This Pro Value Traditional Island Column is a solid wood decorative column for kitchen islands, peninsula ends, and cabinet runs where a traditional architectural profile is part of the design language.
A traditional kitchen is one of the settings where a column does real visual work. Raised-panel doors, furniture-style bases, detailed moldings, and inset hardware all build toward an architectural whole, and an exposed island end that terminates in a flat panel reads as unfinished in that context. A square column at the end of the run closes it the way traditional millwork is supposed to: with a vertical element that references the column-and-post vocabulary of classic American cabinetry. At 5 inches on each side, this column has enough presence to hold its own against heavier door profiles without looking tacked on.
Cherry is selected here for the same reason it is selected for door and drawer fronts: it is a furniture-grade hardwood that takes stain and clear finish evenly and deepens in color with age and light exposure. The column arrives unfinished, which means it can be finished in the shop alongside the surrounding cabinetry rather than trying to match a factory-applied coat after the fact. Species consistency across an island end is the most reliable way to keep the grain and tone reading as one piece of work. This column is available in alder and maple in the same Traditional Columns program, but cherry is the natural fit when the surrounding case work is cherry.
This column suits cabinet shops and finish carpenters building or refitting traditional-style kitchens with cherry cabinetry, as well as designers specifying the full column-and-molding treatment for an island end. Homeowners restoring or updating a traditional kitchen will find that the 36 inch height lines up with a standard countertop installation. Because it is a full 5 by 5 inch section, it reads as a freestanding column rather than a surface-applied trim piece, which suits corners and end panels where the full depth is available. It is a decorative element and carries no structural load.
A full square section: 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep. It is not a half-section applied to a flat panel.
No. It is a decorative wood column with no rated load capacity. For a structural support, a separate engineered element is needed.
Unfinished cherry, ready for staining or painting in the shop.
Standard counter height. If you are working at bar or raised-counter height, look at the 42 inch version in the same program.
Choose this column when the kitchen calls for traditional millwork at the island end and the cabinetry is cherry.
