This trim kit is good manufacture quality and looks good when installed. But beware...if the cabinet holding your microwave is not precisely the size indicated for installation you will not be able to install the kit as specified. This is because the hangers for the trim frame plug into receptacles that must be installed in precise locations at each corner of the cabinet hole. If the hole is the wrong size you can't attach the recepticles in their proper location and the frame won't hang as designed. I had to chuck the hangers and design my own hanging method using wood blocks and drilling small holes into the frame edges. Further, the frame comes with a sheet metal baffle that is intended to be fixed to the microwave side vents and direct exhaust forward (from side to the front) - so moisture won't build up in the cabinet. This adds to the microwave's dimensions and presents another problem if the cabinet dimensions are smaller than specified in the trim kit directions. Worst yet, the sheet metal baffle is supposed to attach to the microwave using one of the appliance's rear screws, per the directions. But these screws are tamper-proof, requiring a specialized torx driver to remove or tighten. I had to eliminate the baffle as I could not attach it. Needless to say whoever designed this trim kit ought to go back to engineering school for remedial training. The design is awful!Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Panasonic 30-Inch Trim Kit for 1.5 cuft Panasonic Stainless Convection Microwave Ovens, NN-TK913S" are high quality item.
