The stair retreads I ordered became out of stock the day after my order was placed. Cheap Stair Parts called me and offered to send the larger stair tread at no extra cost to me (for neither the treads, nor the shipping) and had my order shipped that day. Their service was excellent. The stair parts arrived and were gorgeous, high-quality pieces. Very pleased with this company and would highly recommend.

Arriving quickly and ready to cut to our exact size, stain & varnish! No sanding necessary they are smooth and ready! So excited to see the finished project!

We ordered modern retreads for our stair remodel. Took off ugly old carpeting and replaced with these beautiful modern Treads and risers. Love love love! Shipping was very fast received tracker however shipping companies was not fantastic it took me following up three times before they actually delivered and then we had to meet them because the truck was too big to fit on my road other than that fantastic experience I can’t wait to see these all installed
