1. A unitary structure constructed of a plurality of separable sections, said structure comprising:

  • a main body and at least one separable section;

    the main body and each of said at least one separable section comprising a core of a wood based product, the main body and each section having applied thereon a decorative surface;

    said decorative surface being one selected from the group consisting of laminate, foil, a print and a wood veneer;

    wherein separation of said at least one separable section from the main body results in at least the separated section having the decorative surface and the remainder of said structure is transformed into a molding also having the decorative surface thereon;

    wherein separation of all of the separable sections transforms the remainder into a T-molding;

    wherein removal of a first separable section transforms the structure into one selected from a group consisting of a hard surface reducer and an end molding; and

    the removal of a second separable section transforms the molding into said T-molding;

    wherein said first separable section and said second separable section are positioned on opposite ends of the T-molding;

    wherein the first and second separable sections are at predetermined locations underneath a first and a second members of the T-molding and on the same side as a foot of the T-molding.
