- a first riser bend extending between the first nose top section and the first riser section;
- a first wall groove portion comprising:
- a first groove front section extending approximately parallel to the first riser section along a first direction approximately perpendicular to the first nose bottom section;
- a first groove back section extending approximately parallel to the first groove front section along the first direction;
- and
- a first groove bend extending between the first groove front section and the first groove back section;
- and
- a first spline coupling portion comprising a first spline receiver groove;
- a second baseboard element comprising:
- a second nose portion comprising:
- a second nose top section and a second nose bottom section, wherein the second nose top section is opposite the second nose bottom section;
- and
- a second nose front section extending between the second nose top section and the second nose bottom section;
- a second riser portion coupled to the second nose portion, the second riser portion comprising:
- a second riser section extending approximately perpendicular to the second nose bottom section;
- and
- a second riser bend extending between the second nose top section and the second riser section;
- a second wall groove portion comprising:
- a second groove front section extending approximately parallel to the second riser section along a second direction approximately perpendicular to the second nose bottom section;
