These are great handles for opening our cabinets and drawers.  We bought over 50 of these to use throughout our kitchen and bathrooms.  We put them vertical on the upper cabinet doors, and horizontal on all the drawers and lower cabinet doors.  They really enhanced the look of our kitchen and bath.  They are easy to clean with their smooth lines, and feel very solid when we tug on them to open even stubborn or heavy drawers.  We recommend them to anyone who wants handles with timeless appeal.
