Many customers color the brass to suit their needs. Although we do-not offer this option, if you search online there are various brass coloring techniques and solutions available.

Best and easiest attachment method. Machine screw inserts through hole from underneath mounting surface and screws into bottom of post. Nickel-colored machine screws included.
- Drill hole through wood surface, insert screws from underneath of surface, through hole and thread into bottom of post.
- The gallery rail can be used on stone such as marble or granite provided holes are predrilled at post locations. Machine screws are inserted from under-side of stone, through hole and into base of post.
- If preferred: Brass Ball Head Screws or Brass Thumb Screws can be used, in place of standard machine screws, to attach posts. Use when screw head is visible. Sold separately.
Cap-Nut Attachment Method for wood, stone and tempered glass
This installation method provides an old-time appearance. as it displays a Brass Nut on underside of shelf. Use Threaded stem with brass cap nut in place of standard machine screw attachment method. It is sold separately.
- Drill hole through wood surface to accommodate a 3/8” diameter threaded stem.
- If used on marble, granite, or tempered glass: mounting-holes must be predrilled at post locations.
- If post has brass-bushing in base: unscrew bushing and remove.
