Why do you want to do that?

Since the HW is available - I am sure someone could fabricate drawers - but that time - I would have to think you'd be better off just going custom.

I don't like the look of the metal drawers. It's one of the 2 reasons I haven't gone to look at Ikea cabinets. I have a local source for the wood drawers at a good price point.

Do you mean wood insides? Because the outside drawer fronts are wood, not metal.

The drawers are why I haven't looked at Ikea. It's not the quality of the metal interior drawers, it's the look I don't like. I prefer wood drawers.

However, we had a cabinet maker tell us he made cabinets for 30+ years and he said "buy Ikea cabinet boxes and add your own custom drawer fronts and doors. Ikea makes a good quality cabinet." We considered this, however, I just don't like how industrial it all looks internally. So, I wondered if replacing these drawers with wood ones could work. The first choice was to buy RTA from Conestoga, Barker or etc. I guess I'll just stick with plan "A".

Yes, in your situation I think that's best. Not everyone likes the same things and I strongly suspect you'd always be a little worried subconsciously about an ikea kitchen if you had one.
