This Pro Value Contemporary bar column is a decorative wood column for island ends, bar panels, and cabinet installations at raised counter height.
The 42 inch height corresponds to the raised bar height common on kitchen islands and peninsula countertops, the tier that sits above standard counter level and seats guests at barstool height. A column at this dimension reads as a vertical break between the lower cabinet body and the overhang above, giving the end of an island a finished, furniture-like edge rather than an exposed panel. Because the section is 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, this is a fuller section, not a shallow split piece, so it reads with more visual weight than an applied half-section would at the same height.
Alder is a practical species choice for this application. It machines and sands cleanly, accepts stain with consistent color uptake across the grain, and is a standard species in many cabinetry programs, which means this column can be ordered in the same wood the surrounding cabinets are built from rather than being finished to approximate it. The piece arrives unfinished, so stain, paint, or clear coat is applied in the shop alongside the rest of the millwork run. No Color/Finish value is carried on this product; it is raw wood intended for finishing on site or in the shop.
Cabinet shops building raised bar islands or peninsula runs use this column to cap the exposed end of the lower cabinet body before the countertop goes on. Designers specifying a contemporary kitchen elevation choose it for the square geometry, which keeps the vertical element in the same visual register as flat-front doors and simple hardware. Contractors finishing a renovation order it when the bar end needs a transition piece that stains to match rather than one that arrives in a standard finish that may not coordinate. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
The section is 3-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches, which makes it a fuller column face rather than a shallow split piece applied over a flat panel. Its depth and width are equal, so it presents the same dimension in both directions.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It does not carry structural load, and no load rating is stated for it.
42 inches corresponds to raised bar height, the standard for bar-height islands and elevated counter tiers. The 36 inch version suits standard counter height. Both are offered in the same program.
Alder accepts both stain and paint. Arriving unfinished, it can be prepped and finished in whatever system the surrounding millwork uses.
Choose this column when the exposed end of a raised bar island needs a finished, contemporary vertical break that can be stained or painted to match the cabinet run it belongs to.
