Most stair companies send a fully assembled stair as oversized freight. We cut every part of your stair to your measurements and pack it flat, so it costs less to ship and goes together easily on site.
When you buy a stair, you usually get one of two things. A fully assembled stair is ready to set in place, but it ships as large, expensive freight and often only within a limited delivery area. Loose stair parts ship cheaply, but someone has to measure, cut and fit them on site. The Easy Ship stair gives you the best of both.
DQS builds custom wood stairs to your exact measurements. Design yours in our free online stair builder, and you can choose Easy Ship with one checkbox at checkout.
Pick your stair type, look and measurements in the free stair builder. Enter your delivery ZIP code to see your shipping cost.
At checkout, check “Deliver the stair as a kit, knocked down.” That’s your Easy Ship stair.
We email a shop drawing for your approval before we build. Your stair then ships on a pallet, ready to assemble with the help of our install videos.
An assembled stair is hard to move a long way. A pallet isn’t. Freight carriers move pallets to homes and job sites across the country every day, so wherever you’re building, an Easy Ship stair can get there.
Nothing is generic. The parts on your pallet are the parts of the stair you designed.
An assembled stair is large, awkward freight, and carriers charge for that. Broken down, the same stair stacks flat on a standard pallet that a freight carrier moves like any other shipment.
You’ll see your freight cost in the order summary before you place your order, so you can compare.
Watch the videos before your pallet arrives so you know what to expect on install day.
Choose from every wood and finish DQS offers. Looking for another wood? Ask us about sourcing specialty woods, including Brazilian cherry.
A shop drawing comes to your email for approval first. Nothing is cut until you sign off.
About 7–10 business days for wood stairs and about 6 weeks for monostringers, from approved drawings.
Payments are handled by Stripe.
It’s a custom wood stair that our staff builds to your measurements, then ships as a knocked-down kit on a pallet. You get the precision of a factory-built stair without the cost and hassle of shipping a fully assembled one.
Yes. Easy Ship stairs ship anywhere in the lower 48. Enter your delivery ZIP code in the stair builder to see your freight cost.
Stair parts are generic. Someone has to measure, cut and fit them on site. An Easy Ship stair arrives with every part already cut to your stair’s measurements, so all that’s left is assembly.
Design your stair in the stair builder as usual. At checkout, check “Deliver the stair as a kit, knocked down.” That’s it.
It depends on your stair and your delivery ZIP code. Your freight cost appears in the order summary at checkout, before you place your order.
Installation is simple. Our install videos walk through the whole process, so watch them before your pallet arrives.
Yes. Check “Quote me a prefit rail system too” at checkout and we’ll quote one alongside your stair.
