The new shape looks great with the shape of the drawers. I liked the before too but these suits it better, I think. Also, I bet the mandalas were so hard to take photos of without them looking like they were wonky, that's tough to do.
They did look wonky and that may have been the issue with selling this. The other handles would never have been my first choice but they weren’t too bad I suppose. I love the dowel handles though and I’ll definitely be making more and experiment with different materials🌸😊
