This Pro Value Metro bar column is a decorative solid cherry wood column designed for bar-height islands, raised counters, and cabinet ends where a 42-inch vertical member is needed.
A 36-inch column is the standard counter-height answer. This one is the raised-bar answer. At 42 inches it corresponds to the elevated counter height common on kitchen islands with a seating overhang, breakfast bars, and pass-through counters where stools rather than chairs are used. The height is the reason you specify this variant rather than the shorter one, and it is worth confirming against the finished counter height before ordering, since the column height and the counter thickness together determine the final look at the base of the overhang.
With width and depth both reading 3 inches, this is a square section rather than a split or applied sliver. That proportion gives it a presence at the end of an island or a peninsula that a shallow split section does not carry. Cherry is the species, arriving unfinished, which makes it a natural fit alongside cabinetry programs built from the same wood. The Metro design program runs toward clean, linear geometry, so the column reads as a contemporary or transitional accent rather than a traditional turned one.
This column works at the exposed end of a bar-height island, at the corner of a raised peninsula, or at the base of a pass-through opening where a vertical break between counter heights is needed. Designers specifying a furniture-quality finish at the island end will want to coordinate their finishing schedule, since the column arrives unfinished. Cabinet shops working on a raised-bar kitchen with cherry boxes have a direct species match here without a laminating step. It is a decorative applied piece with no structural function.
42 inches corresponds to standard raised-bar or counter height, so yes, this is the bar-height variant. The 36-inch version suits a standard counter height. Confirm against your finished counter height, since the countertop thickness sits on top of this measurement.
Both width and depth measure 3 inches, making this a square section. It is not a shallow split piece.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It carries no load rating and is not a structural post. Structural support for a countertop overhang requires engineered framing.
It arrives as raw, unfinished cherry. Cherry is a fine-grained, moderately dense hardwood that stains and finishes predictably. The final appearance depends entirely on the finish system applied.
Order this column to complete the end of a bar-height island or elevated counter in cherry, where the extra 6 inches of height over a standard column is exactly what the application calls for.
