This Pro Value Mission Columns chamfered bar column is a decorative applied column for kitchen islands, bar-height peninsulas, and cabinet runs where 42 inches puts the column at raised-counter level.
Most island columns in this catalog stand 36 inches, which corresponds to standard counter height. This one is 42 inches, the height that suits a raised bar top or an elevated counter where guests sit across from the kitchen rather than leaning over it. That 6 inch difference matters at the end of a peninsula or a seating island, where the column has to track the finished counter surface above it. At standard counter height, a 42 inch column would read tall. At bar height, it reads right.
The 3 by 3 inch section means this is a fuller piece, not a shallow split applied to a panel face. At equal width and depth it reads as a standalone column form rather than a trim applique, which suits the Mission program's preference for honest, three-dimensional joinery.
The chamfered corners are what separates a Mission bar column from a plain square post in this program. Rather than a sharp arris or a rounded edge, the chamfer cuts each corner back at a clean angle, which catches light differently along the column's height and gives the piece a faceted quality without adding carved ornament. It is characteristic of the Mission and Arts and Crafts vocabulary, where the structural member itself is the decoration.
The species is cherry. It is supplied unfinished, which is standard across this segment, so it finishes alongside the cabinetry it stands next to rather than arriving with a manufacturer's stain applied. Cherry is offered here alongside alder and maple in the same program, and choosing the species that matches the surrounding cabinet box is how the column reads as part of the installation rather than an addition to it. No stain result or color match to existing material can be guaranteed; wood of the same species varies with growth conditions and finishing conditions.
Cabinet shops building seating islands with a raised bar section reach for this column when the exposed end needs to carry the Mission or transitional-Arts-and-Crafts character of the door program. Designers specifying a furniture-grade island for a kitchen with shaker or craftsman cabinetry will find the chamfer detail consistent with that vocabulary. Contractors finishing a bar-height peninsula where the end panel is visible from the dining area use it to close the run cleanly at the correct height. This is a decorative applied column and does not carry structural load.
Full section. Width and depth are both 3 inches, so it is a square column rather than a half-section applied flat to a panel.
42 inches corresponds to a raised bar or elevated counter height. The 36 inch version in this program suits standard counter height. Order based on the finished counter height the column will sit under.
No. It is a decorative wood column. It carries no rated load and is not a structural post.
It arrives as bare cherry wood, ready for stain, paint, or a clear coat applied on site. Finishing it alongside the cabinet doors and boxes is the most reliable way to get a consistent result across the installation.
The Mission Columns program offers this column in cherry, maple, and alder. Each is a separate item.
Choose this column when the exposed end of a raised island or bar peninsula needs a Mission-style anchor that finishes at the right height and matches the wood species in the surrounding cabinetry.
