This Pro Value Metro column is a decorative square column, 36 inches tall, for the exposed end of a kitchen island, peninsula, or cabinet run finished in cherry.
Most columns in this catalog are split sections: a few inches wide and an inch or two deep, sized to lie flat against a panel and present a column face. This one reads differently. At 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, depth and width are equal, which means the column projects substantially from the face it mounts to and casts its own shadow on all four sides. That produces a freestanding visual weight that a split section cannot match, and it is the right call when the end of the island is prominent, when the column will be visible from the dining side as well as the kitchen side, or when the room's architecture calls for a heavier vertical element at counter height.
The column is cherry, supplied ready to finish. Cherry is a close-grained, moderately hard wood with a warm reddish-brown tone that deepens with age and light exposure. It is a first-choice species when the surrounding cabinetry is cherry, because finishing the column in the same program produces a result that reads as one contiguous material rather than a trim piece applied over it. The Metro Columns program offers the same column in maple and alder as well, which are the other two common species in this catalog's cabinetry programs.
This column suits exposed island ends, peninsula returns, and cabinet runs where a heavier column profile is appropriate and the cabinetry is cherry or will be finished in a cherry-compatible stain. The 36 inch height matches standard counter height, which is the most common application. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
The depth and width are equal at 3-1/2 inches each, which puts it in the fuller column category rather than a thin applied half-section. It will project 3-1/2 inches from whatever face it mounts to.
No. This is a decorative column with no stated load rating. It is not a structural post and should not be used as one.
It is supplied unfinished cherry, ready for stain, paint, or a clear coat to match the surrounding cabinetry.
The Metro Columns program includes additional sizes. Check the other listings in the family for the dimensions you need.
Choose this column when the island's exposed end calls for a full-bodied square profile in cherry, and the room has the proportions to carry it.
