This Pro Value Metro column is a decorative wood column for kitchen islands, bar-height peninsulas, and cabinet runs built to a raised counter.
Most decorative columns in this program run 36 inches, which suits a standard counter. This one runs 42 inches, the height that corresponds to a raised bar or elevated island deck. That distinction narrows the field considerably: if the surface being finished is a breakfast bar, a raised peninsula, or a high-low island where the upper deck sits at bar height, this is the column that reads correctly when the countertop lands. At 36 inches it would be visually short and would put the top of the column behind the counter edge rather than at it.
At 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep, this column carries a square, fuller section rather than a shallow applied profile. That depth means it stands as a genuine visual mass at the end of a panel rather than a thin face piece, which suits open-plan kitchens and rooms where the island end is visible from multiple angles. The Metro design style keeps the profile clean and rectangular, without the turning or fluting of traditional programs, so it reads in contemporary and transitional settings without being conspicuous.
The column is maple, supplied unfinished. Maple is a close-grained, consistent hardwood that takes paint and stain evenly, which is one reason it appears widely in both painted and stained cabinetry programs. Ordering the column in the same species as the surrounding cabinetry gives the finisher the best chance of a coherent result, and maple's tight grain means it holds fine detail well in the Metro profile's squared edges. The unfinished state gives the finisher full control over the surface, whether that is paint, a clear coat, or a stain matched to the run.
This column suits cabinet shops and contractors building or installing bar-height islands, elevated peninsula returns, or raised-counter cabinetry in kitchens where the exposed column end needs to read as furniture rather than as a structural element. Designers specifying a contemporary or transitional kitchen with a bar section will find the Metro profile's clean lines appropriate across a wide range of door styles. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
42 inches corresponds to a raised bar or high-counter height. The 36-inch version is for standard counter-height applications. Using the wrong height puts the column top in the wrong relationship to the finished surface.
At 5 inches deep and 5 inches wide, it is a fuller square section rather than a shallow split profile. It occupies real depth at the panel end.
No. It is a decorative column applied to a cabinet end or panel and carries no load rating.
It is supplied unfinished maple, ready for paint, stain, or a clear coat applied on site.
Choose this column when the island or peninsula is built to raised-bar height and the exposed end needs a full-section decorative column in maple to finish it properly.
