This Pro Value Metro island column is a decorative applied column sized for the end panel of a standard counter-height kitchen island or peninsula.
A square-section column on an island end does something a flat panel does not: it breaks the vertical plane of the cabinet face and gives the island a furniture-grade corner detail. At 2-3/4 inches wide and 2-3/4 inches deep, this piece carries enough presence to read as an intentional architectural element rather than trim applied after the fact. The Metro profile keeps the lines clean, which is why this column shows up on islands and peninsula ends in kitchens running a transitional or contemporary program.
The 36 inch height corresponds to standard counter height, which is the common application. A finished counter will sit on top of the island base, so the final visible height depends on the top and any base build-up beneath, not on this column alone.
Alder is a practical choice for painted and stained programs alike. Its grain is relatively uniform and it accepts stain with reasonable consistency, which is why it is a common species in production cabinetry. This column arrives unfinished, so it can be painted or stained on the bench before installation to match the surrounding cabinet doors and face frames. Because grain and growth conditions vary even within one species, no stain match to existing cabinetry can be guaranteed.
Cabinet shops and installers ordering a complete island package reach for this piece when the end of the island needs a finished column detail and the cabinetry is built in alder. The square section and the Metro program also suit designers specifying a kitchen with a mix of slab and traditional elements, where a simple square column bridges the two without committing to either. This is a decorative applied column. It carries no structural load and is not a replacement for a framed post.
At 2-3/4 inches wide and 2-3/4 inches deep, the cross-section is square rather than a half-section. It sits out from the panel it is applied to rather than lying nearly flat against it.
The column is 36 inches tall. The finished height at the top of the countertop depends on the counter thickness and the base framing, which are separate from this piece.

No. This is a decorative applied column. It is not engineered as a structural post and carries no stated load rating.
Choose this column when the island end needs a finished square column face at counter height, and the cabinetry program is built in alder.
