What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these wood stair treads for transforming outdated carpeted stairs into premium features. Most highlight the solid red oak construction, exceptional grain quality, and how beautifully the wood accepts stain and finish—many report results matching existing flooring and railings. Reviewers consistently note the treads look like custom millwork rather than DIY products. Installation is manageable with common tools and adhesives, with customers appreciating the ability to retrofit over existing stairs without full replacement. The cost savings compared to complete staircase replacement are frequently mentioned. A few report minor fragility during cutting, but the overwhelming majority consider the effort worthwhile and would recommend without hesitation.

This item was on clearance so it was not perfect. But used to make a radiator cover. Only recommend if painted or carpeted. But nicer than pine

quality is good
Would Recommendproduct is sturdy and a great color match to the floor
Great product
Would RecommendGreat for adding hardwood stair treads and removing carpet from stairs
Good quality tread.
Would RecommendHigh quality would, the thickness of the tread is slightly different then trimmed pieces which makes it difficult to match.
High price, low quality ?
Would Not RecommendWe installed about 20 steps recently. The product seems solid initially. However, one already developed a crack within 2 weeks of installing. Another got chipped when just a pencil dropped on it. So, for the expensive piece of 'wood' this is not expected. They should be selling it for less than half price for the quality.
