Assembly is the critical thing with these things to get them to last, insist your installer glues every joint and dowel. A dob of silicon on the back of all drawer runners and hinges will help hold them in the dodgy MDF they use.
The other thing do to if doing the kitchen yourself is seal all the cabinet bare chipboard edges with PVA (the same stuff that you would use to glue the joints). This will help prevent cabinet water damage.
