  "answer": "Qdos Universal Stair Mounting Adapter: Each adapter is designed for one banister, for a banister on one side and a wall on the other. If there are banisters on both sides, two adapters are needed.\nQdos Universal Baseboard Adapter: Each adapter is designed for one baseboard, so two are needed if there is a baseboard on both sides.\nQdos Pressure Mount Y-Spindles: The pack contains two Y-spindles only, so a stairway with spindles on both sides needs two packs to cover top and bottom on both sides.",
