I've done that. Ikea's boxes are pretty good and their drawer hardware is fantastic.
I made the doors/drawer fronts myself, but you can also have them made by someone. All in all, it's a pretty cost-efficient way to get a custom looking kitchen. People hear Ikea and think the quality will be junk, but their kitchen stuff is actually excellent quality for the most aprt.
