I have a hard time seeing any major flaws in the pictures, whether you manage to get the smith to fix something or if you manage to live with what is - I think it looks nice.
However, I am a nitpicky person myself and if it were my railing, I would probably have forced the smith to redo it 10 times before I was satisfied hehe
Roughly, how many thousands does the price tag come to, if I may ask?

A bit long cantilever span considering the dimensions.
However, the railing appears to be straight on the underside. In that case, there is no sag.
Since the underside is likely to be visible against a flat surface with a straight edge, the chance of deviations being visible there is probably higher.

Yes, it's possible that the construction is too flimsy, but that's something a blacksmith should know. If it's straight at the bottom and a hammock on top, then the square irons must be of different lengths. This indicates that the construction has been adapted to what's become crooked instead of the other way around. The cost for this railing + 2 sides, each about 1.80 + galvanization + installation, 15 + VAT.
if it is the blacksmith who constructed it, he is responsible, but often you receive a finished drawing that someone else made and that you are supposed to follow, and not everyone wants to start discussing the construction with the person who drew it, instead, a fool does as a fool says.

However, the drawing can be of the finished product; at work, we draw the finished product, since the path to it can vary depending on which production unit is used. Therefore, the responsibility lies instead with production technology at the relevant PU to take into account shape changes during heat treatment, etc.
