The Koala Knob rounds out a soft-eared koala face in glazed ceramic, fixed on a brushed zinc-alloy post, at the same 62mm x 36mm footprint as the rest of the animal series — sized to stay legible as a koala at drawer-front distance rather than turning into a blur of grey. The rounded ears and gentle expression are moulded in relief before glazing, so the shape holds its form under the finish rather than flattening into a printed outline.

The face is moulded and glazed in ceramic, which holds the rounded ear shapes and gives the surface its slight sheen; behind it, a zinc-alloy post in a brushed matt finish takes the actual screw fixing, so the ceramic front carries none of the mechanical load from opening and closing the drawer.

It sits in the same four-animal set as the lion, fox, and panda knobs — same construction, same size, same fixing depth — so a nursery or playroom chest of drawers can carry one animal per drawer without any knob sitting proud or recessed against the others. Its neutral grey-and-white palette also means it doesn't compete with brighter accent colours already in a nursery, unlike the panda's higher-contrast tone.

Because the koala's rounded, soft-toned face reads as gentler than the lion's more angular mane, it tends to suit nursery furniture specifically, while the set as a whole works across children's rooms more broadly.

• Best for: nursery drawers and softer, calmer-themed children's furniture
• Pairs well with: the lion, fox, and panda knobs from the same series
• Fixing: single-point, standard drawer-front knob mounting

Specification: Material — ceramic face on a zinc-alloy mounting post; Finish — brushed & matt; Size — 62mm x 36mm x 25mm depth.

Does the koala knob use the same fixing as the other animal knobs?

Yes, all four knobs in this series — lion, koala, fox, panda — share the same 62 x 36mm ceramic-on-zinc-alloy-post construction, so they fix and sit identically across a run of drawers.

Is the ceramic face likely to chip with regular handling?

Glazed ceramic resists everyday scuffing well, but like any ceramic piece it isn't chip-proof against a hard direct knock. Regular pulling and turning by hand is well within what the knob is built for.

What's a good use for this knob beyond a nursery?

It works equally well on playroom storage, a child's bookshelf with drawers, or any furniture piece where a softer, rounded character face suits the room better than a plain knob.
