> The owners, Chris & Chuck went above my expectations. The quality of our stair case is amazing. Yes, we waited for delivery but it was so worth it!

## Community Q&A

**Q: What color/supplier is the powder coating?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Dark pewter is the color

**Q: Spacing** *(in Photo Questions)*

Anyway I can find out how much space is between the stairs going up and the stairs going down? The space horizontally... Does that make sense? We are putting in a similar setup and originally had 12" and now only have 8". We will NOT be able to see through our stairs like these so I'm trying to figure out if the 8" space will look odd. This is our only staircase from the basement all the way to the second floor... The idea was you could see all the way to the basement from the second floor. 

Thanks in advance.

A: The space between the steps is 5.5", also we can supply any where in North America we can help you in what your wanting ?

**Q: Are the railings wrought iron?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: no steel powder coated

**Q: Is there a website in how to make this stair case?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is there a website in how to make this stair case?

A: No there isn't a website yet that I know of.

**Q: Do you have a tutorial how to make this Mono Stringer?    Or is it possible to buy them somewhere?  Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do you have a tutorial how to make this Mono Stringer?    Or is it possible to buy them somewhere?  Thanks

A: we use solid not veneer.
