This Pro Value Metro island split column brings architectural detail to exposed cabinet ends, peninsula returns, and island panels. At 36 inches tall and milled from maple, it delivers a substantial 5-inch column face while sitting only 2-1/2 inches off the surface it applies to.
Maple's tight, consistent grain is part of why it ends up in cabinet programs that call for a clean, formal surface. Here, that grain runs the full 36 inches of a 5-inch-wide face, so the column reads as a substantial architectural element rather than a trim strip. The wider face is the right call at the end of a full-depth island, where a narrower column can look undersized against the cabinet's mass. At the same time, the 2-1/2-inch depth keeps the projection manageable. It applies flat to the panel, adds 2-1/2 inches to the island's footprint in the walkway, and presents a full column face to the room.
Maple arrives here as it comes off the mill, with no applied finish. That is the expected state for this type of millwork, because the finish is applied on site once the column is positioned and the surrounding cabinetry and countertop are in place. Maple's low figure and even pore structure make it one of the most consistent species for a painted finish, though it also accepts a clear coat or a light stain where a natural wood look is the goal. It is offered alongside cherry and alder in the same Metro program, so the column can match the species of the surrounding cabinet doors rather than being finished to simulate them.
The 36-inch height corresponds to standard counter height, which is the common application for this column in a kitchen island or base cabinet run. It suits an exposed island end where the cabinetry meets open floor space, a peninsula return, or any vertical cabinet face that needs a defined edge. Designers specifying for a transitional or contemporary kitchen will find the Metro program's clean profile sits well with flat or shaker door styles. Cabinet shops building islands with finished ends can order directly in the species that matches the door program and finish on site with the rest of the build. This is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
The face width is the visible column dimension. A 5-inch face reads as a more substantial architectural element and suits full-depth islands and wide cabinet ends better than a 3-inch column would. The depth stays at 2-1/2 inches regardless, so the projection into the walkway is the same.
A split section. It measures 5 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep, designed to apply flat against a panel rather than stand free.
No. It is a decorative applied column with no load rating and is not a structural support.
Unfinished maple. Staining, painting, or clear coating is done on site after installation.
Yes. The Metro Columns program also includes cherry and alder variants in this profile.
Choose this column when a full-depth island or wide cabinet end calls for more than a trim strip at the corner, and order in maple to match the door program it finishes.
