Review on Stylish & Safe: Sussexhome Carpet Stair Treads For Wooden Steps - 4-Pack Of Self-Adhesive, Pet & Kid-Friendly Indoor Treads To Prevent Slipping by Todd Nordine

Super easy to install. I live in New England, where most staircases are narrow and at a ridiculous almost 90 degree angle it feels like. Wooden staircase of course, and you literally feel like you are going to plummet to your death each time you go up and down. My chihuahua slipped and fell one time, and never wanted to attempt again. Also have a toddler, so visions of him falling were terrifying me. I found these and chose them for the pattern/color and price point. I wasn't expecting much, and I was right. Quality wise, this is cheap carpet material - but soft and does the trick. I'm just renting, so I didn't want to spend the money on a quality runner installation and I also didn't want to do anything that would cause damage I would have to repair when I move out. So this is the perfect solution. No more fears when going up and down the stairs!I installed these in about 45 minutes, first I cleaned every step and made sure the wood was completely dry. Then I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I eyeballed it rather than measuring, just make sure if your steps start out wider at the bottom that you account for even placement in the "middle" using the top stairs as your measurement. I put mine closer to the front edge of the stair for best traction. The reason this took me 45 minutes rather than 15 is because the tape is SO FRUSTRATINGLY hard to separate from the protector strip. GOOD GRIEF that was annoying. I literally stood there between steps wasting 5 minutes or more just trying to get the tape protector strips off. Once you do that, it's just a matter of placing it where you want it and pushing down/smoothing out. The tape seemed flimsy but it actually worked great - I've had them in place about a week now and so far they don't budge and I don't think they will. Here's to hoping they stay put a while, or maybe I should be more worried about whether or not I can get the tape off someday! Anyway, well worth it if you need a cheap fix that isn't terrible looking.
