Is this possible/would it look ok ?

I love Ikea Hemnes furniture, it is in our spare room and DD's room in white. I love the brown/grey colour however they do not do this in that colour and we have cream glass and oak sliding wardrobes.
I was thinking of getting the white (again,) two of these and the large 8 drawer chest and replacing the tops with some sort of oak vaneer. It would then match in with the wardrobes and would gives the painted look. DH has a friend who is a chippy and may be able to replicate the tops in some way.
Do you think this would look OK and is feasible ?
We currently have Ikea Malm in oak but we are changing the decoration at the moment and the handle less style will look a bit odd.

Thanks Mis that actually looks quite nice, like the knobs rather than the handles. Warming to the idea, would have me a bit of money too. Off to google more images .

Good idea Mis. Not sure they are the right shape though as they don't have legs but something to think about. Maybe round chrome knobs !

Could you not just drill some holes in the malm drawers and try some handles on them? If it doesn't work, nothing lost.
