This Pro Value Mission Columns decorative column is a full-section alder column for island ends, raised-bar panels, and tall cabinet runs where a 42-inch vertical member is the right fit.
The two heights in this column program are 36 inches and 42 inches, and the choice is determined by what sits above it. A 36-inch column corresponds to a standard counter height run. This one, at 42 inches, corresponds to a raised bar or tall-cabinet application: the kind of island with a raised eating surface, a peninsula built to bar height, or a wall of tall cabinetry where a shorter column would leave the vertical run unresolved. The 5-by-5-inch section means the piece reads as a full column face rather than an applied sliver, which at 42 inches of height gives the end panel a presence that matches the taller cabinet scale.
The piece is alder, supplied unfinished. Alder is widely used in cabinetry programs and takes stain evenly, which is the practical reason it appears alongside cherry and maple in this catalog. The Mission Columns series is the source for companion members at the same height and in the same tapering profile, so a designer specifying a full run of island panels can source multiple columns from one program. No finish, stain result, or color match to existing cabinetry is guaranteed by the species alone.
Cabinet shops building raised-bar islands reach for this column when the end panel needs a finished vertical that reads as furniture rather than as a box. Designers specifying tall cabinetry use it where a full-section column face, not a shallow split piece, is what the elevation drawing calls for. The 5-by-5-inch section projects into the room and the walkway in a way a 1-1/2-inch-deep split piece does not, so placement on a traffic side warrants a second look at the floor plan. This is a decorative wood column with no stated load rating; it does not carry structural load.
A full section at 5 inches by 5 inches. It is not a half or quarter section applied flat to a panel; it is a freestanding or corner-applied column with equal face dimensions on both visible sides.
The 42-inch figure is the column's own height as supplied. Any base, cap, or countertop thickness above it is separate and not accounted for in this dimension.
No. This is a decorative wood column with no load rating. It is not a structural post and should not be used to support a countertop, overhang, or any load-bearing application.
The Mission Columns program also includes cherry and maple at this height. Each species is a separate item.
When the island or cabinet run is built to bar height and the end panel needs a column that reads at full scale, this 42-inch alder Mission Tapered column is the piece to reach for.
