Alpine bar top support is a Federal Brace workstation and countertop bracket that creates an elevated counter or bar over a subcounter. This bracket installs on the base cabinet to raise a bar top, so you gain a higher prep or serving surface without changing the main cabinet layout. The Alpine model is sized at 12 x 20 inches, giving a compact footprint that still projects far enough to hold a functional bar area. It is designed to support a counter between 14 and 20 inches deep, which covers common bar overhangs used in kitchen and workstation layouts. The black finish provides a clean, finished look that blends with many cabinet and appliance combinations. As fine hardware that enhances any kitchen, this support helps turn a standard run of cabinets into a practical bar top.
This Alpine counter support installs directly to the base cabinet, so the load from the elevated bar transfers through the cabinet structure. Three 0.26 inch straight holes are provided in the bracket, giving defined mounting points for fasteners sized to those openings. That hole pattern simplifies drilling and layout on cabinet sides or structural members. The design works for installation at the time of new construction or as a later retrofit, which helps on projects where the bar concept is added after initial cabinet planning. Fasteners are not provided, so selection of appropriate fixing methods can match the cabinet material and job requirements.
The Alpine elevated counter support is intended for creating a raised bar or counter over a subcounter, making it useful in eat-in kitchens and similar spaces. By mounting on the base cabinet, the bracket supports a 14 to 20 inch deep counter that can function as a serving ledge or casual seating area. Its 12 x 20 inch size defines a stable support arm that reaches under typical bar depths while keeping the vertical leg close to the cabinet face. In kitchen renovations, this design allows an elevated counter to be added to existing cabinets during a remodel or retrofit. In new construction, the same bracket helps plan an integrated bar area without special framing beyond the cabinet run.
The Alpine elevated counter support uses 0.25 inch material thickness, so the steel section is substantial enough to carry rated loads without excessive flex when properly installed. Each bracket has a carry capacity of 500 pounds, which provides a clear load reference when planning bracket spacing under a stone, wood, or composite counter. The three 0.26 inch straight holes standardize how the bracket attaches to cabinet structure, reducing layout guesswork from one installation to the next. Because the steel is unfinished beneath the black finish statement and described as unfinished steel that should be painted to avoid corrosion, the product text underscores the importance of a protective coating in service. That finish guidance supports long-term performance in typical indoor kitchen environments where moisture and cleaning can reach the bracket. The elevated design holds the counter or bar over a subcounter, creating the vertical separation visually associated with bar-height tops while relying on the same cabinet footprint for support.
