PVC railings on front steps?

Anyone have them? Do you feel like they are secure enough? We currently have wrought iron that needs replacing but we are not sure if we should do wrought iron again or do PVC. I like the look but I recently was at a house with them and they seemed very rickety. I suppose it would be weird to ask people I don't know in my neighborhood if I can try theirs out.

Ours actually have steel rods and brackets to hold them up. My contractor has them custom made, since he's not happy with how sturdy they are normally. With the rod and brackets bolted through the steps, they aren't going anywhere! Chat Icon

In the last picture, you can see the steel rods on the bottom right step, and the back of the stoop.
