Is this a load-bearing pillar by the stairs?
Hello, I've read through various threads with similar questions, but since I don't have the drawings and haven't moved in yet, I'm asking you - what do you think, is this a load-bearing column or can we remove it and put oak slats/trellis instead?
If it's load-bearing... maybe one can put an oak trellis in the gap and then clad the existing column in oak? That might be clunky... any other suggestions?
I have painters coming a few days after moving in, so I'd like to have demolished / plastered / ... before then.
Thank you very much in advance!

It is clear that the column was added after the railing was installed and the hole in the ceiling does not require any support, so it is 99% non-load-bearing.
Sometimes, in the case of factory-built modular homes, temporary supports are used to transport the module. Sometimes, someone forgets to remove them later...

Oh, I really hope you are correct, would be so much easier! 🤞it’s a catalog home from 1972S sturnus said:It is clear that the column was added after the railing was installed and the hole in the ceiling does not require any support, so it is 99% non-load-bearing.
