What are the treads made of? It seems odd to make a stairs like this
and not to use a finish material for the treads.

The treads are made of 1" plywood. I once asked a contractor to replace
the treads with hardwood. He basically said he could do it w/o
destroying the stair. He suggested to use carpet instead. I presume
adding carpet will also change risersize at the top and bottom.
