If you need to cover a lot of real estate in your kitchen, this pull is for you.  These are the only two 12'' in our kitchen and we chose to mount them vertically due to the length of cabinet doors.  I can imagine they look just a great if mounted horizontally. They pair well with light and dark cabinet colors, are sturdy, and a good compliment to the Exceed 1.5'' Round knob in Matte Black.
