Simply for ease to remove for the refreshing the finish of the

OK, there's a valid point. Doesn't seem like something
you'd do terribly often, but I guess when you're at the
"money's no object" level, you might want a bannister with
hidden, dissassemblable fastners.

Are the ceilings, walls, and floors also assembled with hidden,
disassemblable fasteners so they can be taken outside when they need
refinishing?

Jeez, John

Is it that hard for you to concede that there are certain tools, certain
materials, certain procedures, etc. that exist solely to fill a unique
or oddball use or nitch?

I'm not the one who suggested that such a thing would be used for
"bannisters in high end houses" so that they could be removed for the
purpose of being refinished without annoying the occupants of said house
with the odors associated with refinishing.

If they need to be removed from the house in order to avoid such
annoyance, then why doesn't everything else that is likely to need to be
refinished also need to be removed from the house for refinishing?

Following this thread I don't see where anyone has suggested universal
use of the fastening system nor even wide use of it. Why not give it a
rest? If you can't run for King of the World and ban the damn fastener
and be done with it. Either that or grab a cup of STFU.

You've totally missed the point.
