This Pro Value Traditional Columns series column is a decorative maple column sized for bar-height cabinetry and island ends. At 42 inches tall, it is built for raised-bar and counter applications where the standard 36-inch counter-height column falls short.
Most kitchen islands sit at standard counter height, but a raised bar or elevated seating section pushes the upper surface four to six inches higher, and a 36-inch column simply does not reach it. This column closes that gap. At 42 inches it reads correctly under a raised bar overhang, at the end of an elevated peninsula, or at a transitional point where the island steps up from one surface level to another. The 5-by-5-inch section gives it the visual weight to anchor that corner without disappearing into the surrounding millwork.
The column is maple, supplied unfinished. Maple is a dense, close-grained hardwood with a smooth face that accepts paint evenly and takes stain with a relatively uniform result across its surface. It is a practical choice when the surrounding cabinetry is also maple, because the column can be finished in the same sequence as the doors and frames it sits beside rather than being treated separately as a contrasting element. The Traditional Columns design program puts this piece alongside matching capitals, bases, and profiles in the same series, so coordination within the program is straightforward.
Cabinet shops building raised-bar islands for furniture-style or raised-panel kitchens are the primary buyer. The traditional style suits a program where the door profile carries a decorative ogee or a detailed rail, where corbels and rope molding are elsewhere in the order, and where the hardware leans toward an oil-rubbed or antique finish. Designers specifying a formal kitchen or a butler's pantry with elevated cabinetry will find this column at the height that matches that application. It is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load.
At 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep, this is a full square-section column rather than a shallow applied or split piece. It projects 5 inches from whatever surface it is placed against.
42 inches corresponds to a raised-bar counter height. For a standard 36-inch kitchen counter, the 36-inch version in the same program is the correct choice.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It carries no rated load and is not a structural post.
The species is the same, which is the starting point for finishing consistency. An exact stain or color match across separately finished pieces is not something any wood supplier can guarantee, because results vary with grain, growth conditions, and finishing process.
Choose this column when the design asks for traditional detail at bar height, and the 36-inch option simply does not reach.
