Too many rejects. Posts not level. Order WAY WAY WAY more than you need.
I'm torn on this one quite a bit. How many stars do you give to a product that looks great, feels heavy, appears to be very high quality, has a great price....but has a rejection rate of 40%? That's what I found with these drawer pulls. I bought 60 pulls at first (two 25 packs, one 10 pack) of the 5" center to center drawer pulls. I checked all of the reviews and knew that I had to watch out for the posts being off a bit. But man, I didn't expect to have to pull out THAT many from the stock!
The test is really easy - lay the pull on the table and see if they rock at all. Press down on each post and each end of the pull bar. If there's any significant movement, reject it. If you have significant movement and you install anyway, the pull bar will not be perfectly level. Of course, the term "significant" is completely subjective. I accepted some that had slight movement, but some of these rocked like you wouldn't believe! I won't mess with taking videos, just go look at other negative reviews. They do a good job of demonstrating the same issues I have in the ones I received.
I know what you're thinking, I'll just order an extra pack, combine to keep the best ones, send the rest back, right? Well, I did the same thing. After seeing the issues I had with so many of these I ordered another 25 pack thinking I'd get enough to do my whole house. Nope. Most of the ones in the new 25 pack were bad enough to reject. Now I'm stuck here with 85 drawer pulls, still not enough to do what I need, and now I'm fighting with Amazon for a return.
My suggestion? Either pay way more for something else or order 2-3 times what you need and mess with returning the rest.
Edit: I ended up returning my unused, rejected pulls and ordering more. Once you get through the rejects they look and feel nice. But it's a lot of trouble just to get a product the way it's been sold to you.
