This Pro Value Mission Columns decorative wood column is a full-section applied column in alder, sized for the raised-bar height that defines a kitchen island or peninsula at its entertaining scale.
The raised-bar height is the application that calls for a 42-inch column. At a kitchen island or peninsula where one side steps up to bar height, the column at that end needs to run to bar height as well, or the proportions fall apart. That is the common application for this piece. A 36-inch column serves standard counter height; this one is for the raised side. Both heights correspond to common building practice, not to a specification in this catalog, and finished height depends on the countertop and base configuration on the job.
At 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep, this is a full-square section, not a split or half-section. It presents the same face in both directions, which makes it suited to a corner position or a freestanding-end application where two faces are visible rather than one. Alder is the species, supplied unfinished. It accepts stain evenly, and it is available alongside cherry and maple in the Mission Columns program, so the column can be ordered to match the species of the surrounding cabinetry rather than finished to approximate it.
This column is the right choice for a raised-bar island end, a peninsula corner that turns into a room, or a tall cabinet panel where the run reaches bar height. The Mission design style keeps it in an architectural register compatible with Craftsman-influenced kitchens and furniture-style cabinetry. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
42 inches corresponds to standard raised-bar height, which is the common use for this piece. Finished height depends on your countertop and base, so verify the dimension against your specific build before ordering.
Full section. At 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep it is a square section, not a half-section applied to a panel. It can be positioned at a corner where two faces show.
No. It is a decorative wood column with no stated load rating. It should not be used in place of a structural post.
Cherry and maple appear alongside alder in the same program. Each is a separate item.
Choose this alder Mission column when the raised side of your island or peninsula needs a vertical element that holds its proportions all the way to bar height.
