- 8. The assembly of claim 7 wherein each web of the second retainer part means of the upstanding cap portion of the baseboard junction member has a standoff support sized to prevent the corresponding web of the corner cap member from going below the level of the upper edge of the upstanding cap portion when the corner cap member is snapped into place over the second retainer part adjacent to and abutting the edge of the upstanding cap portion, so that the joint between them is less visible from above.
