A slide converts a staircase into a ramp for conveying furniture, appliances, cartons and the like from one elevation to another. A narrow, elongated, rectangular, thin, flat, substantially rigid sheet is long enough to span the apices of the steps of the staircase. An upper corner tether maintains the downwardly extending sheet in a spanning relationship across the apices of the steps. The underside of the sheet is pressed downwardly by the weight of the sheet against the apices of the steps. A lower corner tether may be used to maintain the long edge of the sheet proximate the side of the staircase. For longer staircases, multiple slides are used with narrow edges serially overlapped so as to form a continuous slide spanning the steps. The direction of overlap corresponds to the desired direction of movement of articles on the slide.
