We love our wooden steps, but our dogs are getting older, and going up and down the stairs is hard for them. I bought this product to help them, and keep my steps from getting scratched up. I am very impressed with the look of these tread covers. They are well-made, the material is a good quality. They offer good traction and they look good too. Not only that, but they are easy to install, and I like that you don't have to glue them to the stairs. I didn't need expensive carpet treads, so these are perfect for the money. My pups love them too, and now they can follow mom upstairs to bed without slipping.
