This Pro Value Traditional Bar Column is a decorative wood column in maple, sized for raised-bar and tall-island cabinetry applications where a traditional architectural character is the goal.
The 42 inch dimension lines up with raised-bar countertops and tall-island surfaces, the elevated working and seating surfaces that have become standard in open kitchen plans. At those heights, the visual transition between the base cabinetry and the underside of the counter is long, and a column at the end of the run or island gives that vertical stretch a finished architectural reading. A shorter column at 36 inches suits a standard counter; the 42 inch version here is the bar-height answer. Neither figure accounts for a countertop's thickness, so the finished height above the floor depends on the counter, the base, and how the column is positioned relative to both.
Maple is a close-grained hardwood that finishes cleanly, takes paint well, and holds a stained finish evenly across its face. These qualities make it a frequent choice in both painted and clear-finished cabinetry programs. The column is supplied unfinished, which means it can be finished on the bench before installation to match the surrounding doors and panels rather than being finished in place. The Traditional Columns program also supplies this same column in cherry and alder, so the species can follow the primary cabinetry material rather than being worked around it.
Cabinet shops and installers working on traditional or transitional kitchen programs with raised-bar islands will find this column sized correctly for that application. Designers specifying hardware and millwork for a traditional kitchen package can pair it with the companion pieces in the Traditional Columns series. Homeowners finishing or refitting an island end can use it to cap an otherwise plain panel with an architectural element that reads as intentional. Because the section is 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, this is a fuller column rather than a thin applied strip, and it occupies that footprint. It is a decorative piece and carries no structural load.
Full section. At 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches it is a complete square column, not a split or applied sliver. Plan for that depth in the layout.
No. This is a decorative wood column. It is not a structural post and carries no rated load capacity.
The Traditional Columns program includes this column in cherry and alder as well. Each species is a separate item.
Maple accepts paint cleanly, making it a workable choice for painted cabinetry programs. It is supplied unfinished.
Choose this column to bring a finished, classical vertical element to a raised-bar island end or a tall cabinet run where the height calls for something more than a plain panel.
