Recommendations for big drawer hardware, please ...

Hi! I'm doing mostly large drawers like this in my kitchen (very few lower cabinets). What hardware works best? I would prefer two smaller knobs like this but I have heard that there can be problems with drawers sagging when you don't use a large, central pull. Do you have any thoughts? Thank you so much!

Drawer runners have come a long way which takes the worry away. For function I prefer a long center pull. I use on a 24" or larger a 6"-8" pull and for 36" wide drawers a 10"-12" pull but for looks two knobs look great as seen in the photo. There is not right or wrong Courtney - do what is pleasing to your eye and feels good in your hands.
