This Pro Value Metro split column is a decorative applied column designed for the exposed ends of bar-height islands, raised counters, and tall cabinet panels. At 42 inches, it corresponds to the raised-bar height common in open-plan kitchens and entertainment spaces, and its 1-1/2 inch depth keeps it firmly in split-column territory.
The 42 inch dimension is what separates this column from the standard counter-height version in the same Metro program. Raised bars, tall islands, and peninsula ends with seating on one side typically run 42 inches to the top of the counter, and a column that lands at that height reads as intentional rather than sized-up from stock. The 3 inch face presents a clear vertical break at the island end, and the 1-1/2 inch depth means the column sits against the panel without pushing into the walking path. This is trim-depth applied work, not a post.
The Metro Columns program is available in alder, cherry, and maple, and the species choice is usually driven by whatever the surrounding cabinetry is built from. Alder is a common species in production cabinetry because it accepts stain consistently, and it appears alongside cherry and maple here so the column can be spec'd to match the cabinet box rather than finished to approximate it. The piece arrives unfinished, which means the shop or installer controls the final color.
This column suits any project where a bar-height island or raised cabinet run has an exposed vertical end that needs a finished architectural detail. It works equally well in a new-construction kitchen being trimmed out and in a remodel where an existing island is gaining a decorative element. Because the depth is shallow, it does not require the framing underneath to be modified. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
The depth. At 1-1/2 inches deep against a 3 inch face width, this is a half-section that applies flat to a panel surface rather than standing as a freestanding round or square post.
42 inches corresponds to raised-bar or tall-counter height. The 36 inch version in the Metro program suits standard counter height. Order based on the finished height of the island or cabinet run the column is finishing.
No. It is a decorative applied piece. It does not carry load and is not a substitute for a structural post.
Unfinished. The stain, paint, or clear coat is applied after installation, on site.
Choose this column when the project calls for a bar-height island or raised counter end that deserves an architectural finish, without giving up depth or walkway clearance.
