This Pro Value Metro island column is a decorative square column designed for application at the end of a kitchen island, peninsula, or cabinet run. Standing 36 inches tall with a 4-3/4 inch by 4-3/4 inch section, it presents a substantially more architectural profile than a split or half-section column while remaining an applied decorative piece.
At 4-3/4 inches in both width and depth, this column presents a square face and projects nearly 5 inches from whatever panel it is applied to. That projection is what distinguishes it from the shallower split sections in the Metro program: where a 1-1/2 inch deep split column reads as a column face on an otherwise flat panel, this section reads as a column with real body. On an island end, that extra depth creates shadow lines and visual mass that anchor the piece in the room. The tradeoff is the projection into the surrounding walkway, so the depth should be measured against the available clearance before ordering.
The column is maple, supplied unfinished. Maple is a close-grained, consistent species that accepts paint and clear finishes evenly, which is one reason it is a common choice in cabinet programs where the column will be painted to match door fronts. It is also offered alongside alder and cherry in the Metro program, so a shop building in maple can order the column in the same species as the surrounding case rather than staining a different wood to approximate it.
This column is built for the exposed end of a kitchen island at standard counter height, the most common application for a 36 inch column in this program. It also works at peninsula returns, at the end of a tall cabinet run, or wherever a vertical decorative member needs enough section to stand on its own visually rather than read as applied trim. The Metro style keeps the profile simple and straight-lined, which suits contemporary, transitional, and Shaker-adjacent kitchens without competing with the cabinet doors. This is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
A fuller square section. At 4-3/4 inches in both width and depth, it is not a half-section applied flat against a panel face the way a 1-1/2 inch deep split column is. It projects nearly 5 inches from the surface it mounts to.
No. This is a decorative wood column, not a structural post. It carries no rated load capacity.
No. It is supplied as unfinished maple and is ready for paint, stain, or a clear finish on site.
The Metro Columns program includes alder and cherry versions as separate items.
Choose this column where a 36 inch exposed island or cabinet end needs a substantial decorative vertical, ready to finish in maple to match the surrounding cabinetry.
