Its wide, stable base also makes it one of the more visually grounded pieces to anchor a mixed set of taller and shorter animal knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery and playroom drawers wanting a solid, low-profile animal grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in:\u003c\/strong\u003e beach wood, walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e the giraffe, elephant, and lion knobs for a safari-themed set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Material — natural wood; Finish — brushed matt; Colors — beach wood, walnut; Size — 70mm x 50mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Hippo Wood Knob?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hippo Wood Knob is a wood cabinet knob from the Brass Essence range.
