Big Drawers & Singular Cup Pulls
Comments (15)Oh I like the long ones shown in Segbrown's kitchen. Sabjimata, if the ones you are looking at from RH are like those, I think they would work nicely for one pull on the large drawers. However, I would go with something different (like a knob) on the small drawers or the two different bin pulls might get a little busy. Just my opinion. :) We actually have two bin pulls on our large drawers, but the glides are so nice that I could see how they would easily open with just one in the middle. Good luck!...See More3' or 4' pull for 18' drawer? And 1 or 2 pulls for 26.5' drawer?
Comments (12)We have 2 pulls on the cabs that are 30 or wider and 1 pull on everything else. I find that with the smooth operation of our cabs that having 2 pulls is nice. I can reach a pull from either side of the drawer and never use 2 pulls at the same time. It helps if you have a few people in the kitchen at the same time, esp for the 36" wide drawers. I also like the double pull look better on the wide and deep drawers. Most don't do a 4 stack of drawers that wide, so I am not sure how a single pull would work in that instance. These are 30" wide drawers with 2 pulls. I can't picture them with only 1. Notice that neither pull is very far from the center:...See MoreHandles or knobs on shallow five piece drawers?
Comments (4)Bumping for you since we need to make this decision very soon. I think we're going to do a regular pull. I skimmed though my houzz ideabook and this is the closest I could find. Most are all pulls, all cups or all knobs.

Comments (8)I asked a very similar question the other day, but not nearly as clearly as you did. I appreciate seeing everybody's pictures. Mgkinz, I don't fully understand your last post. A raised panel versus a shaker panel is more or less just a case of how much profile there is on the panel. In neither case, is the door one piece of wood. A "true" shaker-style door is actually a raised panel turned backwards, with the raised side facing in. A slab door or drawer, however, is a solid piece of wood. Plywood is generally more stable (and heavier) than solid wood, so if I had a choice of materials for a flat panel, I might very well prefer plywood. I would prefer a reverse raised panel to plywood, however, since I think it is more authentic. On the subject of drawer fronts, my KD recommended five-piece drawer fronts because they are less prone to racking/twisting then slabs, especially on the big drawers....See Morebreezygirl
