Depends

If the drawer is on top and there is a door under it, I'd say you are
correct. If, however, a large drawer is taking the place of what would
normally be a door, I'd say it should have a frame. IMO, position, rather
than size, should be the deciding factor.

In general, top plain, bottom frame looks good, (as in the photo) but one
special cabinet with a large drawer and a frame on top would look out of
place.
