This Pro Value Metro bun foot is a decorative wood foot for cabinets, vanities, islands, and furniture bases where the design calls for a squared, unfussy silhouette rather than a turned or traditional profile.
The Metro program is the squared alternative in the Pro Value foot lineup. Where a transitional or traditional foot tapers, turns, or curves, the Metro foot keeps its section consistent from top to base. That straight, block-like geometry reads well under frameless cabinetry, slab-door kitchens, and any build where the hardware and millwork are already leaning away from ornament. It also makes the foot easier to align and seat flat against a plinth or toe-kick return, because there is no taper to account for at the top.
At 4 inches tall, the foot raises the cabinet base far enough to read as furniture without pushing the working surface above standard counter height on most builds. The 4-3/4 inch square section is proportioned for a full-depth base cabinet or island leg, where a smaller foot would look undersized against the panel.
Alder is one of the more finish-friendly domestic species: it is close-grained, relatively stable, and accepts stain evenly without the blotching that can show on pine or some softer hardwoods. It is a common species in cabinetry programs, which is why the Metro foot is offered in alder alongside cherry and maple. The idea is to order in the species the surrounding cabinetry is built from, then finish everything together, rather than trying to match a pre-finished foot to existing cabinet faces. The piece ships unfinished.
Cabinet shops finishing a run of frameless or Euro-style base cabinets, designers specifying a furniture-style vanity for a bathroom remodel, and contractors building a kitchen island that needs a lifted base all reach for a bun foot with Metro geometry. The squared section keeps the look consistent with the door style rather than adding a traditional turned element that would read as a mismatch. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no stated structural rating.
The squared, consistent cross-section. A standard bun foot is round or turned; this one keeps the same 4-3/4 inch square dimension from base to top, which gives it the clean block geometry the Metro program is named for.
4 inches, which is the foot's height. That is the lift between the floor and the underside of the cabinet base.
The square Metro profile is symmetrical, so it is not handed and works at any corner or leg position.
Yes. The foot is supplied unfinished, and alder accepts paint well. Sand and prime as you would any unfinished hardwood before topcoating.
Choose this foot when the design calls for a lifted cabinet base that matches the clean geometry of a Metro or frameless build, finished in alder to sit alongside the surrounding cabinetry.
