This Pro Value Metro square column is a full-section decorative wood column sized for the exposed end of a kitchen island or peninsula, standing 36 inches tall with a 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch square section in alder.
The distinction that matters most on this column is the section size. At 3-1/2 inches in both width and depth, this piece is a square full-section column rather than a split or applied half. Where a split column at 1-1/2 inches deep reads as a trim element applied to a flat panel, a 3-1/2 inch square section reads as a column standing at the corner of the island. That presence is the point: at an exposed end where the island terminates in open space rather than against a wall, this section fills the corner with a column that has actual volume. It suits runs where both the face and the side of the end panel are visible, because it turns the corner as trim cannot.
Alder is a fine-grained hardwood that stains evenly and finishes well, which makes it a practical choice alongside cabinetry programs built from the same species. The piece is supplied unfinished, so the finish is applied after installation, on site, to match the surrounding work. The Metro Columns program also runs in cherry and maple, which means the column can be specified in whichever species the cabinetry is built from rather than finishing over a mismatch. No Color/Finish value is set on this record; it arrives as raw unfinished wood.
This column is the right choice for a kitchen island end where the corner is exposed on two sides, a peninsula return that terminates away from a wall, or a bar cabinet where the end panel needs a column that reads as three-dimensional. At 36 inches it aligns with standard counter height, which is the common application in kitchen and island builds. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load. It does not substitute for an engineered post and no load rating is stated for this product.
A full square section. Both the width and the depth measure 3-1/2 inches, so it stands as a three-dimensional column rather than a flat applied half.
No. This is a decorative wood column with no rated load capacity. It is applied trim, not an engineered post.
36 inches is the column's own height. The finished counter height depends on the countertop thickness and any base assembly, which the column does not determine.
The Metro Columns program includes cherry and maple variants alongside this alder version.
Choose this column when the island end is exposed in space and the corner needs a full-section vertical presence rather than a flat trim piece.
