f/u #2 - kitchen island knobs/pulls

[Deleted]

First, question on knobs.  Do you think it would be a bad idea to get a square knob?  H is thinking I'd be frustrated adjusting them and make sure they are all perfectly square with the cabinet.  And that I'll be frustrated doing that every time any of them become loose.  Thoughts?


Here's the kitchen island:

Front / Sitting Area Side ---  Should I put smaller knobs for the cabinet doors under the overhang?  With stools and the overhang lip/band, I don't think it matters. Right?






Back / Prep Area Side ---  On the dummy cabs on left, I don't remember our final design on it.  But the first 24" will all be dummy panels.  For the drawer above the storage pullout, I'm thinking of using a knob since a pull (even a 3" OC) would look so cramped inside the frame.  I'll probably go and buy a 3" OC just to make sure a know is better.





Left Side ----   I think nothing unusual here. 






Right Side ----  I guess nothing unsual here too.

I've never thought about square knobs rotating, but it would piss me off to have to continually re-adjust things. If you're anything like me, it might not be the right solution. Note to self: avoid square knobs.

Also, because I'm apparently 12 - I am giggling uncontrollably at the phrase "square knob". Like, I woke up the cat and he's just staring at me like I'm an idiot.

I've never had a knob come loose on me. Ever. The original stuff from the 70's to the brand new hardware we put on the new vanity and no problems. I would think on brand new cabinets with nice new hardware it wouldn't be an issue.

The storage pullout in your second pic is the only one that looks a little odd. But it's because it's so skinny. So yeah either go with a knob or a small pull there.

I have some cheap square knobs on our bifold doors, and they turn all the time. Drives me crazy. I believe higher end hardware like RH and others put little pegs to keep the knobs from spinning. I'd just make sure that if you do go with square, that they have something like that.
