Would Recommendwe got these risers for our stairs make over. most of them came in undamaged condition. happy with product.
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.
Try something else
Would Not RecommendWood 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.

Terrible bowing / cupping… do NOT buy these!!!
Would Not RecommendAs soon as these get a single coat of paint on them they start bowing / cupping… to the point where they probably aren’t usable. The quality control at the factory is terrible and these are definitely not ready to use / functional. Out of the 6 I bought every single one started bowing/cupping as soon as they got a coat of paint on them. Do NOT waste your time with these junk stair risers.
