Metro cam bar column defines this 42 x 3 x 3 wood component as a shaped column intended for decorative use in woodworking and cabinetry projects. Its classification under Decorative Hardware & Moldings and Columns places it in the group of parts used to build out visible structural details rather than hidden framing. The 42 inch length creates a vertical element tall enough for many bar fronts, cabinet ends, or similar millwork layouts where a substantial but manageable height is needed. The 3 inch by 3 inch cross-section establishes a square profile that reads as a solid post, giving a consistent visual mass along its length. Being identified specifically as a Metro Bar Column links its geometry and styling to bar or counter applications where repeated posts create a uniform appearance. This configuration gives shop teams a clearly defined component to integrate into layout drawings and cut lists.
The 42 inch x 3 inch x 3 inch size gives installers a known, repeatable dimension when laying out bar fronts, island corners, or cabinet ends, so layout marks and cut sheets can reference a single fixed length. The square 3 inch by 3 inch profile simplifies alignment against straight cabinet edges or flat panel faces, as each side presents a consistent surface for joinery or decorative placement. Its role within the Decorative Hardware & Moldings Columns class ties it to visible face applications, so carpenters can reserve it for exposed positions where the column becomes part of the finished design. The unfinished wood construction allows the column to be integrated before or after finishing, depending on shop workflow and finishing sequence.
The 42 inch length positions this Pro Value Series column for use in bar fronts, counter supports, or tall cabinet end treatments where a moderately tall vertical element is required. As a member of the Columns category within Decorative Hardware & Moldings, it is intended for use as a visible component that contributes to the finished look of millwork assemblies, not as structural framing. The alder material aligns with projects that already specify alder doors, face frames, or moldings, helping maintain a unified wood species across the entire installation. Its 3 inch by 3 inch square footprint allows designers to repeat the column along a run at regular centers, creating consistent spacing between panels or between decorative elements across a bar or cabinet elevation.
The defined 42 x 3 x 3 dimension gives drafters and bench crews a stable reference when building shop drawings, so elevations and cut lists can standardize on one column size rather than adjusting for variable parts. The square cross-section simplifies orientation during installation, since any face can align to the cabinet front or panel edge without changing the visual profile. Being made of unfinished wood means finishing teams can apply stains, paints, or clear topcoats in line with the shop's standard alder finishing schedule, promoting color and sheen consistency with other alder components. The identification as a Metro Cam Bar Column and Pro Value Series column provides clear part naming for ordering and inventory, so replacement or repeat-job planning can reference the same labeled component each time.
The 42 x 3 x 3 wood column measures 42 inches in length with a 3 inch by 3 inch square cross-section, giving a tall, compact profile for decorative vertical elements.
The Metro cam bar column is made of alder unfinished wood, allowing finishing teams to stain or paint it to coordinate with other alder casework components.

The unfinished wood description means the alder surface is supplied without stain or paint, so shops can apply their standard finishes to match surrounding work.
The 3 inch by 3 inch profile provides a compact, square footprint, simplifying alignment along cabinet fronts or panels and helping keep spacing consistent across elevations.
This specific column is identified by the manufacturer part number SZDW11046AL and the description CLM10040AL Metro Bar Column 3 Alder, aiding precise reordering.
The alder decorative column described as CLM10040AL Metro Bar Column 3 Alder ties directly into projects that already specify alder components, supporting visual continuity across cabinets or bar fronts. Its 42 inch x 3 inch x 3 inch dimensions supply a fixed module that designers and installers can repeat along a run for predictable spacing and consistent sightlines. As part of the Pro Value Series, it slots logically into organized hardware and molding selections, helping shops standardize on a single column profile for repeat jobs. For alder-based millwork needing a defined vertical element, this Metro cam bar column provides a clearly specified option ready to integrate into shop drawings and field layouts.
