This Pro Value Metro split column is a decorative applied column for island ends, peninsula returns, and cabinet panels where a wider column face is the right proportion for the run.
A 5 inch face width occupies more of an island end than the narrower Metro sections do, which suits longer runs and wider panels where a slender column would look undersized against the overall mass of the cabinetry. At the corner of a large island or at the end of a run that carries deep upper cabinets, the wider column face holds its own visually. The 2-1/2 inch depth keeps it in applied-section territory: it presents a full 5 inch column face while projecting only 2-1/2 inches from the panel it sits against, so it does not narrow the walkway around the island the way a full-section column would. This is a decorative piece and carries no structural load.
Cherry is a fine-grained hardwood with a naturally warm tone that deepens over time. Supplied unfinished, this column is ready to receive whatever finish system the surrounding cabinetry uses, whether that is a clear coat, a stain, or a painted finish. Because the species matches what the cabinetry programs in this catalog are built from, the column can be finished alongside the cabinet doors and panels rather than finished separately to approximate a match. No stain result or color match to existing work is guaranteed; results depend on the finish system and the specific piece of wood.
Cabinet shops building or refitting a cherry kitchen island will find this the natural pairing where the island's exposed end calls for a column with more face than the narrower Metro sections provide. Designers specifying a furniture-style island in a traditional or transitional kitchen can use the wider column to anchor the end visually. At 36 inches it lines up with standard counter height, which is the common application. It is not a structural post and is not suitable for load-bearing use.
Face width determines how the column reads against the cabinet it is applied to. A 5 inch face width suits a wider island end or a heavier panel proportion; narrower Metro sections suit lighter or smaller applications. The depth stays consistent within the program, so the projection from the panel does not change as you move between widths.
An applied section. At 2-1/2 inches deep and 5 inches wide, it lays flat against a panel rather than standing as a freestanding column.
Yes. It is supplied unfinished cherry, so it can receive a painted finish. For a painted application, cherry's fine grain takes paint smoothly, though cherry is more commonly chosen for stained or clear-finished work.
36 inches is the column's height as supplied. Whether it aligns with the finished counter height depends on the countertop thickness and base construction in your specific project.
Choose this column when the panel it will finish calls for a broader presence, and order in cherry to finish alongside the cabinetry it sits against.
