Let me start by saying these stair treads are a lifesaver! I installed them on my wooden staircase, and the difference is night and day. The polyester surface is soft underfoot yet durable enough to withstand daily traffic from kids, pets, and clumsy adults like me.

The adhesive backing is genius – it sticks firmly without damaging my beautiful hardwood. I’ve repositioned a few treads multiple times (perfectionist problems!), and they still adhere perfectly. No residue, no fuss.

What surprised me most was how they transformed my stairs aesthetically. The dark grey option blends seamlessly with my modern decor while adding much-needed texture. They’ve become an unexpected design element that guests compliment!

For pet owners, these are worth their weight in gold. My senior dog who used to hesitate on the stairs now navigates them confidently. When he had an accident (we’ve all been there), the tread washed easily and stuck right back on like new.

The only minor drawback? They’re slightly thinner than premium options. But for the price and performance, I can’t complain. After witnessing a nasty fall on bare wooden stairs at a friend’s place, I appreciate every bit of extra traction these provide.

Pro tip: The included extra adhesive tape gives peace of mind for high-traffic areas. Three months in, mine haven’t budged without needing it though!
