This Pro Value Metro Cam Bar Column is a decorative wood column designed for island ends, peninsula panels, and raised cabinet runs where a full-section vertical accent is needed at bar height.
Most island columns in this program run 36 inches, which suits a standard counter. This one runs 42 inches, which is the height that matches a raised bar top or a taller island counter. Where a seating overhang steps up from the prep surface, or where the entire island is built to bar height, the 36 inch column falls short and this one fits. That is the practical reason to specify by height before specifying by anything else: it either lines up with the counter plane or it does not.
The 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch square section gives this column a fuller presence than a split or applied piece. It does not project a slim face from a panel; it presents four sides and reads as a column in the round, which changes how it reads at the end of a bar run or at an open corner of a raised peninsula.
The column is maple, supplied unfinished. Maple holds a clean grain with consistent density, which makes it one of the more stable species for a piece that will be finished to match surrounding cabinetry. Because it arrives unfinished, the stain or topcoat is applied in the shop or on site, which gives the cabinet maker control over how closely the column reads against the adjacent door and drawer fronts. Maple is also available in the other species in the Metro Columns program, so the choice of species can follow the cabinetry program rather than requiring a cross-species finish match.
Cabinet shops building raised-bar islands specify this column where the counter plane calls for 42 inches and where the design calls for a full square section rather than an applied face. Designers working with contemporary or transitional kitchen programs use the Metro style for its straight, unornamented lines. Contractors finishing a raised bar or a butler's pantry counter run reach for it when the exposed end needs a vertical accent that does not look like trim.
This is a decorative column. It is an applied wood accent and carries no structural load rating. It is not a substitute for a structural post.
Full section. At 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches it is a square column rather than a half-section applied to a flat panel.
42 inches corresponds to standard raised-bar height. The 36 inch version suits a standard counter. The right choice depends on the counter height the column is running alongside.
Unfinished maple. It is finished on site to match the surrounding cabinetry program.
No. It is a decorative wood column with no stated load rating and is not a structural post.
Choose this maple Metro column when the counter runs at bar height and the exposed end calls for a full-section vertical accent rather than a slim applied face.
