I've wanted to replace the hardware in my kitchen since moving in about 8 months ago, but I was struggling to find something that had just the right amount of classic, traditional style but didn't look old or out-dated. We previously had modern, silver rectangular pulls on all of the cabinets and drawers, but this style in black is much more sophisticated and truer to the style of our home. I especially like the detail where the handle meets the door; it makes them look more substantial and expensive. They held up well in shipping, with no damage or nicks in the finish. So excited to replace the rest of them!
