IKEA Drawer Fronts & Hardware Placement

I'm trying to move forward on my kitchen material choices and it's going s-l-o-w.

I am still considering IKEA because I just love the frameless cabinets. I'm not in love with any of their drawers but some are acceptable - partly.

I like the Ramsjo, but I do not like how I always seem to see where the handle placement is for the bottom 2 drawer- top part of drawer. If I can't install the handles in the middle like I usually see on other cabinet lines, I probably won't do IKEA cabinets.

My DH said that we can place a strip of wood across the back distributing the load of the pulling action across the cabinets instead of just where the screws go. It sounds like it would work, but I don't want to have any surprises down the line, and then my cabinet door has been discontinued.

Has anyone managed to place the drawer handles in the middle of the bottom 2 drawers? Any problems. Pics of hack?
