I need some elegant door stops

[Steve1]

I am working on a set of nightstands with inset doors.
I realize now that I will need a set of hardstops mounted to the lower and upper crosspiece as stops for the doors.
I have some Bubinga and Pau Ferro that I could make some rectangular blocks, but don't really like how rectangular blocks will look.
I have some 1-1/4" diameter bronze bar that I could make something like THESE FASTCAPS, maybe with an O-ring groove on them as a bumper --- a little more elegant.
I know I am over-thinking this, but just the same, anybody got some ideas for elegant door stops ?

If you position the stops at the top of the doors instead of the bottom then they won’t be seen.

I designed mine to be seen (when door is opened).

My thought too. And the FastCap ones come in a few colors so even less conspicuous.

Addendum: I will amend that, just brown, white or clear. But if tucked up above, it will be out of sight except when you are doing your nightly prayers.

We use the clear Fastcaps. 99% of our builds are inset.

I have done this dozens of times, often with bifold doors, and pocket doors. The adjustable offset Fast Cap units, that Packard showed work well. It is very often helpful to have stops at the top and bottom. The closing tension of the hinges can pull the rest of the door deeper into the cabinet, if used only at one or the other.

I agree, even though mine are not big doors, best with stops at top and bottom.

EDIT: But I suppose just one set of stops hidden under the upper shelf would be an elegant solution.

I don't think this method is for me, but I did find an interesting idea on Youtube.
He finds that one magnet in the door and one magnet in the cabinet makes the magnets line up with centers exactly aligned (as opposed to one magnet and one steel striker, which does not position the door as repeatably, according to this fellow.

What I like about the FastCap system, is the ease, and solidity of the adjustments for depth. I have the same type of system on my miter trimmer and it has not gone out of adjustment in over 30 years (though the last 10 years it has seen light usage.)
