A drawer option would've been sweet. I love my 5.25" drawer. Perfect for flash drives, dongles, extra screws, little screwdriver, or a hiding spot almost nobody would know is there.
I mean even if you could remove them, the problem is that beige is not always the same beige: same problem you had 30 years ago.
The colors would never, at any point, remotely match the rest of the beige, and it'd be nice if a premium product that exists only for the aesthetics, would have just you know, done that last itty bitty little thing so it'd look right (from at least a distance) and be color matched.
