These made removing our carpet and adding a hardwood step so easy.

These fit right in just had to trim one side to fit. Highly recommend!

We used this product when removing carpet. They glued right in with minimal cutting. We used the smooth side of the riser with white paint. Very minimal sanding was required. Great product!
Chris Cardone –
This was so much easier than trying to put a brand new frame up for the stairs.

Arrived in good condition, well packaged. FedEx will tell you to have someone that can help lift the pallet from the truck, not accurate. Truck was equipped with a pallet jack and lift. He brought it to our door.

I cannot express how happy I am with these stairs!! My contractor loved them and the quality is fantastic! We were able to stain them to my desired shade and cut to fit my stair case. It looks brand new!! I will be ordering again for the stairs to my basement. Sorry for the delay in my review. We just got to the Foyer and completed the stairs. Love Them!!!!

I purchased oak treads and one riser. The shipment arrived but was missing the riser. Their customer service sent the riser out immediately. The products are just what I was looking for and arrive well packaged. All at MUCH cheaper than big box stores. Great product + great service + great pricing = PERFECT.

Good quality
Stephen Mangum (Verified Customer) –
The best stair trend I have found. Engineered wood so it won’t warp. I do wish it was 1/2″ deeper to give the riser an option for placement. Good quality laminated hard wood. Stains perfectly and the finish is professional.

Boom! Great! Perfect!
Sandy Goldband (Verified Customer) –
They were easy to install and look great.
Mark White (Verified Customer) –
Good quality. The ones to replace carpeting were to narrow at 10.5 inches. Has to glue and additional 1.5 strip on the back edge to make them deep enough to end under the risers. Other than that they were of great quality and lool good.
