If I had horizontal handles like yours on the cupboards too, I would definetly get all the handles to line up. But all my other handles are vertical, so I think it looks silly. I will think about it tonight, but like you it annoys me the handles are not in the middle. I would love to take poll. My cabinetmaker says he's dammed if he does and dammed if he dosnt, lucky for me my plans show the handles in the middle and they will change them. I also think its a learning experience for the company to next time show the plans with the handles top and centre if that what their specifications really are.
