This Pro Value Metro column is a decorative full-section column for island ends, peninsula returns, and exposed cabinet panels, supplied in cherry at the standard 36 inch counter height.
Width and depth are both 3 inches on this column, which puts it in a different category from the split sections in the same program. A split section runs 1-1/2 inches deep and reads as a column face applied to a panel. This one reads as a complete column: the depth matches the face, so it presents the same dimension in both directions and can stand proud of the end panel rather than sitting flush against it. That matters at an island corner or a peninsula end where both the face and the return are visible. The extra depth requires planning into the overall footprint of the island or the run, but it delivers a profile that holds its own in the space rather than appearing appliqued.
Cherry is a closed-grain hardwood that develops a warm amber patina as it ages and accepts stain with good consistency. It is one of the three species in the Metro Columns program alongside alder and maple, and the reason a cabinet shop or a homeowner specifies cherry here is almost always that the surrounding cabinetry is also cherry. Ordering the column in the same species keeps the grain character and the finishing behavior in the same range, which matters when the column and the cabinet doors will be finished in the same shop run. The piece is supplied unfinished, so the final stain, tone, and sheen are set on site.
The 36 inch height corresponds to standard counter height, which makes this column the natural choice for a kitchen island base, a lower peninsula cabinet end, or a bar-height transition where the lower run is visible. Cabinet shops building custom or semi-custom islands specify it at the exposed ends of a run where a square column profile is called for. Designers working in a Metro or contemporary idiom use it to give a kitchen island a furniture-like termination without introducing a turned or carved profile. It is a decorative column and carries no load rating.
A full section. Width and depth are both 3 inches, so the column presents the same dimension in both directions rather than sitting flat against a panel.
No. This is a decorative wood column with no rated capacity. It is applied trim, not a structural post.
Species selection is driven almost entirely by what the surrounding cabinetry is built from. Cherry is chosen when the cabinet program is cherry, so the grain character and finishing behavior stay consistent across the job.
No, it is unfinished. Stain, sealer, and topcoat are applied after installation.
Choose this cherry Metro column when the exposed end of an island or a cabinet run calls for a full square profile, finished to match the cabinetry it stands beside.
