This Pro Value Metro Cam Bar split column is a decorative applied column sized for raised bars, raised islands, and tall cabinet runs where 42 inches is the working height.
Raised bars and elevated islands sit taller than standard counter height, and a 36-inch column leaves an unfinished gap where the panel above it shows. At 42 inches, this column runs the full height of a raised bar panel in a single piece, from the toekick line to the countertop, without a break or a splice. That matters on an exposed island end where the seam would be visible from every angle in the room. The Metro profile keeps the geometry clean and linear, which reads well in contemporary and transitional kitchens where ornament is kept to a minimum.
At 5 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep, this is a split or applied section: it presents a 5-inch column face and projects 2-1/2 inches from whatever it is fastened to. That depth is enough to register as a genuine column rather than a thin trim strip, while remaining shallow enough to apply to a cabinet end without requiring the island frame to be built around it. The face-to-depth ratio is what makes this piece read as a bar column in scale rather than a door stile.
Maple is one of the most common species in production cabinetry, and the reason to specify a maple column on a maple cabinet is consistency in how the finish takes. Where the cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and end panels are maple, applying a maple column means one finish system on one species across the visible surfaces, rather than managing a stain match between two woods. This piece is supplied unfinished, so the finish is applied in-shop alongside the rest of the case. The Metro Columns program is also available in alder and cherry for shops building in those species.
Cabinet shops installing raised bars or elevated peninsulas in residential kitchens and entertainment areas will reach for this column when the exposed island end needs to carry through to 42 inches. Designers specifying a contemporary kitchen with a raised bar and minimal hardware will find the Metro profile's clean lines compatible with the overall look. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
Standard counter height is 36 inches. Raised bars and some islands sit at 42 inches. This column is cut to that taller dimension so it covers the full panel height in one piece on a raised application.
A split section. It is 5 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep, so it applies flat against a panel rather than standing as a freestanding post.
No. It is a decorative applied column with no rated load capacity.
The Metro Columns program includes alder and cherry variants. Check the catalog for the species that matches your project.
Specify this column on a raised-bar island or peninsula where the exposed end needs a clean column face that runs the full 42 inches without a splice.
