CHI Good Questions: Good Online Selection of Drawer Hardware?

2008-05-05-knobs.jpgSarah sent us a good question: "Does anyone know of a website that offers a huge selection of nice drawer pulls? I have a dresser that needs makeover to make it a bit spiffier, but the handles are an odd length. I'm trying to find some nice, unique ones without drilling and filling holes."

One of our favorite spots in Chicago for a vast selection of drawer hardware is Clark & Barlow, so if Sarah is in town, we'd suggest skipping the internet and stopping by in person (they don't have online shopping). For a not extensive, but interesting, selection online, we'd suggest taking a peek at Anthropologie.

Please share your online sources for drawer pulls and knobs with Sarah in the comments....

I like eBay for unique hardware. Sometimes some really great variety. Etsy should also have something funky too.

I do a lot of my home improvement shopping online, but I just did a dresser rehab and found that I needed to shop for drawer pulls in person, because I wanted ones that felt good in my hand as well as looked good. When I was browsing at a local home decor store, I was surprised that some knobs that looked good felt insubstantial, had hard edges, or were otherwise just awkward. A small thing, but if it's a dresser you use every day, you might find, as I did, that it's worth the extra effort.

Also, I was looking for drawer pulls a while ago for some non-standard drilled holes and found some good ones when I Googled 'adjustable drawer pulls.' Haven't used them, but thought I'd mention them.

I can second the endorsement of coolknobsandpulls.com--great selection and speedy delivery. I've also purchased casters from their sister site, coolcasters.com and they're just as comprehensive, just as prompt.

Go Knobs is good. Also try Hafele or Sugatsune. Both have online catalogs if you are looking for more modern/contemporary architectural hardware.
