Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I wanted these to add a more polished look to basic wood deck stairs - unfortunately they don't stay on the stairs - they are slippery and fly out from under your feet when it rained or was icy. Not good for a climate that has so much rain - use with caution

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These are not worth a dollar. Very low quality, thin and chinzy. They are slippery on the underside so as soon as you step on them they slide out from under you.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

This is just what we needed for our wooden steps. We did secure them to the step with small screws in the corners, but we don't have to worry about someone slipping on our steps...

I purchased these for my 80 year old in-laws for their front steps. these mats slipped right off the step when my husband tested them. They 'look' nice but are useless for a safe step. I am very unhappy with this product.

My black lab was having trouble going up and down the deck steps. These were just what i was looking for. We washed them and tacked them on the steps. Though hesitant to step on them at first, our lab quickly learned to love them! They were just tested after our first snowstorm and passed with flying colors! Snow can be easily swept off the tread providing steady footing.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

The mats arrived with an oily film on them and instructions to clean them before use. Question-why aren't they cleaned before they're shipped?

So I cleaned them with soap & water. Still slippery. So I cleaned them again with a grease cutter. No longer slippery but now sticky with black stuff that leaves marks on the surface and the bottom of your shoes.

Never again.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I'm surprised at all the posts that say their stair treads slipped. I put mine on newly-painted steps (although I had put a non-slip additive in the porch paint) and have not had any problems with them slipping, even during a heavy rainstorm. They have been out all summer, most of the day in direct sunlight, and have not faded. Great value for the money, and I feel the steps are much safer for my family and visitors.

didn't use degreaser until I read the reviews; should have come with instructions and a degreasing kit

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These attractive stair guards are supposed to be attached to your stairs with adhesive strips that are supposed to be included BUT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED. It is a mistake on behalf of [...] catalog.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I put them of my deck steps(12)they are very attractive but there is some type finish on them
that makes them so slick even after washing with soap and water it will not come off they are very dangerous i will not use them. Would not recommend them.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Had the hardest time finding outdoor stair treads for Mom's newly painted wood stairs. So after seeing similar treads in high end catalogs for twice the price thought I'd give these a try and I was not disappointed. Washed them in soapy water with a stiff brush. Took a tip from another reviewer and used cup hooks to secure them in place and that worked like a charm. Can now be easily removed for painting touch-ups or whatever. A typical Maine winter will tell the tale for durability but after a month we are very pleased with the way they look and feel.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

My front porch steps had a bunch of wear and tear on the paint job. We're actually getting pretty close to needing to replace the steps altogether. However, to save some time and money at this stage, I bought these. Sure, they don't stick very well, but that's nothing that some additional supplies can't fix. They look good and hide a lot of imperfections.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I saw these first, at a friends house. I liked them and ordered them on-line without reading the reviews, so I was a little skeptical. BUT- I love them. I was looking to spice up the back area outside the back door and this did the trick! I love these and they do not slip from my back steps.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

My front deck and stairs get EXTREMELY slippery during our long Washington wet fall/winter/spring weather. I have these SCREWED down to prevent them from creeping the way my door mat constantly does.

Note: the strong rubber smell goes away after a few days.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I read several reviews that described this product as slippery. Yes they are (as shipped), but you have to clean/wash them off with a degreaser of some kind to rid the tread of the slippery substance. After cleaning they work great and look great on my outdoor wooden steps. Great Price too!!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Elderly dog can now go outside with out falling down the deck steps. They do need to be washed first with a degreaser.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

The mats were a gift for my 80+++ year old Granparents so they wold not slip. The mats don't stay put and my Grandparents are not able to use them!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Too thin, look really cheap, don't cling to the step

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

The treds are very nice looking for the money. The smell that comes with them is horrible! Even though the treds fit the stairs nicely, they do not stay in place very well. I'm forever having to put them back or line them up. You might want to think twice on this one, price may be nice, but then again, you get what you pay for.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

