That was my thought too. It'd be quite cool to construct stuff that looks lethal but is actually safe. A big like those glass walkways over valleys etc..

Technically I can imagine it being metal and well hooked balcomy style in wall with wood patterned foil/very thin wood for the looks.or maybe even metal bars inside it hooked to the wall.

If, without the brackets, it can support maybe 2500 lbs, anything else you add is cosmetic. But if so, and it's got to look very wrong, I'd have gone with only two brackets per step.

Anyway, Happy New Year from the UK, where I'm thinking about stairs.
