This Pro Value Metro island column is a full-section decorative wood column for island ends, cabinet panels, and peninsula returns where a solid vertical presence is the goal.
When width and depth are equal at 3 inches by 3 inches, the column presents the same face in both directions. That matters at a corner or a peninsula return, where the end of the cabinet is visible from two sides and a split section would read as flat trim from one of them. A full section turns the corner the same way in every direction and holds its form whether it is seen straight on, from an angle, or from the side of the room. The Metro program keeps the profile clean and unornamented, which keeps it from competing with other detailing on the piece.
Alder is a light, close-grained hardwood that takes stain evenly across its face, which makes it a common choice for cabinetry programs where the column needs to finish consistently with the surrounding doors and drawer fronts. The piece arrives unfinished, so the finish is applied on site alongside the rest of the casework rather than being matched after the fact. Cherry and maple are available in the same Metro program for shops building in those species.
A 36 inch column suits a standard counter-height island or a base cabinet run with an exposed end. It works at the corner of a peninsula where the end panel is seen from the room, at the termination of a run of cabinetry that stops in open space, or as a vertical element that anchors a bar-style overhang. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
Full section. Width and depth are both 3 inches, so it presents the same face on every side rather than flattening against a panel like a split piece would.
Yes. Because the section is square at 3 by 3 inches, both faces read identically, which is the right call at an exposed corner or a peninsula end.
No. This is decorative woodwork. It does not carry load and is not a substitute for a structural post.
Unfinished alder, ready for staining or painting on site.
Choose this column when the end of an island or cabinet run is exposed on more than one side and a split section would give away the trick.
