This Pro Value Metro island column is a decorative full-section wood column for kitchen islands, peninsula ends, and cabinet runs that need a strong vertical presence at counter height.
At 5 inches by 5 inches, this column reads differently than the narrow split sections in the same Metro program. A split section presents a column face from the front while staying close to the panel behind it. This one stands on its own: it has the same dimension in both directions, which means it works at a freestanding island corner, at the transition between a cabinet run and an open kitchen, or anywhere the column will be seen from two sides rather than one. The full section also anchors the visual weight of a larger island in a way a thinner applied piece cannot.
The species is cherry, supplied unfinished. Cherry is a fine-grained hardwood with a warm tone that deepens over time, and it is offered alongside maple and alder in the Metro Columns program so a builder can match the column's species to the surrounding cabinetry rather than trying to stain a different wood to imitate it. No finish is applied at the factory. Finishing happens on site, alongside the rest of the millwork, which is the standard practice for unfinished trim in a custom cabinetry program.
This column suits cabinet shops and contractors building or retrofitting a kitchen island with a finished end or corner. At 36 inches it corresponds to standard counter height, which covers the majority of residential island applications. Designers specifying a furniture-scale column presence at an island end will find the 5 by 5 section more substantial than the split options in the same program. This is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
Full. Both dimensions are 5 inches, so it has equal depth and width and can be seen from two sides.
No. It is a decorative column and is not rated for structural or load-bearing use.
Because the island cabinetry is cherry. Matching species is more reliable than cross-species staining when the pieces will sit side by side.
The column is supplied at 36 inches. Any field trimming is a site decision and not addressed in the product data.
Choose this column when the application calls for a full square section at counter height, in cherry, ready to finish alongside the surrounding cabinetry.
