KEYAIIRA - Leather and Brass Drawer Pull - minimal furniture knobs modern kitchen handle pulls for cabinets farm house Scandinavian dresser hardware

Let me start by saying that I like kits; kits are easy and foolproof, right? That said, you are better doing it yourself for this item!First, though it is buried in the specs (I confirmed after the fact), the pictures and descriptions imply that this is a set of pulls. It's one (1) pull only. The order took quite a bit longer than it was supposed to and I was disappointed when it finally arrived to see only one pull in the shipment when I needed two.Next, before ordering a second one, I try installing the pull only to find that what I received is a very thin strip of leather, 7" long with 3 holes in it, a screw, a nut, and a washer. You fold the holes to overlap and insert the screw through the front and secure inside the cabinet with the nut and washer. The holes punched in the leather were not adequate and I had to really work to get the screw through all three holes. Once installed, the screw was much, much too long and stuck out inside the cabinet. My cabinets are standard thickness-solid wood in an older house (not new IKEA style that might be thinner) and standard knobs all fit as intended, so the screw provided is just blatantly the wrong size for the job. Also, the leather is so thin that you basically grab around the whole of the folded pieces to use the pull and then it slides around and kind of separates at the fold whenever you move it. With the bare screw head showing it's OK looking, as long as you don't use it, but it's not great. It looks a little sloppy to me.But now I have one pull and need another to match, AND I need different screws because the one provided is far too long. I start to go buy another pull but it just didn't make sense. This one pull cost $13. That's pretty good value for a set of pulls in a complete kit, which is what I expected. $26 plus a trip to get new screws for a set of so-so looking pulls- not so much. I gave up on using this pull and decided to make my own rather than pay for a matching one I don't really like.Here was my solution instead:**4 feet of 1" wide leather strap (Amazon) cost $12**6 pack of 1.5" 8/32 brass machine screws (Home Depot) cost $1.20**6 pack of brass 8/32 cap nuts (Home Depot) cost $1.47Pictures of both this item and mine attached.My leather is about twice as thick as the pulls provided, so folding over twice in the manner described doesn't work but you don't need it. Fold a 6 inch leather strap in half, punch one hole through the end of the two edges using a leather tool or nail and hammer, thread a 1 1/2 inch screw through the back (inside the cabinet) and through both holes of the folded leather and secure at the front with a cap nut. Now the pull is stiff and more like a looped pull, the screw is tight against the cabinet, and the front looks finished instead of showing a raw screw head. If you want a little more industrial look, you can get brass hex-style cap nuts from Home Depot for $0.57 each. The total cost for 2 pulls- less than $4. And I could still make 4 more and have a little leather left over. It's not a all-in-one kit but it took the same effort as purchasing this item on Amazon and then running to Home Depot for screws that fit. Punching 2 holes takes no longer than fighting with 3 that are too small. All in all, if the kit had been for two pulls and the screws were the right length, this item would likely have been worth it for convenience, even if the quality is pretty low. But all things considered, it's worth the extra effort to DIY.
