This Pro Value Traditional Columns series piece is a full-section decorative wood column in cherry, designed to finish the end of a kitchen island, a peninsula, or a cabinet run in a classic architectural form.
Traditional cabinetry programs rely on vertical elements to carry the formal weight of the design: the pilasters at the ends of runs, the columns at island corners, the posts that break up a long stretch of face frame. This column fills that role at a kitchen island or a peninsula end. The square section at 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches is proportioned for a counter-height application, where a slimmer split column would read as flat trim and a wider full section would crowd the walkway. At 36 inches tall it lands at standard counter height, which is the dimension that determines where this column terminates and how the countertop caps it.
The piece is solid wood, species cherry, supplied with no finish applied. Cherry is a fine-grained domestic hardwood that takes stain and clear finishes consistently, and it is a common species in formal and traditional cabinetry programs precisely because it finishes predictably. Ordering the column in the same species as the surrounding cabinetry gives the finishing trade the best starting point, because the same stain formula on the same species produces a closer result than any cross-species approach. No stain result or color match to existing millwork can be promised, but the species match is the right starting condition.
Cabinet shops and designers specifying a traditional or formal kitchen program will find this column useful at island ends, at the exposed corners of peninsula cabinets, or at the base of a tall cabinet run where a vertical architectural element is part of the design intent. Contractors and homeowners refitting a kitchen with traditional hardware and raised-panel doors can use it to carry that formal register through to the island structure. This is a decorative applied column. It carries no structural load and does not substitute for a structural post.
It is a full section at 3-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches. A split or applied column would carry a much smaller depth, typically 1-1/2 inches or less. This one projects 3-1/2 inches from whatever surface it is set against.
No. This is a decorative wood column with no rated load capacity. It is not a structural post and should not be used as one.
The Traditional Columns series is offered in additional species. Check the catalog for the maple and alder versions in the same series.
It arrives unfinished. Staining, sealing, or painting is done after installation to match the surrounding cabinetry finish system.
Choose this column to close a kitchen island or cabinet end in a traditional design language, in the same cherry species as the cabinetry it meets.
