I cannot believe this was all I had to do. I have been in this new house for 5 years. My original microwave, a very expensive Monogram convection ($1200)(800 power) has broken down 3 times now. The magnatron is covered by warranty for 10 years. Big deal, the house call & installation alone ran me $250 each time. I found a really nice Stainless Steel Panasonic at Sams Club (after this 3rd breakdown)for $148. This microwave while not convection (I never used the convection part in the orginal one anyway) has a large turntable which the other one didn't and was much larger inside capacity 1250 power. Being that it is a table model and the original was a built in is where my problem was. I searched all over town for a frame kit to no avail. Got on internet and found a few but were not sure if they would fit. One seller advised me against it. When I found the one on Amazon, I decided to take the chance. It arrived so fast and I had it up the same morning. I just had to call my husband when it came time for the muscle of putting the oven back in. He laughed and patted me on the back and said I did good. He saw me running all over town for a week and then took a chance and it was perfect. It is beautiful and strong and if my oven ever breaks again, I have the frame all ready in place. It looks like it came with the house. I can't be happier. Connie

Solid well made kit includes sheet metal baseplate and ducting to redirect microwave exhaust to front of cabinet.
Great fit and finish and installation very easy.

It came quickly and was very easy to install! I did it by myself.

For the riduculous amount of money you'd think they'd at least de-burr the edges and corners of this thing. After installation I found that a slight touch of a corner tears your skin open. Maybe if the corners were cut straight and aligned, there wouldn't be a sharp corner (actually all four corners) sticking out. I had to remove the trim and CAREFULLY file the corners and edges. Garbage production. The manufacturer should be ashamed. I wish I could bill them for my time.

The materials are good quality and installation was easy, although the instructions about installing the ducting on the microwave oven were a little vague.

The face trim comes pre-assembled and was slightly out of square, but that was easy to fix. Just be aware that you need to measure both top and bottom when centering the face trim on the cabinet.
