We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel and doing our bathrooms, also. We are having a professional painter come in and paint our cabinets, but we wanted to update the handles several months ago, just to get rid of the ugly gold ones that we had from about 10 years ago. These are really nice handles, solid and easy to clean and I believe they are stainless steel. The other thing I love about them is that my husband has very big hands and he can fit his big “mitts” inside of these without any trouble at all. Loving them!
