This Pro Value Metro Cam Bar split column is a decorative applied column sized for raised-bar and tall cabinet runs, milled in cherry and supplied unfinished.
At 42 inches tall, this column is sized for the raised end of a kitchen island, a bar-height peninsula, or a tall cabinet panel where the standard 36 inch counter-height column falls short. The extra 6 inches is the difference between a column that ends cleanly at the bar surface and one that reads as a workaround. Designers and cabinet shops building raised seating areas or elevated cabinet runs reach for the 42 inch specifically because the transition to the countertop or overhang happens at the right point.
The 1-3/4 inch depth is the defining number here. This is a half-section applied flat against a cabinet end panel or an island face, not a free-standing column. What the buyer sees from across the kitchen is a 3-1/2 inch column face; what occupies space in the walkway is an inch and three quarters of trim depth. That profile reads architecturally without requiring the island framing to be engineered around a full post, and without cutting into clearance around a seating overhang. The piece is decorative and carries no structural load.
Cherry is one of three species offered in this Metro column program alongside maple and alder. It is the natural choice when the surrounding cabinetry is cherry, because the column can be finished in-shop with the same stain and topcoat sequence applied to the doors and drawer fronts, producing a result that is continuous rather than coordinated. The Metro profile is a straight, clean-lined design without fluting or carved detail, which keeps the visual weight in the grain and figure of the wood rather than in the millwork shape. The piece arrives unfinished.
This column is the right call for cabinet shops and contractors building or refitting a raised kitchen island, a bar-height peninsula return, or a tall end panel that needs a finished vertical element. At 42 inches it suits bar seating, raised prep counters, and standing-height work surfaces. It is also used on butler's pantry runs and media cabinet columns where a taller finished panel is called for. Because it is a decorative applied piece, installation follows whatever attachment method suits the substrate and the build, and it carries no load rating.
The 36 inch column is made for standard counter height. This one is built for raised-bar height, where the surface sits higher and a shorter column would end below the top.
It applies to a flat surface. The 1-3/4 inch depth makes it a split section that fastens against a cabinet end panel or island face.
No. It is a decorative piece and is not rated for structural or load-bearing applications. Countertop support requires engineered blocking or a rated bracket.
Cherry species is what makes this column a natural match for a cherry cabinet program. Because it arrives unfinished, it can be stained and finished in-shop alongside the doors and panels.
Choose this column when the project calls for a finished vertical element at bar height, built from the same species as the surrounding cabinetry.
