This Pro Value Traditional Columns program column is a decorative fluted bar column for kitchen islands, bar-height peninsulas, and cabinet end panels finished in a traditional style.
Fluting is one of the oldest column details in furniture and architectural woodwork, and it earns its place in traditional cabinetry because it is recognizable at a glance as something deliberately crafted. On a kitchen island or a bar peninsula, an end panel column is the first element a person walking past reads up close. A plain square post and a fluted column both occupy the same footprint; the difference is entirely in what the room looks like from across it.
At 42 inches, this column corresponds to a raised bar counter height, which is the common application for a column at this height. That is where it is most often chosen: the end of an island with a raised eating surface, a bar peninsula in an open-plan kitchen, or a tall cabinet run that terminates at an exposed end. The 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch section reads as a full column rather than an applied half-section, which suits a position where both faces of the end are visible.
The species is cherry, supplied unfinished. Cherry is a fine-grained hardwood that takes stain and clear finish evenly, and it is a common choice in traditional cabinetry programs for exactly that reason. Because the column arrives unfinished, the finishing happens in the same shop pass as the cabinetry it will sit beside, which is the only way to get a close visual result when the column is sitting next to a cherry door.
This column is also offered in maple and alder within the Traditional Columns program, which allows the species to be matched to whatever the surrounding cabinet program is built from rather than finished to approximate it. This is a decorative applied column and carries no structural load rating.
Cabinet shops finishing a traditional-style island or peninsula at bar height, designers specifying end treatments for a traditional kitchen, and contractors sourcing the last pieces of a high-end traditional remodel all find this column solving the same problem: a bar-height end panel that needs to read as intentional woodwork rather than a capped panel edge. It is a product for projects where the design style has been committed to and the column is the detail that confirms it.
A full section. At 3-1/2 inches in both width and depth, it is not a half-section applied to a flat panel. It suits a position where the column stands clear on multiple sides.
No. It is a decorative wood column with no stated load rating. It is not a structural post.
42 inches corresponds to a common raised-bar counter height, which is the typical application. The finished height of any installation depends on the base and countertop thickness, which vary by project.
Yes. The Traditional Columns program includes maple and alder alongside cherry. Each species is a separate item.
Unfinished cherry, ready to stain or clear-coat in the shop.
Choose this column where a raised-bar island or peninsula end needs to carry the full weight of a traditional room's design language, in the species the rest of the cabinetry is built from.
