bannisters
Handrails on stairs
Bannisters is an alternate spelling of banisters, the handrails and their supporting posts that run alongside a staircase.
Children are often warned not to slide down the bannisters.
The term can refer to the complete railing structure or specifically to the vertical posts, also called balusters.
