        "text": "Cove molding is most commonly made from MDF (medium-density fiberboard), pine, or poplar. MDF is a cost-effective option that paints well, offering a smooth finish. Pine is a natural wood with a visible grain, suitable for staining or painting. Poplar is a hardwood known for its durability and smooth texture, making it an excellent choice for a high-quality painted finish. When choosing, consider your budget, the desired final look, and the room's usage, as different materials offer varying levels of impact resistance.",
