I'm using these approximately 8" handles on my lower cabinets. They are high quality but hollow. https://sugatsune.com/products/productdetails.cfm?catid=2&subcatid=1&productid=DIH

There is a matching appliance pull, very close in size, but the extension is about 1" deeper, which means the shadows it casts on the cabinet doors will be different from all the adjoining cabinets. The shadows already bother me. Had I realized I'd have them, I would have gone with routed channels or minimal tabs.

The owner of the cabinet company said that high quality handles, even if hollow, are not a problem on dishwashers. Sugatsume, the manufacturer, say not to use their handles as appliance pulls. The cabinets are custom and very well built.

What's your experience and recommendation? The dishwasher is lightly used by adults.

I can't ask my KD, who left the country halway through the project.
