These are a beautiful modern take on the classic cup handle, we have shaker style units that go all the way to the ceiling and standard size cup handles would have looked 'lost'. The colour is exactly what we wanted and being a dull finish they don't show fingerprints so don't require daily polishing, which is always a bonus in a busy kitchen. The handles have a feel of real quality about them, they're a great weight and feel strong without being heavy or chunky. They are smooth to the touch, no sharp or rough edges and they're very comfortable to use. While these are not the cheapest handles around, you get what you pay for and I would recommend these handles in a heartbeat!
