Hi,
I'm about to install drawer pulls on new kitchen cabinets and I'm trying to determine where to locate the pulls, vertically on the drawer front panels. I know I want the pulls installed near the center of the panel, not near the top or the bottom. Tom Silva of This Old House recommends locating the pull on the top drawer in the center of the drawer front panel, but then locating the pulls on the lower drawers slightly higher than the center. He recommends that second drawer from the top have the pull 1/4" higher than the center and the third drawer from the top have the pull 1/2" higher than the center. He claims it give a better look. I suspect he means that since you are standing up and looking down at these drawer pulls, then it appears that the pulls are all located in the center with this slightly "off center" orientation. That interpretation is just a guess on my part.
What do you guys think? Does Tom's suggestion have merit? Or, would you recommend locating all the drawer pulls in the center of the drawer front panels?
Thanks.
