Sometimes it can seem like there’s no middle ground when it comes to cabinet hardware. The cool-kid picks are certainly design forward, but they’re also quite costly. The most affordable are just that and nothing more: They often skew cheap, and that’s not only in price. So we’re always scanning home tours, renos, and retailers to seek out the best of the bunch. That means the products that balance quality, material, budget, and style.
Recently we’ve noticed one name pop up again and again, and not because it’s new. Hickory Hardware, a U.S.-based company that has been around since 1893, still designs and makes all of its products in-house in Michigan. To start, we’ve seen them in a Minneapolis kitchen makeover as well as stories about the best rental upgrades. (Pro tip: Plug in Hickory Hardware knobs or pulls into the Amazon search bar to turn up more styles than show up on the company’s home page.) Here are the eight we’re feeling right now, including a contemporary take on oak and a favorite of Lone Fox.
Hickory Hardware Piper Cabinet Knobs
Hickory Hardware Piper Cabinet Knobs, Set of 10, Amazon
These Domino reader–favorite knobs have a lot going for them: The design is versatile and timeless, it’s available in three different finishes, and all the hardware needed comes in your package. It’s also pretty rare to find anything on Amazon with a full 5 stars; the Piper is reviewed as “beautiful and sturdy knobs” and “heavyweight.”
Hickory Hardware Williamsburg Cabinet Pulls
Hickory Hardware Williamsburg Cabinet Pull, Set of 1, Amazon
These pulls scratch that traditional itch without being too ornate. They’d look great paired with a bridge faucet and marble countertops—and the sizing and finish variations offer ample options to fit your space. You can order one or 10, and each is just $6.
Hickory Hardware Refined Rustic Cabinet Pulls
Hickory Hardware Refined Rustic Cabinet Pull, Set of 1, Amazon
We love the look of this collection from Hickory, perfect for an Arts and Crafts structure or cozy cottage—and it doesn’t hurt that these pulls have more than 2,000 positive reviews. The iron style makes it look like you sourced these from a vintage bin, and when they’re designer approved as a rental upgrade, what are you waiting for?
Hickory Hardware Natural Woodcraft Cabinet Pulls
Hickory Hardware Natural Woodcraft Cabinet Pull, Set of 1, Amazon
We don’t often see genuine wood hardware in today’s kitchens, but these natural oak handles lend a Scandi-modern feel in their simplicity. “They feel really good in your hand,” Victoria Sass, founder of Prospect Refuge Studio, told Domino. You can finish or stain them, and there are even matching knobs available. If you’re looking for more options, there’s another intriguing shape in the same wood, too.
Hickory Hardware American Diner Cabinet Knobs
Hickory Hardware American Diner Cabinet Knobs, Set of 1, Amazon
If you’re seeking a retro vibe, these knobs are it. Harking back to 1950s and 1960s classics, the three-ridged edge is lighthearted without being too nostalgic. They’d look great in an all–stainless steel kitchen, too.
Hickory Hardware Midway Cabinet Knobs
Hickory Hardware Midway Cabinet Knob, Set of 1, Amazon
If a touch of glam is what you’re after, the Midway group has it in bounds. Transparent acrylic tops a metal post, and reviewers love the knobs for how quickly they can upgrade a dresser or cabinets.
Hickory Hardware Pipeline Collection Knobs
Hickory Hardware Pipeline Collection Knob, Set of 1, Amazon
We like that this one is industrial in design without reading “I was a plumber in a previous life.” The Pipeline knobs would fit in well in a loft with exposed brick, sure, but they’ll also hold their own in a home office or bathroom with a darker palette.
Hickory Hardware American Diner Cabinet Pulls
Hickory Hardware American Diner Cabinet Pull, Set of 1, Amazon
The pulls from the American Diner collection call to mind those that Real Housewives of New York star Brynn Whitfield used in her New York City apartment. The cup shape would look great in a bungalow, and this one gets high marks from reviewers for being “very elegant” and “great quality.”
