Would RecommendThe riser is primed and ready to paint. It is easy to cut and fit to the existing stairs. I rated it low because every piece (12) was cupped making installation challenging.

Some risers are overspray with paint and warp.
much better than MDF, and good price.

They are ok.
Would RecommendThese 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.
