Too many rejects. Posts not level. Order WAY WAY WAY more than you need.
I'm torn on this one quite a bit. How many stars do you give to a product that looks great, feels heavy, appears to be very high quality, has a great price....but has a rejection rate of 40%? That's what I found with these drawer pulls. I bought 60 pulls at first (two 25 packs, one 10 pack) of the 5" center to center drawer pulls. I checked all of the reviews and knew that I had to watch out for the posts being off a bit. But man, I didn't expect to have to pull out THAT many from the stock!The test is really easy - lay the pull on the table and see if they rock at all. Press down on each post and each end of the pull bar. If there's any significant movement, reject it. If you have significant movement and you install anyway, the pull bar will not be perfectly level. Of course, the term "significant" is completely subjective. I accepted some that had slight movement, but some of these rocked like you wouldn't believe! I won't mess with taking videos, just go look at other negative reviews. They do a good job of demonstrating the same issues I have in the ones I received.I know what you're thinking, I'll just order an extra pack, combine to keep the best ones, send the rest back, right? Well, I did the same thing. After seeing the issues I had with so many of these I ordered another 25 pack thinking I'd get enough to do my whole house. Nope. Most of the ones in the new 25 pack were bad enough to reject. Now I'm stuck here with 85 drawer pulls, still not enough to do what I need, and now I'm fighting with Amazon for a return.My suggestion? Either pay way more for something else or order 2-3 times what you need and mess with returning the rest.Edit: I ended up returning my unused, rejected pulls and ordering more. Once you get through the rejects they look and feel nice. But it's a lot of trouble just to get a product the way it's been sold to you.

Quality control problems
The media could not be loaded. Â Sure, these feel solid and well made - but a large number of them have unacceptable and significant defects. If the handles aren't square to the posts, they simply won't line up straight when installed. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this until almost 100 holes had been drilled in our cabinets, so now I'm stuck buying more to match the good ones, and returning the defective ones.The picture attached to this review shows an example bank of drawers, with the holes drilled perfectly in position and alignment. The misalignment shown is 100% due to the posts not being in alignment with each other; they are off by almost 1/8".The video shows the problem clearly lies with the handle - not the installation. There should be zero rocking back and forth on a flat surface.

If you are looking for cabinet hardware buy these!!!!
Wow!! That's my first thought on opening these. I'm in the process of updating my master bathroom and saw these online. Of course the bargain shopper I am I checked my local stores. They had packs of 10 for $54.. Very light weight.. So I was scared of what I was getting here. These are almost 5 ounces each!! Very heavy quality, all individually wrapped with the screws for each. Definitely best quality and best price!!

Excellent quality and exceptional customer service !!!!
Excellent product and customer service is exceptional !!! The handles are beautiful and heavy. It came packaged neatly with each handle in its own bag. Also include in each bag is 2 sets of 2 different sizes of screws. It was easy to install and they look beautiful on my white and blue cabinets. There were 2 with scruff marks on them. I asked for replacements. Also, I had bought a package of 25. I miscounted and actually needed 26. It is out of stock on Amazon and I asked if I can buy 1 handle. The representative said he will send it to me for free for my trouble. I received my 2 replacements and 2 additional handles for free. Awesome customer service and beautiful products. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommend !!!!! Need to support company like this who sells quality products and provide beat service.

Tap and New Screws was the KEY!
As other reviews stated I had trouble with the cheap screws that came with these cabinet pulls. I ruined several handles getting screws stuck and stripped out. I then found a tap was needed, I used a #8-32 tap with T-handle to clean out the threads. Some cut really bad but working the tap in and back a couple turns worked wonders. I used #8-32 Philips pan head stainless screws purchased at Fastenal but any type would work that you can purchase locally. For my cabinet doors I went with 1-1/4" inch length screws and then for my drawers 2" length screws. This left at least 1/2" of thread to screw into the handles so it felt very secure and tightened nicely! I didn't mind the extra step as changing these out was very tedious so I did a few at a time now and then until all of them were completed. Still a good price for this set and quality seems very good otherwise. Really nice update to kitchen!

Poorly made, zero quality control
I couldn't figure out why I was having a difficult time attaching these to the drawers. I thought is was just "cheap" screws so I went out and spent almost $12 on decent screws. The quality screws didn't work well either. Some of them worked and some of them didn't, even on the same pull. So I put screws into the pulls. Some of them go in further than the others so the problem is that the holes in the pulls aren't all the same depth. Some of them have a good inch of screw showing after it's as far into the pull as I can put it. No cupboard door is that thick. I'm going to have to spend another $12 on shorter screws. I don't want to go more than 1/4 inch shorter because I need enough screw in the pull to handle normal open/shut. When I thought it was just cheap screws, I was able to "force" some of them but stripped the top of the screw doing so. So, not only did I had to order a 2nd set of pulls to, hopefully get 1/2 of them that are deep enough to handle the 1/4 inch shorter screws, but those that are already in are never going to come out. Poorly made, zero quality control.

Pulls are awesome but scews needed to be replaced
Pulls are awesome but scews needed to be replaced. They are not the right diameter size. They wobbled in the holes and were too short. Nothing a trip to lowes wouldn't fix. Very sturdy three piece build.

Excellent Solid Handles.
Firstly arrived earlier than schedule date.These handles are absolutely pure quality.Ordered 24 and the box was a fair weight, so my first impression was good solid item here.Each handle is polythene sealed with 2 sets of screws at different lengths which is a nice thought from the manufacturer.The handles themselves are solid bar and well finished they are spot on with stated hole fixing centres.Absolutely over the moon with them and worth every penny.Thanks ever so much to the seller.

Bit heavy for small cabinets in my opinion
Handles are of good quality and finish, but bit heavy in my opinion. I was going to use it for the upper cabinets of my in built wardrobe and decided not to put it I think it's weight will over the period impact the hinges and the cabinet doors may tilt over time.For larger cabinet doors, this would be perfect.
