This Pro Value Metro column is a decorative wood column in cherry, sized for island ends, peninsula returns, and exposed cabinet panel applications at standard counter height.
An island end left as a flat panel looks unfinished, especially when the surrounding cabinetry runs crown, base, and face details throughout the rest of the kitchen. A column applied to that exposed end gives the run a vertical anchor that reads as furniture rather than a box. At 4-3/4 inches square, this section has enough presence to hold its own at counter height without being so deep that it crowds a walkway or complicates the island's framing. The Metro program keeps the profile clean and rectilinear, which means it works alongside contemporary, transitional, and modern-shaker door styles without competing with them.
Cherry is the species, supplied without any applied stain or topcoat. It is one of the most commonly specified cabinet species in North American residential work, and it appears in this program alongside alder and maple so the column can be ordered in the same wood as the surrounding cabinetry. Cherry arrives light and deepens in color with light exposure over time, which is a natural characteristic of the species rather than a finish behavior. The piece is ready for whatever stain or clear system the shop is applying to the rest of the job, finished after installation or in the shop before it goes on.
This column suits cabinet shops and finish carpenters who need to close out an island or peninsula with a vertical element that matches the cabinet build. At 36 inches it lines up with standard counter height, making it the right choice for the base run rather than a raised bar. Designers specifying a kitchen remodel or a new build will find the Metro profile neutral enough to coordinate across most contemporary door programs. Because this is an unfinished piece, it is most practical for shops finishing on-site or finishing their own work in the shop before delivery.
This column is 4-3/4 inches deep and 4-3/4 inches wide, making it a full square section rather than a shallow split piece. A split column would carry a much smaller depth, typically 1-1/2 inches or less.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It is not a structural post, carries no stated load rating, and should not be used as a weight-bearing member under a countertop or overhang.
The Metro Columns program is also available in alder and maple. Check the related SKUs in this series for those options.
No. The column is supplied as unfinished cherry, ready for the shop or site finish of your choice.
Order this column when the exposed end of an island or cabinet run needs a clean, species-matched vertical element that ties the build together at counter height.
