I like to think of the DNA molecule strand as a ladder, rather than a spiral staircase. The siderail of the DNA ladder (The DNA "Backbone") consists of the Sugar and Phosphate molecules. The rungs of the ladder (the inner bases) consist of the pairs of Nitrogen Bases - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. 

hope this helped :)
