3-1/2" Thick Poplar - Stain Grade Landing Platform - Butcher Block

The 31/2" Poplar Butcher Block Landing Platform is a showstopper-thick, solid, and finished to perfection on all 6 sides. Solid 5/4 lumber boards are glued face-to-face to reach the full 31/2" thickness, showcasing rich face grain with a 1/8" roundover on every edge for a smooth, polished transition. Poplar is a fine-grained hardwood with a smooth, consistent surface that excels as a paint-grade option, delivering a flawless finish when painted. Its light green-to-cream coloring and even texture make it an ideal substrate for custom color schemes. While softer than oak or maple (Janka 540), Poplar is a cost-effective choice for painted staircases where a perfect, uniform surface matters most. Available in standard sizes of 36" x 36", 42" x 42", and 48" x 48"-or specify a custom size. Choose unfinished or pre-finished to your specifications. Pair with Viewrail FLIGHT floating stairs and cable or glass railing for a dramatic, open-concept staircase. Matching stair treads are available to complete your staircase.
