I would be concerned with the piece being too top-heavy once the drawers get filled up. A consideration with the traditional drawers-on-bottom-shelves-on-top design has always been to lower the center of gravity. You also have to think about how the top drawer would seriously offset the balance of the piece when it was full *and* open.
