This Pro Value Traditional Columns square bar column is a decorative wood column designed for the exposed ends of kitchen islands, bar-height peninsulas, and cabinet runs where the work surface sits above standard counter height.
A 42-inch column is sized for raised-bar and raised-counter installations, the seating surfaces that step up from the standard kitchen work surface. That extra height is what separates it from the 36-inch counter-height version in the same program. At the end of a bar-height island or a raised peninsula, the column reads as a vertical anchor for the whole run, carrying the eye from the base cabinet to the underside of the raised top. It also works at the side of a tall appliance panel or a full-height cabinet end where a 36-inch column would be visually short of the finished height.
The column measures 3-3/8 inches in both width and depth, a full square section rather than a split or applied half-section. That proportion suits a freestanding end application where the column is visible from more than one angle, or anywhere the depth of a split section would look undersized against the width of the cabinet it finishes. The piece is alder, supplied unfinished. Alder accepts stain evenly and is a common species in cabinetry programs, which is why it appears alongside cherry and maple in the Traditional Columns line. Because these are unfinished goods, the finish system used on the surrounding cabinetry can be applied directly to the column without the mismatch that comes from matching a prefinished piece to a shop-finished run.
This column fits kitchen designers and cabinet shops specifying raised-bar-height islands, contractors finishing a bar-height peninsula, and homeowners adding a furniture-style detail to a raised counter. The transitional style sits comfortably next to flat-front contemporary drawer stacks and beside raised-panel traditional doors, which is why it serves mixed-style kitchens without forcing a commitment to one end of the style range. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
Full section. At 3-3/8 inches deep and 3-3/8 inches wide, it is a square column rather than a half-section applied flat against a panel.
42 inches corresponds to raised-bar and raised-counter height. The 36-inch version in the same program suits standard counter height. Choose based on the finished surface the column will sit under.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It carries no structural load and is not a post.
It is supplied unfinished, so you can apply the same finish system used on the surrounding cabinetry. Species and growing conditions still mean results vary, so a test on scrap from the same board is always worth doing before finishing in place.
Choose this column to finish the end of a raised-bar island or a bar-height peninsula with a transitional profile that works across a range of cabinet styles.
