What Customers Are Saying

The product received mixed reviews. Many found the risers to be of good quality and easy to install and paint, appreciating the pre-primed finish and ability to cut them to size. However, a significant number reported issues with warping and cupping, which made installation difficult and resulted in an uneven final appearance. Some recommended spending more for higher-quality solid wood risers instead. While the product works well for some, the widespread reports of warping suggest potential quality control concerns.

Perfect fix for damaged existing risers

 Would Recommend

This product was a lifesaver for our re-treading project! Removing old carpet revealed MDF treads that I swear were glued down with a full tube of Liquid Nails on each tread! Required ALOT of muscle and some damage to existing risers. Covering them with this product was a perfect fix. I give 4 stars only because I found they cupped and warped slightly when I painted them BEFORE installing. This required some finessing to get the fit right but overall, very happy. Would recommend

Good product

 Would Recommend

Thin for wood riser board. I recommend running 150 grit sandpaper over it before painting. Leaves a smoother wood grain.

Decided to spend the money and go with real oak

 Would Not Recommend

After I bought this, I decided to spend a little bit more and get real red oak risers to match the oak tread instead of this product. Very glad I did. I was upgrading just two carpeted stairs to be hardwood and not doing a whole stair case, so it was worth it to me. I used minwax pecan color to stain the oak twice and then put three coats of polyurethane on it. The result far exceeded my expectations. Glad I did not skimp.
