DIY Kitchens and quality

in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I’ve received my new kitchen and I’m not impressed at DIY Kitchens. 

The shelves aren’t sealed properly at the end (pic two).

There is glue or something at the end of the cupboard. The right hand side has a rogue shelf on it and it’s also a microwave unit, but still, the finish is awful. 

Any thoughts?

    Also ignore the dust, it’s just been fitted and I need to wait for the dust to settle.

    I wouldn't be happy with that workmanship. I feel like I've had a lucky escape now!

    So much to read, so little time.

    Well they are cheap… and thankfully I don’t see this, but I do think there are better.