The treads are beautiful but they don't come with tape on the back to secure them to the stairs. On my freshly painted stairs, they were too slippery. I had to secure them with tacking for safety. Instructions on safety measures should be included with packaging.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These treads were the perfect solution for a small wooden "bridge" we built over a shallow drainage ditch. We attached them with screws so they would not slide. I recommended them to a friend and she ordered that same day!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These just finished off the beautiful entry to my garage! I love the way they look, and so do my neighbors!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Just what I needed for the two steps leading into the house. They are flat enough but still cover the step to assure a safe stepping platform.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Is not safe on outdoor cement steps. Doesn't cling to cement floor.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These were perfect for my current project of tearing carpet off my stairs and sanding the wood underneath. I didn't want carpet treads as they would hide all the work I just did. These look really nice, but I will need to add non skid backing.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I COULD NOT GET THEM TO STAY PUT ON THE STAIRS. EVERYTIME WE WOULD STEP ON THEM THEY WOULD SLIP OUT FROM UNDER OUR FEET. I HAVE KIDS, WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS. MY HUSBAND FIXED IT BY ATTACHING THEM SECURELY TO THE STAIRS. I WOULD NOT BUY THESE AGAIN.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I ordered these rubber stair treads to help make some tiled, outside steps safer and less slippery, especially in damp or rainy weather. Unfortunately, the treads were as slippery and possibly even more slippery than the tile. Not a bad product, just didn't work for the problem/application I had in mind.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Perfect for backporch steps. Arrived with a slick ArmorAll type coating which quickly disappeared with use. As far as moving around on the steps, we placed two c hooks at the back of each step cooresponding with the mat size. We hooked the mats to those (similar design concept as car mat hooks). The mats dont' slip and can still be removed for cleaning or repainting of steps.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

They look nice, but they slip out. Should be in an area without alot of traffic.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I now have both of my hips replaced and arthritis in both of my knees and was looking for stair threads for safety reasons and a finished look to my front porch. Thanks for both...the threads are easy to move but once weight is applied they stay put.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Nice but how do you keep them from slipping off the steps?

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

When the treads arrived they were covered with an oily film that took a while to remove. They were very, very slippery!! They needed to be cleaned with a brush, hot water and degreaser. It took two sessions with the scrub brush.

But for the price, it was worth it. They look wonderful -- just what I wanted for an exterior stairway.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

My family just bought a lake house that has a huge cedar deck with many steps down to the lake. What a beautiful way not only to protect the steps but also providing style and safety for our friends and family! We also purchased the matching door mats to complete the set!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These treads constantly move. One slipped out from under my feet when the stairs were wet and I fell. DO not buy !!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

My dog has trouble climbing steps and this has helped her tremendously. She now has something to grip onto and the treads look great.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

These treads make for surer footing on my multideck steps in the early morning dew or after a light rain.I also appreciate the low profile since there isn't the same danger of tripping that I've found with thicker higher end stair mats.I LOVE them!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

We have painted stairs leading from the garage into the house. These save me from having to paint them over and over again. And they look great.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

It is an easy way to add style and charm to outdoor steps.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I ordered the stair treads for my steps outside to my deck and porch. I have two rubber mats for the top of the stairs purchased from another vendor that are excellent. In comparison, these treads are much lighter, do not stay in place, and do not serve the purpose as I have a dog that knocks them off the stairs whenever he goes up or down, Very disappointed in the product!! [...]

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I am very happy with the product and priced great!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I got them since our steps are slippery when wet. My husband started down, and the mat, itself, slid out from under him. He's recovering from a hip replacement, and he certainly didn't need a fall like he got.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Being elderly these stair treads will keep us from slipping on the outside stairs in rain and snow.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I ordered these after falling down my porch stairs in the rain. Not only do they prevent against falls, but they are very attractive addition to my porch. I highly recommend these!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

They slide off steps. I tries on wood, stone and Trex surfaces. Does NOT stay in place.
I had to staple to steps which look horible.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

THE OUTSIDE STAIRS WERE SLIPPERY SO I GOT THESE FOR THE THAT, WORKS GREAT. HAVENT SLIPPED SINCE.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

They dressed up some very plain wooden steps! They look great!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

They are not thick enough or heavy enough to stay in place. They move when stepped on. I even tried double sided tape.
Defeated the purpose. They are VERY thin.
Yes, they do look cute.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

I am more than pleased with the quality and appearance of these treads! And with that price I am purchasing more!! Highly recommend!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Filigree Stair Treads:

Looks great and works great, especially for those winter months!
