These are very nice kitchen pulls heavy duty and with a versatile style. One thing I was concerned about when deciding to opt for gold pulls was the shade. I did not want anything that was more brass than gold, so I chose this over two other gold pulls on this site. It is a bit darker than what I had expected, but it’s not a deal breaker. They not only look nice against my cabinets, but wipes clean very easily. They do have a slight texture on them, so they are not completely smooth, but they are not rough either.
