No thats not it. There is quite a curve to the front edge of the step. At each side flush with the stair back but at the front about 2 1/2 or 3 inches at the center beyond the back. It follows a gentle curve giving us "older folks" a little more stepping surface to use. I just worry about the slickness of the stair without some type of rubberized surface to step on otherwise I'd just use the laminate to cover it.

Thanks for the thought though.
