        "text": "Shoe molding or quarter round is not strictly required, but it is often recommended when bathroom tile floors are uneven. While a baseboard provides a crisp transition up the wall, rigid trim boards cannot always bend to match subtle dips in handmade or large-format floor tiles. Adding flexible shoe molding seals those floor-level gaps neatly. The tradeoff is visual: some homeowners prefer a minimalist, single-board modern look without extra layers. If your tile installation is completely level, a single flat baseboard bedded in sealant may be sufficient without adding shoe molding.",
