These are very heavy, sturdy knobs, and the sale price was incredible. They are simple, but quite elegant looking and greatly improved the look of my (formerly) frame-opened cupboards. I prefer knobs or pulls to keep the finger marks and wear off the cupboards. But I didn't expect these knobs to add such finished look to my kitchen. Who would have thought that knobs would add that much to a look! As noted earlier, these are very dark, almost black. But that is what I wanted. Much better quality than expected, and as good as those at twice the price!
