Plywood makes a staircase look like a piece of furniture: the pale face is calm, and the striped edge of each tread draws a fine line up the flight. Because the material is so plain, the guarding does the talking. Compare thin metal railings with black mesh netting, and look for the stairs that come with built-in bookshelves.
