The Red Oak Butterscotch (D34) Retro Riser 42 in is the matched-wood companion to Red Oak Butterscotch (D34) retro treads — prefinished in the same warm amber-honey D34 stain for a fully consistent staircase. Installs over your existing riser with adhesive and a brad nailer, no removal needed.

Butterscotch D34 is the current formulation replacing the discontinued E33 Legacy Stain — a warm orange-honey mid-tone that pairs naturally with medium-tone hardwood floors, beige and cream walls, and transitional interiors. If your retro treads are Butterscotch D34, this is the riser that completes the set.

Product Questions and Answers
  1. Q:What is the difference between D34 and E33 Butterscotch?
    A:D34 is the current Butterscotch formulation replacing the discontinued E33 Legacy Stain. D34 is visually very similar — a warm amber-honey tone. If you have older E33 treads, D34 is the closest available match for new risers. Order a sample pack to compare if color consistency is critical.
  2. Q:Should I order Butterscotch risers and treads together?
    A:Yes — ordering together ensures the same color run for the most consistent match. It also saves on separate shipping.
  3. Q:Is there matching Butterscotch cove moulding available?
    A:Yes — Red Oak Butterscotch (D34) Cove Moulding 48 in ($10.30) is available at WoodStairCo. Cove moulding fills the angle between tread and riser for a clean, finished appearance.
  4. Q:Can I use Butterscotch risers with a different tread stain?
    A:Technically yes, but the best result comes from matching riser and tread stain. Butterscotch D34 is a warm amber-honey — it pairs well with Natural or Golden Oak treads for a tonal warm effect, or contrast with Smoke or Dusk treads for a warm-cool mix. Matching is the most professional result.
