The pieces themselves are pretty great. Very consistent and are made of the exact flooring I’m using. My only complaint is that they kept the cork backing, which I had to remove manually. There is no world where the cork backing would be glued to stairs and hold up, and they should know that. For the price I expected ready to use pieces, and instead it took me an extra 2 days to shave off the cork backing. Also, if you are already buying the flooring you don’t need the tread kit, just the nosings. The kit simply comes with one full-size plank for $10 a pop. That’s 2x than what you pay at Floor & Decor for a sample, and the Ben more if you can just use the pieces from your own boxes.
