In 2001, a customer named Jen was building her dream home in southern Michigan and wanted a beautiful stairway. She could see what she wanted in her mind, but the stair parts she wanted were not available through normal outlets. She wanted unique iron balusters with custom box newels. Len thought he could meet her needs, and StairSupplies was born.
Today, StairSupplies thrives on customizing stairways with iron balusters, the most extensive line of box newels available, a generous selection of handrails and the most beautiful turned newels that you can imagine. While you browse the Stair Supplies website, give your imagination freedom and allow our craftsmen to complete your dream.
Our stair specialists focus on building, creating and designing. Our customers understand that they want their home to be a place of beauty and function, and they need help selecting the right mixture of wood species and design to achieve a beautiful stair creation.
I have to disagree with Mr. Andrews review. After some Covid delay, that we understood, we did receive part of the order. Good quality wood-no problems. However a portion of our order was never delivered. They were to ship it "right away". Never happened. Called again only to find out they were NOT shipped. Since this was holding up our job, I had to drive 100 miles, pick them up from someone else to complete project. My company does not do many stairs. When we called and emailed about installation instructions, got ZERO help. No answers, no help no return email. Rail bolts they recommended are poor-template does Not line up rails well. I recommend you go with another type of railbolt. If you have much experience installing complex handrail systems, the quality of the wood products is excellent. Customer follow up, not so good. Very disappointed
Great company with excellent support. The part I ordered were of the highest quality. Good for the DIY crowd.
I went from impressed, to disappointed but understanding, to irritated and unimpressed. Ordering replacement treads online was relatively easy and the finishes looked good. I called to get a sample of what my wife and I had decided. After speaking with one of their reps he talked me into looking at an extra sample. We received two samples. We were wanting Ash with a natural finish. The two samples looked similar but the one marked Ash - Blonde looked slightly richer so we ordered that. As it turns out the sample was marked incorrect. Ash - Blonde was delivered and it is MUCH darker....almost like walnut. I contacted the company multiple times. I got one call back according to caller ID but they left no message. When I called that number back it goes to voice mail. Resolution and quality control are taking hits during the Wuhan virus evidently. I now have 13 expensive treads sitting in my garage that I can't bring myself to install. To be sure, the construction and quality are fantastic....if we wanted walnut finished treads. Stair Supplies should do a FaceTime or Skype call with you showing the finish that you both agree to before ordering or else you could end up with thousands of dollars worth of nice looking fire wood like me. UPDATE: I spoke with Jackie today. She said she would order a remake on the stairs. It will take a while due to the virus, but I get it. I'm moving them up to 2 stars because of this. I will keep you posted. If they correct this I will be back to very impressed.
The knowledgeable staff at Stair Supplies was great to work with on my remodel project. The quality of all materials received, to include dark walnut 2" stair treads, dark walnut railing tops and all indoor and outdoor cable railing is second to none. If I could include pictures here, you'd see a fabulous end result. (only including one of several order numbers)
I don’t even know where to begin considering the hell this place has put me through. On December 20,2019 I place an order for a dozen treads. They tell me it’ll be shipped by January 27,2020. I’m not an annoying customer and wasn’t calling them constantly and following up leading up to the end of January. I’m a professional and expect the same from people I do business with. On January 20th I call them ONE time in that entire time to ask if everything is going according to schedule and that I’ll be receiving my steps next week. They assure me , everything is going according to plan and I’ll have them. On the 28th of January I call them asking why I don’t have my tracking number emailed to me yet and the status of my order. They give me the run around , and the following morning I get an email stating that my steps are “still in production “ I call up , FURIOUS and demanding answers, I ask the representative ( Brandon ) what the hell does that mean that it’s “in production “ when you told me last week I’d have them by the 27th, I asked , “ when did you start my Order” , Brandon said. “we’re starting today” I absolutely lost it, I was yelling and screaming and couldn’t believe how