This Pro Value Traditional Column is a decorative solid-wood column sized for the exposed end of a kitchen island, peninsula, or tall cabinet run. At 36 inches tall with a 5 by 5 inch square section, it brings the weight and proportion of a traditional architectural column to cabinetry without the framing demands of a structural post.
The depth here is what separates this column from the rest of the program. A 1-1/2 inch deep split section is trim applied to a panel face. At 5 inches deep and 5 inches wide, this column reads as a genuine vertical member at the end of an island or a cabinet run, projecting 5 inches into the space around it. That projection is the traditional architectural reference: a column that looks placed rather than applied, with enough mass to anchor an island visually from across a kitchen. At 36 inches it corresponds to standard counter height, which is the most common setting for an island column in a kitchen. The full section also makes it easier to work molding returns at the top and base, because there is material on all four faces rather than a flat panel behind a half-section.
The piece is alder, supplied unfinished. Alder holds a consistent stain across its grain and is a standard species in cabinet programs that also run in cherry and maple, which is why this program offers all three. Choosing the species that matches the surrounding cabinetry is more reliable than finishing a different species to approximate it. The column arrives ready for the shop's finish schedule alongside the door and drawer fronts it will stand next to.
Cabinet shops finishing an island with exposed end panels reach for a column like this when the design calls for traditional detailing: raised panels, rope molding at the crown, turned bun feet at the base. Designers specifying a furniture-style kitchen select the full 5 by 5 section because the mass is part of the look. Contractors and remodelers fitting cabinetry in a traditionally styled home use it to give the island the same architectural weight as the built-ins along the wall. This is a decorative applied column. It carries no load and does not substitute for a structural post.
A full section. At 5 inches deep and 5 inches wide, it projects 5 inches from wherever it is positioned, unlike a split or applied half-section.
No. This is a decorative column with no stated load rating. It is not a structural post.
The Traditional Columns program includes cherry and maple alongside alder. Each species is a separate item.
It arrives unfinished. Staining or painting it is done in the shop alongside the surrounding cabinetry.
Choose this column when the design calls for the mass and presence of a full architectural column at counter height, in a species that can be finished alongside the rest of the cabinetry program.
