This Pro Value Metro island column is a decorative wood column for kitchen island ends, peninsula returns, and cabinet runs that call for a full-section vertical statement at counter height.
The difference between a split column and this one is in the depth. At 4-3/4 inches on both the face and the depth, this column presents a substantially fuller section than the shallow applied half-columns common in island trim work. It suits corners, peninsula ends, and any position where the column will be visible from two sides and a thin section would look unconvincing. Where a 1-1/2 inch split column disappears when viewed from the side, a 4-3/4 inch section holds its form. That makes this the right choice for open-plan kitchens where the island is approached from multiple angles rather than seen only head-on from the room.
The Metro Columns program reflects a clean, contemporary-influenced profile suited to transitional and modern kitchen programs. Alder is a practical species choice in cabinetry because it accepts stain consistently across the face, and it is offered here alongside cherry and maple in the same program so the column can be ordered to match whichever species the surrounding cabinetry uses. The piece arrives unfinished, which means the finish is applied on-site at the same time as the adjacent cabinets rather than factory-matched at a distance. No Color/Finish value is given in the source because none is applied at the factory.
Cabinet shops building out a kitchen island with a prominent corner or end condition, designers specifying a more substantial column presence than a split section provides, and contractors finishing a peninsula where both the face and the return are in view are the natural buyers for this SKU. At 36 inches it aligns with standard counter height, which is the common application. It is a decorative piece and carries no load rating, so it does not substitute for structural framing or a post.
It is a fuller section. The depth is 4-3/4 inches, the same as the face width, so it presents a square profile rather than a thin applied half-section.
Yes. The equal face and depth dimensions mean it reads as a column from both the front and the side, which is why it suits corners and two-sided peninsula ends.
No. It is a decorative wood column with no rated load capacity. It is not a structural post.
Unfinished alder. Staining and finishing are done on-site after installation.
Yes. The Metro Columns program is offered in cherry and maple as well, so you can match the species to your cabinetry program.
Choose this column where the island or peninsula end is exposed on two sides and a fuller square section is what the space calls for.
