This Pro Value Contemporary bar column is a decorative wood column for the exposed ends of raised-counter islands, bar stations, and cabinet panels where a clean, current profile is the goal. It is a full-section column at 3-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches, sized for the 42-inch raised-bar height that has become the standard for kitchen islands with seating.
The 42-inch dimension is the raised-bar height used on the seating side of a kitchen island or a peninsula counter built above standard counter height. A column at this height lands where the overhang panel ends, finishing the vertical face so it reads as a designed element rather than a raw substrate edge. At 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, this is a full-section piece: it stands at the corner or end of an island rather than being applied flat against a panel. That matters when the cabinetry design calls for a column that wraps a corner or presents the same face in two directions rather than one.
Cherry is a fine-grained hardwood with a warm reddish tone that deepens over time, and it is one of the more commonly specified species in furniture-style cabinetry and raised-bar programs. This column arrives unfinished, which means finish matching happens in the shop alongside the cabinet doors and panels rather than being approximated at the factory. Ordering the column in the same species as the surrounding cabinetry is the straightforward path to a consistent result, and cherry is offered here alongside maple and alder in the same program for exactly that reason.
This column is the right choice for a contemporary kitchen island with a raised seating counter, a bar cabinet with a finished exposed end, or a peninsula return that needs a vertical element at bar height. It is a decorative column and carries no structural load. It is not a post substitute and is not rated for any load-bearing application.
Full section. It measures 3-1/2 inches in both directions, so it presents a column face on two sides rather than sitting flat against a panel like a split or applied section would.
No. It is a decorative wood column with no rated load capacity. It is not a structural post.
Cherry's grain and tone are distinctive enough that matching it with stain on a different species tends to read differently in person. Ordering in the same species as the cabinet doors is the more reliable approach.
Not typically. The 42-inch height corresponds to a raised bar or seating counter. For a standard 36-inch counter height, the 36-inch version of this column is the appropriate choice.
When the design calls for a contemporary profile at bar height, this cherry column delivers the full-section presence an exposed island end or corner needs, unfinished and ready to match the shop finish.
