Are the drawer openings that serve as handles shaped in wire, or is the rattan simply woven like that?

The reeds that form the vertical supports for the rattan weaving shape the handle and are covered in wrapped "rattan"..the rattan is actually more like stained paper..not a sturdy piece..but fine for hub and me..will not take wear and tear..I would not have bought it again...

The handles are part of the drawer, sort of carved in. The drawers are very flimsy and do not hold much.the piece itself is nice.

The bottom of the handles (or underneath) are rubber or silicon. They are perfect to work with and require no mitt.

The knives' handles are solid but flat rather than rounded. They have a nice weight to them. There is a serrated edge for cutting throught meat nicely.

I have these handles founded the drawers in my closet ... and they look amazing but they are big!!! In kitchen they would be nice in my opinion too. If you have the opportunity to return it you risk nothing. I hope my opinion will help You.

I have the white version and the handles are silver but darkened a bit, like aged. They are silver though, not a bronze. I love them. I love this chest of drawers.

There are small slots on the sides of the basket where the ends of the handle fits into. Honestly I never use the handle. It looks nice but it isn't very functional. It is a thin wire that is flimsy and barely supports the weight of the basket when it is empty. I just keep the handle on there for show. I pick up the basket as a whole. The rest of the basket is high quality and constructed well. I will take a picture of the side of the basket where the handles fit into. The handle simply slides into this area. If it were a more sturdy and thicker rod then it would be more useful. But for my purposes it is just fine. I mostly just leave the basket mounted on my rear bike rack.

The handles are riveted on, very strong bond, no movement whatsoever. I am guessing the handles are probably steel, as they match the pots perfectly, but I'm pretty sure the handles are also hollow, as they stay very cool at all times. I HIGHLY recommend this set!!

It is as shown in the picture. I do not recommend this item, as the handles fall into the pot all the time and get in the way of removing the jars. The jars rattle around on the rack. I am getting a different one for this year.

It's made out of a sturdy hard plastic...made to look like rattan. It's actually looks pretty good and it's comfortable too. But if you're looking for the real thing, this is not it.

The handle appears to be the same material as found on the base. It is molded on and has a rubbery feel so it is non-slip.I have given two of these boxed graters as gifts, one to my son in San Francisco and the other to my daughter-in-law in Fresno and they love them.

The handles on the knives are not conclave. Just forks and spoons have a flatter feel to them.

The handle is oval shaped. It seems to be solid. I like it, and will probably get another.

No the handle seems to be solid almost all the way to the whisk wires. I just tried filling the handle with water and none went in.

Molded (good quality) plastic or similar composite material. We have had no issues with the knives or the handles after 2 1/2 years of use.

I do not really know because I bought the bag for occasional travel and have not really used it yet. But the handles seem fine and sturdy. They are two layers thick of the denim-like fabric and feel as if there is a liner layer in between. They are carefully sewed in, inside the pockets, and they could be reattached if they came off with your personally crumby sewing job well-hidden inside the pockets.

the handles are fixed, made of solid plastic, pretty wide, kind of like the handle on a metal trash can lid (only plastic). They are not adjustable and do not "fit" to the individual user. I'm an average sized man and have no problems. Someone with small hands may find them a bit loose, nothing a pair of garden gloves wouldn't help.

Well, I have the pot right in front of me and I'm not sure. There are some indentations around the edge of the handles that would make me think they are riveted, but the indentations don't go all the way through. The inside is completely smooth. It looks like the side handles are one piece with a base plate giving them lots of strength where they are attached. The lid handle appears to either be welded or riveted like the side handles but without the base plate.
