These are very functional pulls and will dress up a bath, kitchen or laundry room.  The size makes them not look so "ordinary".  We have very tall storage cabinets in our garage and are using them there.  We've used them in the past in the kitchen in the dark bronze and have also installed them in a friend's laundry room in the stainless steel.  In all places, they have made a statement with the clean lines.  None that we have installed have tarnished or discolored.  I highly recommend them.
