1. A modular aircraft floorboard riser system for assembling an aircraft floorboard riser for operatively elevating a to-be-elevated floorboard above adjacent floorboards of an aircraft floor, the modular aircraft floorboard riser system comprising:
a plurality of riser panels, wherein each riser panel of the plurality of riser panels comprises:
a first panel portion having a first-panel-portion outer edge region; and
a second panel portion slidingly coupled to the first panel portion and having a second-panel-portion outer edge region opposite the first-panel-portion outer edge region;
wherein the first-panel-portion outer edge region of each riser panel is configured to be selectively coupled to the second-panel-portion outer edge region of another riser panel; and
wherein a selection of the plurality of riser panels is configured to be operatively assembled into the aircraft floorboard riser having a polygonal shape.
