OK. Stress diverted. The guy thought that I wanted the riser carpeted on the top, sides, AND bottom. When I told him that the bottom doesn't need carpet (since it is sitting on the floor which has carpet), he was much happier. They are going to do it in 4 pieces. Since I have a lip on the top/steps, it will work nicely. The top and each step gets a piece that wraps and gets tacked to the underside of the lip. Then they are going to put a long skinny strip all the way around the sides. It will meet up under the lip and that seam will be hidden. There will be a seem in the middle of the back, but it won't be very noticeable if at all. Whew...

Pad is going down in the theater in a couple of minutes, and then the carpet. Woohoo!
