Cherry, maybe?

The only thing i could find is oak . Any stains , waxes , etc - would
you recommend ? To get that cherry look , low maintenance , long life.


Where'd you look? Googling on "cherry stair tread" returns a number of useful
hits.

Too high for my blood (45-60.00). Just trying to get the house ready to
sell.

Ah, that's a horse of a different color. Would cherry laminate flooring be too
low-end for this house? If the treads, risers, etc. are already in place and
still solid, that might be the least expensive way to get it pretty.

I'm not a big fan of the oak grain pattern, no matter how it's stained, but
that's just a personal taste issue.
