Are these called spindles? I would like to remove them. I will be painting and updating fixtures soon. Are these bearing any kind of load? Tips for what to put there?

When you do the upgrades, be sure to put the sink on the floor, it'll drain better that way.

And that's not load bearing.

They may be holding up the floor, or maybe bracing the walls. Sorry I jus couldn't resist. But I agree with Joe & 747
