The DreamStair Cover is engineered to slide seamlessly over six full-sized apple boxes (each measuring 20" W x 12" D x 8" H) arranged in a specific configuration to form a stable, three-tiered staircase. The layout consists of:

• Bottom Level: Lay 3 apple boxes flat in a single row, side-by-side. (36" total width)
• Middle Level: Stack 2 apple boxes directly on top of the second and third boxes in the bottom row.
• Top Level: Place the final apple box on top of the very last box in the back row to complete the top step.

To create the proper final dimensions of 20" wide x 36" deep x 24" tall, the cover cinches around the sides, compressing the setup into a snug, stair-shaped form. The stretch of the fabric and precision-sewn corners ensure a smooth, wrinkle-resistant finish while keeping each box in place beneath the cover.

This clever design not only hides the raw wood edges of the apple boxes but also transforms them into a polished, photo-ready element that integrates perfectly with your DreamEasy backdrop panels. The result: clean lines, soft textures, and a fully coordinated look that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

The DreamStair Cover isn’t just a styling tool—it’s a secret weapon for creating layered, high-impact portraits. Use it to add dimension to flat sets, create elegant posing platforms, or give young clients a fun and interactive space to shine. It’s perfect for showcasing wardrobe details like flowing dresses or graduation gowns, staging sibling or group shots at different levels, or bringing a sculptural element to fine art and boudoir sessions. Whether you're shooting dreamy children’s portraits, editorial seniors, or intimate styled sets, the DreamStair Cover helps you step up your scene—literally. And as the first company to bring this innovation to market, Baby Dream Backdrops makes it easier than ever to elevate your photography—one step at a time.

Pro Tip from Esther Kay:
To ensure your DreamStair Cover fits smoothly and stays rock-solid during a session, arrange your apple boxes in two rows of three. For added safety and structure, she tapes the boxes together using strong gaffer’s or Gorilla tape, creating a single, stable unit.

She threads the tape through the hand-hold openings, wrapping it both vertically and horizontally around the entire configuration. This crisscross method locks the boxes in place, preventing shifting and separating—especially important when little ones are climbing or posing.

This secure stair base not only makes your setup safer, it also ensures the DreamStair Cover lays flat and smooth across the top and sides, giving you that clean, professional finish in every shot.
