Quick question -- cabinet pull on narrow pull-out spice rack

10 years ago

Our renovated kitchen has a narrow pull out spice rack like the one in the image. My husband and I are having a disagreement on where to place the cabinet pull (might be a knob, might be a pull). I think it should be at the top, probably centered, but he's concerned that there might be too much pressure on the hardware if the pull isn't centered vertically (so midway down the drawer). To me, the hardware is so well designed that it shouldn't be a problem (and I don't like the way it looks). Thoughts?

without being able to look at yours in person, i think it would be ok. unlike a trash pull out, where all of the force is transferred to where the front panel meets the base, this is attached to several shelves. and it shouldnt have too much weight on it. i think a pull centered at the top will be fine.

I think top is best, although a vertically oriented handle might be better than a knob. (Do you have a flat or Shaker front panel?)

Otherwise, definitely top, or you'd have to bend way over just to open it, even if what you want is right up top!
