Yes, those are "channels." Thank you for the photos. I was wondering if anyone owns them and has any advice about what they like about them or if anyone has the push pop and don't like etc.....thank you.

ok, sorry, thought you were looking for options.

I'd only add that constantly using fingers on those recesssed channels are going to get grimy. even handles get grimy and dirty. if you're using a laminate slab, should be a breeze to clean. If using a natural wood, it's prob going to wear the finish a lot sooner.

My touch cabinets, all doors and drawers push and pop out. Love them. No finger prints to wash off, just a tap with the back of my wrist it my fingers are messy and they open easily.

Also love my touch faucet. Dishwasher is old school pull open Bosch. But I love that too.

Back in the early 1990s I had what was considered modern and new - white laminate Euro style cabinets which had no hardware, just a narrow niche to put your fingers in to open the doors. It was fine. Did not notice them getting grimier than the rest of the kitchen.

I grew up with cabinets like that, and also had them in my current house for over a decade -- see Before pic here:

Obviously, these were old and ugly, but the finger pulls were great, just because you could grab them anywhere. I like my new handles too. Push-to-release is ok, but I find it pesky in the end tables that have it in my living room. I guess see if you can try the specific mechanism in a local kitchen showroom to see how things feel to you, but one can adapt easily.

Hmmm I was sure the white cabinets above are the exact reason hardware came back. One can usually see wright where your hand hits as the food/oil on them will wear off the poly finish over time. We have cabinets in our bathroom with no hardware. You push them to pop the open. They are painted and no one is eating there so the paint is holding up fine.

Great point. Yes, shaker has so many angles and harder to clean, I think. I love the idea above about using back of wrist to open. Great to know you love the push and pop system too! Thank you for the pictures all.

I have the same fronts as Christine’s lowers. No issues at all. Even with some of my heavier drawers. I only have two drawers in my lowers (compared to Christine’s 3-4 in the picture) so some of them are very heavy. Plus, I love how I don’t snag my pants on hardware ( Been there, done that) and how easy it is to clean the fronts. The only thing, and it is really minor, is that my fingers sometimes ‘slip’ when trying to pull the drawer if they are wet, say from doing dishes or similar.
