Can someone suggest some vendors of interior, non-loadbearing columns?
Thanks!

What style of columns do you want? Round? Square? Smooth? Fluted? Etc?
Hi Matt,
Round columns, maybe fluted.
Note that they will also be short columns - around 5' - 6' in height. They'll extend between builtin bookcases and an arch. They're part of a transition between a living room and a dining room.

Personally, if they are smooth, I'd use exterior fiber composite columns. They paint up real nice, are readily available, and 8' wnes can easily be cut down to 5 or 6'. An 8" x8' is about $140. As far as if they are load bearing or not, in your applicatioin, who cares.

I'd go with wood on the interior - if you decide on cast fiber-cement their factory and shipping point is NC, I think.
