This Pro Value Traditional Fluted Bar Column is a decorative wood column in alder, sized at 42 inches for raised-bar and counter-height applications. It is part of the Traditional Columns program and is designed to be applied to an island end, a peninsula panel, or a cabinet run that calls for a classical vertical element.
The two heights in this column program are 36 inches and 42 inches, and they exist because kitchen and bar design runs on two counter planes. A standard counter sits at roughly 36 inches; a raised bar or island eating counter typically lands at 42. This column is the 42-inch version, which makes it the right pick when the island or peninsula it finishes carries a raised eating surface. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load. If there is any question about structural support at an island, that need is addressed through the cabinet framing and the countertop support system, not through a decorative column.
At 3-3/4 inches wide and 3-3/4 inches deep, this column presents a square, fuller section rather than a thin split. That depth puts it in a different use case from the shallower split profiles in the same program: it reads as a more substantial column face and projects further from the panel it stands beside. The piece is alder, an even-grained species common in cabinetry programs, supplied unfinished so it can be stained, painted, or sealed to suit the surrounding work. Alder also appears in the cherry and maple variants of this program for shops whose cabinet runs are milled from those species.
Cabinet shops finishing an island with a raised eating bar reach for this column to give the exposed end a period-appropriate architectural finish. Designers specifying a traditional kitchen with raised cabinetry details use it to carry a classical vocabulary through to the base. Contractors refitting a bar area or a butler's pantry with a raised surface use it to close an exposed panel end cleanly. In each case the column is chosen because the traditional fluted bar profile says something specific about the style of the space it goes into, and a plain panel end does not.
It is a fuller section, measuring 3-3/4 inches by 3-3/4 inches. It is not a thin split section; it presents a substantial square profile.
No. This is a decorative wood column with no stated load rating. It is applied trim, not a structural post.
The Traditional Columns program also includes cherry and maple variants. Order in whichever species matches the surrounding cabinetry.
It is supplied unfinished. Finishing is done on site to match the surrounding work.
Choose this column to finish the exposed end of a raised-bar island or peninsula with a traditional fluted profile in alder, unfinished and ready for the finish system the rest of the project calls for.
