I ordered 3 sets of knobs to see how they would look against our gray cabinets. These specific knobs are definitely brass and not gold and they were so lightweight and cheap feeling in comparison to the others. Also the screws were long and just made the knobs ill fitting. We ended up going with the more gold toned knobs pictured in the middle and couldnt be happier. I should have returned these because I will never use them, but I have not done so yet.
