A post mount for affixing a construction member having a cavity to a floor includes a support block, an adjustment plate, a plurality of adjustment bolts threadably mounted to the adjustment plate, a bearing plate, a plurality of optional compression pins, a clamping plate, a bolt extending therethrough, and a nut connected to the bolt. The support block is fixedly attached to the floor and is slidingly received in the cavity. The post mount securely affixes the post to the floor and permits the post to be oriented plumb with the vertical direction and provides support to allow the post to withstand moderate shock loading to the lower end thereof. A second embodiment of the present invention is attached to a floor that has an inaccessible underside, such as a concrete floor. The second embodiment does not utilize compression pins or a clamping plate, and instead uses a threaded insert disposed within the floor, the bolt cooperating threadably with the threaded insert to secure the post mount against the floor. A third embodiment of the present invention additionally includes a sleeve that fits between the support block and the cavity and can extend the length of the post.
