This Pro Value Mission Columns split column brings a chamfered Mission profile to the exposed end of a kitchen island or peninsula, in unfinished alder.
A kitchen island with a bare plywood end is the most common job this column is ordered for. The chamfered corners and squared profile read as Mission or Craftsman without needing applied molding or additional trim work, and the split-section format means the column can be glued or fastened directly to the cabinet end panel rather than built around an actual post. It also works at the return of a peninsula, at the visible end of a run of base cabinetry, or at either side of an appliance panel where a vertical accent finishes the transition.
At 36 inches, this column aligns with a standard counter height installation, which is the common application for this size in an island setting. The finished height of the overall counter assembly depends on the base and top, which the column does not determine on its own.
The face width is 3-1/2 inches and the depth is 1-3/4 inches. That depth-to-width relationship is what defines this as a split section rather than a full column. It presents a 3-1/2 inch column face against the panel while projecting only 1-3/4 inches into the room. On a busy kitchen island, where every inch of walkway matters, that difference counts. A full column at 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches would occupy more than twice the floor footprint at the corner, and it would require the base framing to accommodate it. This piece does not. The alder stock arrives unfinished, so the site finish can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry in whichever stain or paint system the shop is running.
Cabinet shops building or retrofitting Mission-style kitchens will find this column a practical way to carry the style through to the island without custom milling. The chamfered detail is already worked into the piece, so the shop's time goes into fitting and finishing rather than profiling. Designers specifying a Craftsman or Mission kitchen can use this column to anchor the vertical plane at an island end and order the matching Mission pieces in the same program for consistency. Because it is alder, it is a natural companion to alder door and drawer programs. This is a decorative applied column with no structural load rating; it is not a substitute for a post or a bearing member.
The depth. At 1-3/4 inches deep against a 3-1/2 inch face width, the piece is a partial section designed to be applied to a flat panel, not a full square or round column that stands on its own.
Unfinished alder. It is intended to be stained or painted on-site to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry.
Yes. This column is symmetrical and non-handed, so the same piece works on either end of an island or peninsula.
No. This is a decorative applied column. It is not rated for structural load and is not a replacement for a bearing post.
Alder takes stain evenly and works well alongside other alder programs, but an exact match depends on the stain, the finish system, and the individual boards. Order a sample or test finish before committing to a full run.
Choose this column to anchor the exposed end of a Mission-style island with a chamfered vertical profile that is already milled and waiting for your finish system.
