This Pro Value Metro Cam Bar split column is a decorative applied column in maple, sized for the raised end of an island or a bar-height cabinet run.
The 42 inch height is the dimension that makes this column specific. Standard counter height runs at 36 inches; a raised bar or seating counter typically runs 42. A column at 36 inches leaves a gap at bar height, and a column at 42 fills the run cleanly from floor to underside of the overhang or countertop. If the application is a raised island, a peninsula with a seating overhang, or a bar cabinet, the 42 inch column is the one that lines up. The 36 inch version exists in the same Metro program for standard counter applications.
At 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-3/4 inches deep, this is a split or applied section. It presents a 3-1/2 inch column face and projects 1-3/4 inches from the panel it is fastened to. That projection is shallow enough to avoid encroaching on the walkway around an island or the knee clearance at a bar seat, while the face width reads as a full-proportioned column from the front. This column is a decorative piece. It is not a structural post, it carries no load rating, and it does not substitute for engineered support under a countertop or overhang.
Maple is a closed-grain hardwood with a fine, consistent surface that takes paint or stain evenly. In cabinetry programs it is one of the most commonly specified species, which is why it appears here alongside alder and cherry in the same Metro Column line. Ordering the column in the same species as the surrounding cabinetry gives the finisher a consistent substrate to work from rather than an adjacent piece fighting for the same stain. The column arrives unfinished, ready for whatever finish system the job calls for.
This split column suits the exposed end of a bar-height island, a raised peninsula, a entertainment or bar cabinet run, or any cabinet panel where a vertical architectural element at 42 inches closes the design. It is an applied woodwork piece for shops building or retrofitting raised cabinetry that needs a column face without the bulk of a full section. Designers specifying a transition between counter height and bar height within one island will find the 36 inch and 42 inch Metro columns carry the same face width, so both can be used in the same run.
The finished height depends on the countertop thickness and the base framing, which vary by job. The 42 inch column corresponds to the common raised-bar or seating-counter height as a starting reference, not a guaranteed fit dimension.
1-3/4 inches. That is the depth of the split section, which is what determines how far it stands proud of the cabinet end or the applied panel.
Yes. The Metro Columns program includes a 36 inch version at the same 3-1/2 inch face width, so both heights can be used in the same run if the island steps from counter to bar height.
No. This is a decorative applied column with no load rating. It is trim, not a post.
Choose this maple Metro split column for the raised-bar or seating-counter end that needs a vertical architectural finish without giving up walkway depth or structural framing space.
