Each tread is beveled from the front to back surfaces and each of the riser is beveled from the top to the bottom surface. Each tread features one or more notches cut into its back surface and each riser includes a complementary hook cut into its bottom surface. The hooks on the risers engage the notches on the treads forming an open-faced channel. Removable covers fit over the treads of the stair box core. These covers protect the stair box core and/or they feature decorative building materials like hardwood or tile. The system allows the user to upgrade their stairs by replacing the covers with covers featuring a different finished surface.
