This wooden kitchen is the perfect item for people who don't have a huge amount of space and don't want a giant plastic kitchen taking up room. It was pretty simple to put together and has enough features to keep my daughter interested (phone, clock, dials, oven, fake water dispenser, etc.) without driving me insane (nothing makes annoying sounds). Best of all, she can enjoy having a kitchen without it monopolizing our entire basement.

My little boy cooks us meals all day long. He never gets bored with any of the features. One of the best investments I've made.

I bought this toy kitchen for our granddaughter's 2nd birthday and she immediately went to work - putting Elmo in the microwave & calling Mom on the phone. She also received pots & pans and some "cutting food" which she also put to good use immediately. She is in "prime" time for mimicry and this is a great outlet. Very sturdy, too - no way can she destroy it yet it's well-balanced and light enough that it can't hurt her either. I'd call this a 5-star toy for the toddler set. I have 2 older granddaughters who have had similar sets for years and still love to play with them.

We bought this kitchenette for our 3 year old daughter for Christmas this year, we ordered it way ahead of time (mid October) and it came very quickly. My husband and I assembled it as soon as we got it, ostensibly because we wanted to make sure it went together well, thereby heading off any Christmas morning heartbreaks, but really because we wanted to see what it looked like all put together. It's a good thing we did, because it turns out, ours had a defective leg and was, therefore, impossible to assemble. We called the manufacturer (as the intructions recommend), and they were unhelpful. We then called the seller (as the instructions specifically say not to do) and they were amazing. They shipped an entirely new set out that very day, no questions asked, and told us to just keep the old one, or toss it out, whatever. I would absolutely buy from them again. The kitchenette itself is extremely cute, it's got lots of fun features, it looks nice, and it's a great size for our not-so-spacious apartment. Because it's so slender and tall, I worried about my 18 month old tank of a son tipping it over on himself (the whole thing weighs about 50 lbs), but it's very bottom heavy and sturdy and he doesn't seem to be able to budge it. All in all, it's a wonderful toy.

My 2 1/2 year old received this for Christmas and plays with it every day. Plenty of features to keep little ones busy. Assembly took some time but all of the parts were clearly labelled and directions easy to follow. The piece is very sturdy and good-looking. One thing to note is that due to the compact size, some of the larger popular accessories don't fit inside the oven or microwave (Melissa & Doug pizza pan, cookie sheet). That doesn't seem to bother my son - he plays with them anyway. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a compact play kitchen!

i love this little kitchen! great quality and my 2 year old liked it the minute i pulled the pieces out of the box. The assembly was simple and took about 30 minutes. The instructions are clear with good pictures of how to put it together. I like how the little shelves slide in and out, the faucet turns side to side, the sink can pop out, the doors all have magnets that keep them closed, the stove knobs turn and the ice maker lever pushes back like a real one, also the hands on the clock move. My child just loves this kitchen. Her favorite thing to do right now is open and close all the doors. It looks really nice too (not a big tacky hunk of plastic) and it's the perfect size. I highly recommend this product

i bought this kitchenette for 3rd birthday of my daughter. I did a complex research on internet and this one came out as the best option and I am happy I decided to buy this one. She was just so excited. I love the design, the size is just right, my girl is rather tall so I was afraid it may be to little, but it is not. Both of my kids can play at the same time and do not fight as they can stand each on one side of the kitchen. It looks to be of a very good quality (and is not made in China) and durable. It doesn`t require as much space as other full size kitchen toys, but it does the same job and provides the same fun. When not in use, we just pusch it to the wall, hide all the dishes and cutting food in the "oven or fridge". My kids love it and so do I.

Bought this kitchen for my 1.5 year old little girl. Already after the first day I can see that many more hours of fun will come from this toy! It didn't take my husband too long to put together, maybe 2ish hours. It seems very sturdy and I love the compact size. My only complaint is the size of the shelf in the oven and fridge. We bought my daughter the Melissa and Dough apple pie set to go with the kitchen, but the apple pie won't even fit on the oven shelf. My daugter got very frustrated by this! I just wish the self was a bit deeper!

Very durable, great for imaginary play! I like the smaller size so it fits in our kitchen and is not in the way. It is not an eye sore!

My 1.5 year old daughter got this kitchen from Santa Clause for Christmas. I can not tell you how many hours upon hours I spent researching Kitchens. First I went with a KidKraft Pink Kitchen. The company I purchased the KidKraft kitchen from informed me after I purchased it that it wouldn't be in stock until Feb. So I opted for a refund and purchased this kitchen the same day. The next morning, I was informed that the kitchen was actually in stock and they had already shipped it out. So to make a long story (somewhat) short, I ended up with 2 kitchens, the KidKraft and this one. The KidKraft was given to me for free, but I liked this one so much that I sold the KidKraft and kept this one.

My daughter LOVES this kitchen. She is a very smart little girl, and I was kind of worried that she would have a hard time pretending to make food, and pretending to turn the water on. Boy was I wrong!!!! She plays with it from the time she wakes up, before the sun comes up, to the time she goes to bed!

My only wish for this kitchen is that it had some small shelves on the side for a little more storage. But I think it would be very easy to add if you wanted to.

So in conclusion......... Highly recommended!!!!
