Abstract: A stairway unit for a multi-level construction including briefly: a one-piece metal member forming both treads and risers, parallel metal stringer members each presenting a vertical planar side to the one-piece metal member; and the edges only of the one-piece metal member being connected to the stringers as by welding. No additional tread members are required and the stairway may be used as is, or with the addition of pads and carpeting to the treads and/or risers or with other suitable covers.
