This Pro Value Traditional Columns series maple square bar column is a decorative applied column sized for raised bar and elevated counter installations. At 42 inches tall with a 2-3/4 by 2-3/4 inch square section, it stands at the raised-bar height common to kitchen islands and peninsula counters, finishing exposed cabinet ends with a clean, full-bodied column profile.
The two heights in this column family, 36 inches and 42 inches, correspond to the two standard island working heights: counter and raised bar. This 42-inch column is the one for a raised bar or elevated seating counter, where the finished surface sits higher than a standard kitchen counter. Placing it at the end of an island run or a peninsula return gives the elevated counter a grounded architectural footing rather than leaving the cabinet end exposed. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
At 2-3/4 inches in both width and depth, this column presents a square face and projects 2-3/4 inches from the panel it is applied to. That equal depth-to-width ratio is what distinguishes it from a split section: it reads as a full column profile at the end of the cabinet rather than a half-section applied to simulate one. The wood is maple, supplied unfinished, which is the practical choice for a piece that needs to sit next to finished cabinetry, because maple accepts paint and stain cleanly and is one of the more predictable species in a shop finishing environment.
Cabinet shops building raised-bar island programs in a transitional aesthetic will find the square profile fits most face-frame and frameless cabinet lines without committing to a strongly traditional or strongly contemporary character. Designers specifying an island with seating on one or both ends can use this column to give those ends a finished vertical element. Contractors finishing a kitchen renovation with a raised counter overhang can apply it to the end panel without modifying the cabinet box. Because it is unfinished maple, it is equally suited to a painted result or a stained one depending on the rest of the kitchen.
The width and depth are both 2-3/4 inches, making this a full square profile rather than a shallow applied half-section. It projects 2-3/4 inches from the surface it mounts to.
42 inches corresponds to raised-bar height. If your island counter or overhang runs at standard counter height, the 36-inch version in the same series is the more common fit.
No. It is a decorative wood column. It is not a structural post and carries no rated load capacity.
Yes. The Traditional Columns series includes this profile in cherry and alder, and the 36-inch height is available as a companion item.
Choose this column to close the exposed end of a bar-height island or peninsula with a square architectural profile that works across transitional cabinet programs, in maple that is ready for whatever finish the rest of the project calls for.
