This Pro Value Mission Columns split column is a decorative applied column sized for bar-height islands and raised counters. At 42 inches tall with a 5-inch face, it is made to finish the exposed end of an island or peninsula that sits above standard counter height.
Standard counter height runs around 36 inches. A raised bar or elevated island counter typically runs at 42 inches, and that extra 6 inches is the reason this column exists as a separate item from its 36-inch sibling. If the island has a raised overhang where guests sit, the column at the end of the base needs to reach that height to close the visual line. A 36-inch column cut short under a 42-inch counter leaves a gap; this one meets it. The 5-inch face width also suits the proportions of a taller run, giving the column enough presence to read against a wider, taller panel rather than looking undersized.
The depth here is 2-1/2 inches against a 5-inch face, which identifies this as a split or applied section. It presents a 5-inch column face to the room and projects 2-1/2 inches from the panel it is fastened to. On a walkway around an island, that projection is the number that matters for clearance. It is not a full round or square column standing on its own; it is applied trim that reads as one. The Mission design style in this program tends toward chamfered and squared profiles rather than the turned or fluted forms in the Traditional and Acanthus programs, which keeps the look clean at bar height without competing with more ornate cabinetry details.
The column ships as unfinished alder. Alder is a common cabinetry wood that accepts stain and finish evenly, which is why it appears alongside cherry and maple in this program: the column can be finished to sit next to the cabinetry it is applied to rather than needing to be sourced as a painted or pre-stained piece. Because finish is applied after installation, the column goes in raw and is finished in the same pass as the surrounding woodwork.
This column suits cabinetmakers, shop builders, and contractors finishing a raised-bar island, a peninsula with an elevated counter, or a seating overhang where the base panel needs a vertical anchor at the end. It is a decorative applied piece and does not carry structural load. At 42 inches, it is the right reach for bar height without modification.
42 inches corresponds to standard raised-bar and elevated counter height. If the island or peninsula has a raised section where guests sit or stand, the base column needs to match that run. The 36-inch version in this program suits standard counter height.
2-1/2 inches. That is the depth of the split section, and the number to check against walkway clearance around the island.
No. It is a decorative applied column. It carries no load rating and should not be used as a structural post or in place of engineered support.
It ships unfinished, so it can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry on site.
Choose this column when the island or peninsula runs at raised-bar height and the exposed end needs a column that reaches it without cutting or stacking.
