Factory seconds feature machining or additional natural defects that professionals can generally work with and work around. They are not a direct substitute for first quality products. They will require work and are not to be used in place of first quality products. These defects may include but are not limited to machining that's out of tolerance (i.e. too thin or thick), incomplete glue joints, end splits, season checking, rough finish/mismachining, too short to make full length or visible knots/defects on the good side of the tread. If you buy these, please plan on cutting/gluing/routing/sanding and so on. They are great for patching, landings, and other applications where you need some but not all of a tread. Please view pictures for examples of some (not all) possible defects. Please keep in mind that on the traditional retread, the front cove moulding may be cracked, broken, or missing as it is fragile.
Because we offer factory seconds at such a deep discount, we are unable to offer free shipping or additional discounts on them. No warranty is expressed or implied. All factory second sales are final.
Since we ship across the country, we often spray our treads with a stabilizer to reduce the effect of changes in moisture between climates. This coating has no effect on staining or finishing. We always recommend that you work with an expert for finishing to achieve the best results. We recommend sealing the tread entirely in the finishing process. If doing the work yourself, you should consult with a pro at minimum to ensure you have the proper techniques.

United StatesOne of my best remodeling purchases ever
Everything was great, quick service, amazing packing and fantastic product for the price - literally transformed the ugliest stairs to the basement into the showstopper of the house! 100% satisfied!!
United StatesGreat Product
This is a great product for an older house remodel, the treads were better than I expected for factory 2nds, a little sanding, cut to size, stain, poly and install, finished project looks great. if these are 2nds i would love to see the better grade. Great company to deal with, good prices, very fast shipping and very well packed.

Looks like what I'm looking for, need to cut down a little and trial fit. Very well engineered packageing.

Very fast delivery. Was exactly what they described and install was easy. Looks amazing.
United StatesThese are a great option
These are a great option to consider alongside non-seconds. I ordered 8 for a project. All 8 were ultimately usable. 5 needed no extra work beyond what a regular tread would need. Two had some tearout that was easily fixed with stainable wood filler, sanding and staining. Now indistinguishable. One had some marks that needed an extra 5 or so minutes of sanding with 80-grit to knock down. The remainder the faults were on the underside, came off with the normal sanding, or on an edge that got cut off anyway. You may want to order an extra couple of units just in case you can't use one-- you'll still be saving money compared to buying full price from a big box store.
