The quality of this product is considerably better than the cheap assemble yourself stuff, but also far short of high quality. The fit it good and the design is good in that all the self assembly points are completely out of sight. The quality deficiency is in the feel of drawer and door operation.
The assembly suffers from two things. The assembly directions start with an admonition that you should read the directions carefully -- the catch is that there is not a single word in the directions -- it's just pictures.
The assembly was very well thought out and the ease of it was designed into the product. There was one major snag. I don't know if this was simply an error in my unit or an outage of the right part or what, but here's what I got. The drawer slides were clearly not the ones that were designed to be in the product. I'm very handy and have lots of tools, so I was able to make it work (took considerably more time than it should, but the result is fine). Others should not expect a good outcome if they encounter the same wrong part.
Despite the problem, I've ordered another one.
