Terrible bowing / cupping… do NOT buy these!!!

Would Not Recommend

As 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.

Warped and difficult to attach

Would Not Recommend

I bought 13 of these to go with the new oak treads I was installing on an existing staircase. All 13 were warped, causing them to stick out top and bottom. This prevented me from using adhesive alone to apply them as had been my plan. When I tried to put a nail through one, it split. I had to predrill holes for the nails and use more nails than I wanted to in order to pull the warped board into place against the existing riser. The wood is hard enough to resist the head of even a finish nail, so...
