A friend had them on the way into his bedroom when living at his parents. It was just plain odd, but everybody in his family were quite adept and shooting up and down the stairs. To me it was like being on a boat. I'd agree with other comments, if you can, go with normal stairs. For one thing, you'll be able to the carpet them, which will help keep the noise down of people going up and down them.