incompetent and dishonest they were! He had the nerve to tell me “ things happen, sometimes there are delays at the warehouse where the steps are made” To which I replied “ I understand delays , when I called last week, your people said I’d have them on the 27th” they lied ! This was a $3,000 dollar Order !! Keep in mind , I had a local guy build me a metal stringer based on “ stairsupplies “ sample step which I wasted $300.00 on - so now here I am, with a different stringer from another company because stairsupplies stringer wouldn’t work for me because of the clearance of head room. I asked how Brandon would rectify the situation he said he’d speak to his manager and get back to me . The next day this piece of garbage , emails me saying he felt threatened by my tone and would no longer have any communication with me and was going to cancel my order . I apologized for yelling , said I don’t want any credit , just plz put a rush on my steps and send them ASAP , he said NO, that’s it. End of conversation. They basically wasted 6 weeks of my time, and when I kindly asked him to AT LEAST tell me the measurements of the tread I ordered since I built a stringer based on that size , he didn’t even give me the courtesy of responding. DISGUSTING!! Then I had to order treads from another place which took an additional 5 weeks. Basically I wasted 3 months all because I got involved with these liars. Do yourselves a favor - stay away from this company and their other company “ viewrail” which is made at the same factory. They’re a bunch of Time wasting liars !!!
I recommend anyone considering making a purchase from this company be extremely careful.
Mckenna was great! I had an issue with a delivery that she handled immediately. Then I made a mistake, and she graciuosly handled for me again! Highly reccomend due to their customer service department. Scott
Fit perfectly, looks great...
Instructions were sketchy they were just copies and hard to follow need illustrations to show where to measure from. I now need to reorder stainless rods to replace the ones that were cut too short
The kit come with everything we needed aside from a drill. Every part had a part number that matched their assembly drawing so it was easy to put together. I was worried the stanchions would feel to flexible but they are made with thick walled metal and have a really smart welded design that hides all the weld beads. The final product looks so good its hard to believe we did it ourselves. My only warning is to be careful when tensioning as it is easy to overload the system and bend things.
Toke over twice as long to receive, and then left out multiple items. They did reship the forgotten items once I called. Material is great, prices are good. Time frame for jobs not so good.
Excellent product and customer service! We replaced an old iron stairway and catwalk railing with glass panels with wooden railings. They were very knowledgeable and willing to help answer questions to make sure we ordered the correct items for our project. Detailed instructions and telephone support made the project easy. Quality product that looks great! We would purchase from Stair Supply again. Highly recommend.
Everything arrived as expected. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I had issues with the handrail. The profile that I selected was the 6610. This profile is too thin to drill the 1” hole for the mounting hardware and plug. The 6710 profile is a better selection so that you don’t drill through the side of the handrail.
My gender is a female and I have been doing and learning the construction way to a home , I ordered and this company delivered and this being my first experience at this and with this company I just have to say , I can only give a 5 star in all categories and a big thank you 🙏 and say my project for the first time working on stair railing,I gave myself a 3 and I can only improve.
Great Experience, knowledgeable friendly staff!!!
The products that they deliver are excellent, but the sales experience was not good. It took me 3 calls and one week of time before I could finally speak to a sales rep. They were always in meetings or at lunch.
My stairs are beautiful!
Haven't used the parts yet so rating is just the ordering process and delivery.
The product we ordered was a "Viewrail" cable deck railing. Quality of product was very high and easy to assemble. Arrived to jobsite very quickly as well. Will definitely order another!

May 29,2020Your team made one of my stair stringers wrong and I have been waiting 2 months for a new one which was supposed to ship on the 25th of May and I have no correspondence regarding that shipment, despite repeated emails and calls. I cannot get an occupancy permit without stairs. I have paid contractors to install and remove the stringer. Purchased $12,000 of exterior railings based on your promise that it would be delivered on the 15th and no response. I am sorely disappointed. Mike Baldwin 443-250-1166
