We have different sized drawers (approx 12.5 15.5 and 17.5 inches across) and the 5inch pull works on all of them.  We used the pulls on the drawers of the cabinets versus the doors of the kitchen island (which is painted distressed black in contrast to the off-white cabinets). 

After I placed the order, I started having second thoughts because I realized the birdcage style might be a dust collector.  It has been nine months since we completed our remodel and this hasnt been an issue at all!

We also purchased the birdcage 3 38inch knob.
