This Pro Value Metro Cam Bar Column is a decorative wood column for the exposed end of a kitchen island, bar peninsula, or tall cabinet run built to raised-bar height.
Most island column programs offer 36 inches and 42 inches. The 36 inch column suits a standard counter, and the 42 inch suits a raised bar top or a taller counter run. If the island or peninsula being finished is built to bar height, the column needs to match that run, and this one does. The equal width and depth, each at 3 inches, give a square profile that reads as a complete section rather than a trim piece applied flat to a panel.
The piece is alder, unfinished. Alder holds a steady place in cabinetry because it accepts stain consistently and works cleanly, which makes it practical for a finish applied after installation. The Metro Columns program runs across cherry, maple, and alder, so the species can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry rather than stained to approximate it. The Metro design style is the common thread across the program, giving a clean architectural line without heavy ornament.
This column is the right choice when the height of the finished surface is 42 inches and the exposed end or corner needs a vertical element that reads as more than edge banding or a plain panel. It suits kitchen islands with a raised eating bar, bar room or wet bar peninsulas, and tall accent cabinet runs where the end is visible. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
At 3 inches wide and 3 inches deep, it is a fuller square section, not a shallow half-section. A split column would have a depth well below its width.
It corresponds to raised-bar height. For a standard counter, the 36 inch version in the same program is the more common fit.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It is not rated for structural or load-bearing use.
Unfinished alder. Staining or painting is done on site after installation.
When the countertop is at bar height and the end panel needs a finished vertical element, this 42 inch Metro alder column delivers the profile without requiring a structural post behind it.
