Writing a review after our 2nd purchase of this stair tread. We bought the beige / tan color and it looks decent with our oak flooring. We have two 50lb dogs who are fluffy and slip on the hard surface floors, so this helps them have traction going up and down the stairs. The treads stay in place and held up well... The price is reasonable enough that we replaced the whole set once some of the treads started looking very worn out. To note - the material will trap dirt but can be vacuumed. A darker color tread will hide dirt better than the beige ones we bought.

September 9 2024 edit: I changed my rating on these. What happened with these is they all moved gradually to the back of the tread until they hit the riser and they have stayed there. No lateral movement - just to the back. My wife has gait/balance issues and easily catches anything underfoot and can trip. So far so good!I guess it's a fine line between non-stick and adhering. When I bought these (9 mos ago) I thought there was some level of adhesion - tackiness. There is zero. I have applied these to unfinished, wooden stairs to my basement. The stairs were thoroughly scrubbed and dried but there is no paint or other finish on them as the basement is unfinished. These move on me as we use them and when I go up - I am constantly adjusting them. I can't wait to vacuum these! I may end up with carpet tape or another product.

Purchased because my elderly dog was slipping and falling on the stairs and needed something to grip. We are starting a kitchen renovation soon so I didn’t want to put a nice runner down just before it would get messed up with construction dust and debris but my dog needed something. This was the Compromise.Pros:Very good price.Very easy to install.Very easy to remove and adjust.I can vacuum them and they don’t come up (I am careful at the edges)Have not damaged hardwood stairs in any way. Dog stopped falling on the stairs - most important part!!!Cons:They are not beautiful.They look fairly cheap.They cling to hair and lint and threads a bit. But that is carpeting and why I didn’t have carpeted stairs in the first place, wood is simply easier to keep clean. I like a clean house. I hate cleaning. I am the house cleaner… nuff said.Summary:These work for the purpose I am using them for. I don’t regret purchasing but glad I didn’t spend more. I plan to wash them and donate them when construction is finished, assuming they survive the wash.If you are looking at my pics for color reference we have medium colored oak floors - gunstock to be precise.

Our 20-year-old sealed oak staircase was becoming treacherous for my aging wife and me. This product arrived yesterday and I installed it this morning. I think it will be great for our purposes. We compared its price to alternative approaches of painting the steps with something gritty or installing additional railings, and this approach already looks like the best value. I was worried about the installation, but there was no need. In case it proves helpful to others, here's the approach I used. First, I cleaned the wood surfaces with cleaning wipes followed by a moist cloth. Second, I fiddled with questions of which layer was the backing and how I could best peel it off. The backing is a very thin clear plastic sheet and not the white material beneath it. There is some challenge in starting to peel it. Sometimes a vigorous pull on the arrowed tab got it to start separating and sometimes not, in which case I ran my thumb over it a few times to initiate the separation. Then, I found that a pair of tweezers was much better than my fingers in gaining a purchase on the sheet after which I could grab hold of it with my fingers. It came off neatly in one piece. The next surprise was that the sticky surface of the tread was not very sticky -- at least not to my touch. But it worked great once attached to the stair-tread. I could even make adjustments in its placement by lifting part of it or all of it and then pressing it back on. My wife and I made trial runs up and down the stairs and found the surface very stable to walk on. It does gather fuzz easily and I had to remove a few pieces from the newly applied surfaces before taking these pictures. But this is not really a complaint.
