This Pro Value Metro Cam Bar split column is a decorative applied column in cherry, sized for the raised end panels of bar-height islands and elevated counter runs.
The 42-inch dimension is the detail that routes this column to a specific job. Standard counter height runs 36 inches; raised-bar and elevated seating counters run 42. Specifying the wrong height on an island end leaves a gap at the top or a stub below the overhang, both of which are visible from every seat at the bar. At 42 inches, this column fills that run cleanly. If the island runs at standard counter height, the 36-inch version in the same program is the correct pick.
At 5 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep, this is a split section applied to the face of a panel, not a freestanding post. The 5-inch face width is wider than the more common 3-inch columns in this program, which gives it more visual weight at the end of an island and suits wider end panels where a narrow column would look undersized. The 2-1/2-inch depth keeps it in trim territory: it projects 2-1/2 inches from whatever it mounts to and does not intrude into a walkway the way a full round column would. This column is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
The piece is cherry, supplied unfinished. Cherry is a consistent choice for cabinetry programs where the column needs to sit beside doors and drawer fronts built from the same species, because finishing them in the same shop under the same process is more reliable than trying to match a pre-finished column to an existing stain. No Color/Finish value is carried on this product; it arrives as raw wood ready for the finishing schedule of the surrounding cabinetry.
This column suits the exposed end panel of a kitchen island with a raised seating bar, a peninsula built to bar height, or a run of elevated cabinetry that calls for a vertical break at 42 inches. It is also used on entertainment centers and built-in bar cabinetry where bar height is the design dimension. At 5 inches wide it reads well on panels that are 18 inches or wider; on a narrow end a 3-inch column in the same program will look more proportionate. It is a decorative product for cabinet and millwork applications only.
No. It is a decorative applied column, not a structural post. It carries no load rating and should not be relied on to support a countertop overhang or any other load.
42 inches corresponds to raised-bar and elevated seating height. If the counter runs at standard height, the 36-inch version of this column in the Metro Columns program is the correct choice.
No. It is a split section, 2-1/2 inches deep, applied flat against a panel. It presents a 5-inch column face without projecting into the room the way a full column would.
It is supplied unfinished. The finishing is done on-site alongside the cabinetry it accompanies.
Choose this column when the island or counter runs at bar height and the end panel calls for a 5-inch face in cherry.
