Designed for children ages three and up, this solid, kid-sized kitchen has all the essentials including: a stove, oven, microwave, sink, and refrigerator. Decked out in bright colors with plenty of gadgets, this kitchen is set up for plenty of imaginative make-believe play.

Large Kitchen Ages: 3+ Requires: Adult assembly Phillips screwdriver

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Plenty of opportunity for imaginative play and "cooking."

The sink includes cute pink-and-blue knobs. View larger.

The four-burner stove-top looks just like the real thing! View larger.

Large in Size, Plenty of Gadgets
The Large Kitchen measures 42.2 x 16.2 x 42.9 inches (LxWxH) and weighs 88.2 pounds -- making it large enough for kids to "cook" without hunching over. This heavy, durable play set will stand up to years of wear and tear. The bright, fluorescent-colored kitchen comes with working doors, knobs, and other gadgets -- such as the clock with its spinning hands.

The kitchen's stove top has realistic burners, the oven and microwave both have see-through windows to "check on your food," and the sink is removable for easy clean up. The kitchen also has shelving above the sink for quick and easy storage.

Due to the kitchen's size, there is quite a bit of adult assembly required. We would recommend using a powered screwdriver to save time and frustration.

Great for Creative Play
The Large Kitchen provides numerous opportunities for interactive and imaginative play. Your child can enjoy making a meal for you, or perhaps "cooking" dinner right alongside you. Since the Large Kitchen is appealing to a wide range of ages, it is a play set that ideal for families with multiple children. Older and younger kids can cook together without being crowded.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed August 7, 2009

By Stephanie

Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Our Kidcraft Kitchen Set is a year old. My daughter received it for her second birthday and after a few months of gentle play, the refrigerator door fell off. We continue to use it, but the particle board where the top of the door attached previously broke off, so the door falls off pretty much whenever anyone touches it. We've spent the last year trying to rig the door back on, but have been unsuccessful.

There are a few redeeming features. It's a taller unit than many others, so it works well for our tall daughter. The sink and stove height are perfect for her - she doesn't have to stoop down to play. I also like that the stove and sink area give her enough "work space" to prepare her food. The color scheme is nice - not too bright or tacky. It blends in with the rest of our playroom. Kids love playing with the oven knobs. The hands of the clock on the side actually move, but my daughter hasn't noticed them yet. The phone and notepad on the side are stickers and therefore, nonfunctional.

In addition to attaching the door more securely, the only other suggestion I would make to the manufacturers is to put more shelves in the refrigerator/cabinet door. There is only one shelf halfway up. We keep our plastic food in baskets and place them on the shelves, but haven't found very many deep baskets to hold all of our food, so with our shallow baskets, a lot of space is wasted.

The kitchen set was easy to assemble. It took my husband and father less than an hour.

ETA: In the three months since I have written the review, the oven door and the door under the sink have both fallen off. We got hinges at Lowes and reattached the doors. It looks ghetto, but I'm not interested in buying a new set at this point. When I purchased this kitchen, I only considered wooden sets because I liked the looks of them better. Upon experiencing the poor quality of this model, I wish I had bought a plastic one. I am sure all the doors would still be attached securely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, Fantastic Kitchen November 21, 2008

By J. Munson

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

My daughter received this kitchen from Santa 3 years ago when she was not quite 2 years old. I wanted something that was made from mdf or composite so it would be extremely heavy, yet not plastic or cheap. She has loved it from the moment she got it. We carved out a place in our kitchen for it and it's become a permanent fixture. While I'm busy fixing dinner, she goes over and fixes dinner. It has an endless amount of playtime and requires her to use her own imaginiation- no sound effects included with this one! Now that she's learning to read she even sounds out the grocery list that is painted on the fridge door. A clock on the side with moveable minute and hour hands is a great educational bonus as well. I can't even count the number of times she has "taken my order." This was by far one of the best toy investments we've ever made. It gets played with by every kid who comes in our door- no matter what age or gender. Fair warning, though- because this is a sturdy item of high quality, it took my very handy husband several hours to put together.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Quality January 9, 2009

By Mickale E. Manley

Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   

We researched this product and were so pleased to find the good reviews. Unfortunately, ours must have been one too many off the assembly line. Within 24 hours two doors had broken off and by the second week a third. One review stated that these were "real" wood however I should have called the company directly because when the doors rip off you can plainly see they are pressed composite. Although our daughter likes it keep in mind there is no prep surface so if you like us bought mixers or toasters there is no flat surface to work on. I like to think my kids are pretty typical and this wasn't a rough play incident. Very dissapointing.
