Finishing up a dresser and the drawers are 30” wide by 9.25” tall. Is there a rule of thumb for what size pulls to use? One versus two? |

Strictly an “eye of the beholder” issue. IIWM I would use two pulls, each 1/4 of the drawer width (7 1/2” in your case) from the edge: -- Jerry, making sawdust professionally since 1976 |

I have 24 inch wide, went with 7” on the handle part with 2 inches on the supports. This size fits my hand with wiggle room and worked with smaller drawers as small as 11 inches wide. As others have said was an eye of the beholder deal. -- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way. |

I did custom hand made iron pulls on my Kitchen last year. Looked at store bought double and single pulls and just didn’t like anything we saw. So we chose a single, At 12” long. My drawers ranged from 20” up to 36” . So I think its all about what looks good to you. No real rule to follow. -- John |
