A:  The handles on the fridge I received are metal. Chrome plated. They are thick and well made. They are firmly attached to the door. There is no flex or give when you pull on them with reasonable force (more than needed to open the door but not enough to damage the door). I am very happy with the materials used on my fridge and expect it will last for decades. The manufacturer can change materials at any time so be sure to check with Unique before you buy if non-metal handles are a deal breaker.
