I will be centering my pulls. I have a friend whose pulls were installed at the upper edge of her Brookhaven drawers, right on the "frame" around the recessed panel, and to me it looks like a mistake. I know it is done this way--there were a lot of similar installations in the Brookhaven view book--but it's not to my taste.

We will be centering our pulls as well. I initially thought the same as you, but our plans showed them centered on the drawers, and when I held them up them centered on the drawers last night, they do look much better.

I had read here, and our cab installer agreed, in order for the handles to look centered when viewing them from a standing position, to place the handles slightly above the actual center line. The brain registers them as centered because of the viewing angle (placing them at actual center can cause them to look slightly below center apparently). If I recall, for drawer stacks of varying sizes, the exact placement of the handles were adjusted up a little more or less until they looked right. E.G. when the bottom drawer was significantly deeper than the others, a noticeably above center placement on that deeper drawer looked more balanced to us than a more centered placement.

Here are some pics:

I also read slightly above center
