It is just a great patio beer drinking table with a great view:) I couldn't get a picture of the table and the view because I didn't have the room with just a camera phone but this is the view from the top of the patio with it:)

I have the same thing on my house and do not find it bad and I have grandkids in and out all summer from the pool. But I think you could get some extensions welded on with glass installed between the uprights.

Go to Houzz Products. Scroll down to Furniture. Click on the category of furniture closest to what you are looking for. Enter the specific "wrought iron..." description in the search box. Be sure to use quotations on search terms. Create your own Ideabook of chairs you like. Even if you are not sure about a chair, add it right then. It is impossible to find a specific photo on Houzz without the photo number. It is easy to delete a photo from an Ideabook.

I like glass: it makes the room look modern and spacious and bright. But I can certainly understand your worries about keeping it spotless. (Glass only looks nice if it's clean.) If you are worried about "too many lines" would changing the changing the colour of the iron to something more subtle be an option for you? I agree with Matthews about keeping the balustrade simple and leave out the ornament. The other thought I had was that your staircase has open steps. I find it more constistant to keep the railing open as well instead of closing it up on one side.
