Why Wood Post Stands Out
Popular Shapes & Styles
Box Newels: Large, square posts ideal for modern or farmhouse interiors. Turned Newel Posts: Circular, lathe-carved designs for traditional homes. Square & Modern Posts: Minimalist, straight lines for contemporary staircases, often paired with metal or glass spindles.

Wood Species & Customization
Red Oak & White Oak: Strong and durable, with White Oak offering neutral tones for light-colored floors. Maple: Dense hardwood with smooth grain, perfect for painted or modern finishes.
Installation & Usage
Starting Newels: At the bottom of stairs, usually the largest and most decorative. Landing Newels: At turns or landings to maintain rail continuity. Professional Installation: Use Newel Fastening Kits with steel bolts and plates for a secure, wobble-free setup that meets safety standards.
Key Benefits
Structural support for stairs. Wide range of wood species and finishes. Compatible with modern or traditional spindles. Easy customization with unfinished posts.
Still Have Questions?
Quick answers to the questions homeowners ask most before buying.
Should I choose a solid or hollow box newel post?
Both are structurally sound. Hollow box newels allow for hidden mounting or sleeving over an existing post. Solid posts are traditional, heavy, and ideal for turned designs.
How do I stop my newel post from wobbling?
Secure the base using a Newel Mounting Bolt anchored into floor joists. Surface nailing or gluing is insufficient for a structural stair post.
Can I mix wood posts with metal spindles?
Yes. Pair White Oak Box Newels with matte black iron spindles or glass panels for a sophisticated, modern look.
What is the standard height for a newel post?
Most newel posts come in 48-inch or 60-inch lengths and can be trimmed to meet handrail height requirements of 34–38 inches above stair nosing.
