Would RecommendGreat product (but only when the stocker does not cut the face of the board with his box cutter knife on opening the box. I ended up with 3 pieces damaged this way!)
Excellent product. Use correct adhesive.
Would RecommendExcellent product. I didn't know these existed until I stumbled across them in Lowes. I was going to use a 1x6 and was not looking forward to filling in the imperfections and smoothing the boards. When I was at the store, I did not notice the warning on the plastic wrap that said to make sure you use a polyurethane-based adhesive, not a water-based adhesive.

Perfect fix for damaged existing risers
Would RecommendThis 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 RecommendThin 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 RecommendAfter 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.
