This Pro Value Metro island column is a decorative wood column designed to finish the exposed end of a kitchen island, peninsula, or cabinet run, in cherry.
At 2-3/4 inches wide and 2-3/4 inches deep, this column presents a square section rather than a shallow applied sliver. That distinction shapes how you use it. A narrower split column, running 1-1/2 inches deep, sits nearly flush against a panel and reads as trim. This piece projects 2-3/4 inches, so it reads as a more substantial vertical element at the end of an island or at a corner where two panel faces meet. It suits applications where a bolder column presence is the design intent rather than a minimal one. Like every column in this segment, it is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
Cherry is one of the three species available across the Metro Columns program, alongside maple and alder. It is among the more popular choices in cabinet shops building cherry programs, because using the same species for the column and the surrounding cabinetry means finishing produces a consistent starting point rather than one that has to be compensated. The piece arrives unfinished, which lets the finisher apply the same stain or topcoat system used on the doors and panels next to it. Cherry darkens naturally with light exposure over time, which is a species behavior worth knowing before specifying it in a high-light location.
This column works best at the exposed end of a kitchen island at standard counter height, at a peninsula return, or at a tall cabinet end where a vertical transition is needed. Cabinet shops and finish carpenters building a cherry program will find it useful anywhere the end of a run needs to close cleanly. Homeowners renovating an existing cherry kitchen have the option of matching it to the surrounding material before finishing. At 36 inches it aligns with standard counter height, though the finished height at installation depends on the base and the countertop, not on this piece alone.
No. This column measures 2-3/4 inches in both width and depth, giving it a square section. The split columns in the program run shallower in depth, so they apply nearly flat against a panel. This piece projects farther and reads as a fuller column presence.
No. It is a decorative wood column and is not rated for structural or load-bearing use.
Unfinished. It takes whatever stain, paint, or topcoat system you apply on site.

When the surrounding cabinetry is cherry, ordering the column in cherry keeps the finishing process straightforward and the result consistent from end panel to column face.
