This Pro Value Contemporary bar column is a decorative wood column designed for the exposed end of a raised-bar island, peninsula, or bar-height cabinet run.
Raised-bar islands and peninsula overhangs are where the 42 inch height earns its place. At that height, the column aligns with seating surfaces meant for bar stools rather than standard dining or counter chairs. An island end at 42 inches that goes unfinished reads as construction; the same end with a 5 by 5 column reads as a deliberate design decision. The same applies to a bar cabinet built against a wall or to a floating peninsula that needs both ends dressed.
Because the section is 5 inches by 5 inches, this is a full-depth piece rather than a shallow applied section. It presents a substantial face in each direction, which suits a corner application or a freestanding end where two sides of the column may be visible at once.
Maple is a dense, close-grained hardwood that takes a finish consistently across its face, which matters on a piece this size. At 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep, any unevenness in stain absorption shows. Maple's tight grain minimizes that, making it a reliable choice when the column needs to present a uniform surface after finishing. It is supplied unfinished, so staining, painting, or clear-coating happens on site to match the surrounding cabinetry program.
Cabinet shops building a raised-bar kitchen island will reach for this column when the end panel needs a finished vertical anchor rather than a plain flat end. Designers specifying a contemporary kitchen with clean-lined millwork will find that the column's minimal Contemporary styling avoids the classical taper or carved detail of a traditional turned column. Contractors finishing a bar-height peninsula where the homeowner wants the end to read as furniture rather than carpentry will use this to close it out. This column is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load.
Full section. At 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep, the column carries equal dimension in both directions and can be positioned at a corner where two faces show.
42 inches corresponds to bar height, the raised countertop height used for bar stools. The 36 inch version suits standard counter height. Order based on the finished surface height of the island or peninsula you are building.
No. This is a decorative column only and carries no load rating. It finishes an end panel visually and does not replace structural support.
No. The column is supplied as unfinished maple and is finished on site.
The dimensions are the same across styles in this program, but the design profile differs. The Contemporary version carries a clean, minimal line without classical carving or taper detail.
Order this column when the raised-bar end of an island or peninsula needs a strong vertical statement in unfinished maple, ready to match whatever finish program the rest of the kitchen is running.
