baseboard blues

[Grasswire2]

5. I think fiberboard sounds like a good description.

Considering some other anomalies in this apartment, it's clear that an amateur did the remodel and the materials were not adequate. Despite the high value of the house itself and the fact that the elderly owners are loaded.

Thanks for your input. In order to replace with wood, I assume one would need a mitre box for the corners, and what to affix to the wall? Glue? Nails? And real wood baseboard likely comes in lengths of what length? Eight feet or so?

Thanks.
