Warped

Would Not Recommend

Warped. 9 of the panels were warped and had to be thrown away. Looked like a great product but not a great result.

Worked great my first time using these

We used these as risers for my daughter's staircase. They were easy to cut, paint and install. I recommend them.

They are ok.

Would Recommend

These are OK, but you might be better off spending the extra money on the ones they have in the store that are a few dollars more. With these you can still see the wood grain because they are not solid wood, but pieces glued together. The slightly more expensive ones don't show the wood grain, its more solid. The picture shows the difference of the two, if you can see it.

Try something else

Would Not Recommend

Wood quality is really flawed and cheap. I’ve sanded then painted with multiple coats of good quality paint and still the surface looks awful. I haven’t installed them yet. Wish I could return them and try something else. Waste of money.
