The packaging was made of thin cardboard which had split on a couple sides when the box arrived. The styrofoam inside was falling apart and has left my house looking like an exploded snow globe. The damaged packaging meant several of the pieces had chipped corners, and one corner of the countertop was warped and doesn't lie flush with the cabinets. The paint layer will also chip off if you sneeze at it.
The instructions for assembly were straightforward, similar to what you'd see at the Swedish furniture store. The hardware is not top quality (flimsy), but works well enough. The pre-drilled holes were all mis-aligned just the tiniest bit--millimeters in most cases--such that nothing fits perfectly. Cam locks don't catch the screw heads on some pieces because the hole is a little too high and you have to loosen the screw a bit to get the head far enough into the hole.
One of the drawers scrapes the bottom of the counter top as it closes. The tilted trash cabinet scrapes against one side. The spice drawer slide-out doesn't close flush with the rest of the cabinet doors. All of it is fixable with a little wood filler and a drill to move the holes (which I did for the most egregious issues), but if I wanted to DIY, i wouldn't have purchased premade furniture in the first place.
Also, contrary to the pictures, there are only drawer slides on one side (left) of the slide-out, and all of the weight of the spice rack and contents will rest on that one side--there is no support on the bottom or right side. Beware of putting in too much weight.
