What Size Should I Get?
If youre wondering which size riser is right for your school, School Outlet advises you to consider the size of the room in which the riser will be placed and how many people it is expected to accommodate. Leave enough room for steps if necessary so students can get on and off of the risers safely and easily.
Should I Get a Hardboard or Carpet Riser?
All of the risers School Outlet sells have a solid plywood core. You can choose to have hardboard or carpet covering. The hardboard is a more economical option. Carpeting is available in a variety of colors and dresses up the appearance of the riser. But it is typically more expensive than hardboard.
