These are very nice handles. I was going to paint my cabinets but after taking off the polished silver pulls and put on the black pulls, my cabinets look wonderful. It made the oak cabinets look darker in color and so rich looking. So Happy I don't have to go through the process of cleaning the cabinet, sanding, priming and putting a double coat on each side of the cabinets. I did this with the center island and it was a real pain. Funny how under a hundred dollars spruced these up. My husband a retired finishing carpenter even remarked how rich these pulls made these old oak cabinets look. Don't look at the messy counter still painting the uppers on the center islands. 2 more coats on the inside, then hinges and cabinet pulls.
