Why not place a square profile 22*22mm on its edge and skip the 45-degree miter, cutting 90 instead with profiled or straight standing corners, perhaps in a color that contrasts with the laminate.
Oh, there's a lot of tips and help here. Thank you for that!
KOW. It must be flawless! It's not so fun when you're crawling around on the floor drunk and notice that all the bloody baseboards have chips. That can kill any party
I'm now torn about whether I should miter cut. Not that I think anyone will be sitting with shoes at the kitchen island, but even without shoes, the corner could get damaged. I agree that it seems to be a very sensitive area.
However, I'm mostly worried now that the miter cut will definitely gape. Since the baseboard is just attached with baseboard brackets that you press into the baseboard legs. And that's worse than a chip.
Some form of trim might be the way to go...
Even though I'm not so keen on having it in another color. The kitchen supplier doesn't seem to have trim in that lamination.
The baseboard is laminated on all sides except on the short ends. I'm considering if I could remove the lamination on the edges of my scrap piece and glue it onto the short ends.
And go for 90-degree corners instead.

The base has lamination on all sides except for the short ends. I'm thinking about whether I could peel off the lamination on the edges of my scrap piece and glue it onto the short ends.
And go for 90-degree corners instead.
Isn't it possible that they sell laminate pieces that can be heated on?
Even IKEA has those.
Ah sorry forgot to follow up. I used the sacrificial trick and it turned out really well. There was a lot of measuring and fiddling to get it completely without gaps. But then under the plastic in the boxes, there was of course a plinth with lamination all around So I just had to put it up after I cut away the miters... But the sacrificial trick was an incredibly good tip to avoid chipping! So thanks for that.
