An Impressive Pretend Kitchen with Plenty of Features
Assembled, this wooden kitchen features a fridge, oven, three-range stove area with knobs that click, a cutting board, and plenty of shelf space for your young chef to store kitchen staples. The overall look is bright and fun with non-gendered colors--red countertops and shelving, a blue fridge and oven, and blond wood panels along the sides. The dimensions are approximately 37 by 16-1/2 by 26 inches--an ideal size for younger kids.

Details--like the painted electric ranges constructed from wood, and the "stainless steel" handles, knobs, and sink fixtures--complete the look. The Cook's Corner Kitchen even comes with a cutting board and a working three-minute timer. The sink is removable, so it can also be used as a bowl or filled up for water play. Just make sure to clean up after playtime.

Sets the Stage for Imaginative Food Fun
Combined with other food or kitchen-related toys, this play set will provide a solid foundation for your child's imagination. Your little one can invent recipes, play restaurant, entertain "guests", or play house with this versatile kitchen. After playtime, your child can store food and cooking toys in the fridge, oven, and on the shelving.

Imaginative Play Encourages Learning
Both independent and guided pretend play is an essential part of child development. This kitchen's interactive parts, from its clicking knobs to swiveling faucet, will stoke your child's imagination. When combined with other accessories--such as toy foods--the set provides a way for parents to play with kids and teach them about food, nutrition, cooking, colors, counting, and more.

Quality Wood Construction and Easy Assembly
As with all of Melissa & Doug's products, this toy kitchen is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy-testing standards. Hardware and special tools are included; you'll only need a slotted screwdriver and a Philips head screwdriver to get started.

This set will take several hours to put together, but with the detailed assembly guide, the process should be easy. The guide offers step-by-step written and visual instructions. Each step is clearly outlined on its own page and includes what hardware, tools, and components you'll need to complete that step. Each component is labeled with a letter and each piece of hardware is labeled with a number, so it will be easy to find what you need as you're building the kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite a good kitchen for price. October 20, 2010

Bought this Melissa and Doug Kitchen along with the Plan Refrigerator. Had thought about buying all Plan for our 2 yr little girl, but cost more than we were willing to spend. Worked out great. The Cook's corner kitchen had everything she needed(minus the fridge) and was a lot less expensive. Although is appears to be built from some sort of high quality plywood...it is sturdy and looks nice. Though probably not as high end as some of the Plan products...Melissa and Doug has quite remarkable customer service and an overall good quality product....Nice to be able to trust the company you buy your child's toy's from.

5.0 out of 5 stars my boy's LOVE this kitchen! August 25, 2010

i wanted to get my boys a kitchen because they absolutely love their melissa and doug food toys, but many kitchens are made of plastic, or aren't a unisex color scheme. i also worried about the fact that my boys are big for their age and i didn't want them hunching over a mini kitchen especially one with a large upper area which would take up space in my house AND possibly bonk them in the head (they are boys after all and tend to wrestle for stove-top space). this has worked out wonderfully and considering that i got it on sale at toys r us before i could find it anywhere online (even for picture reference) i'm glad i got it before the prices went up! the only thing my oldest son is missing is the refrigerator... and i plan to buy him a separate one to help store all the food toys he's accumulated (everyone knows that's what he likes because he insists on cooking for everyone who walks in our door). and it's easily going to last through to my third son who's still a baby, and probably past that when i undoubtedly use it for my future daycare.

overall a great buy. my boys love it, it has great basics, doesn't take up too much space, but is a good height for everyone. it's a hit with any kid who comes over and i give the melissa and doug birthday cake as a gift to most toddlers! :)

This product is fairly easy to put together, although it does take 1-2 hours to do so. It's a cute, compact kitchen that has all the things I was looking for (wooden construction, turning knobs, colorful) at a very attractive price. The problem with the unit we received is that there are a couple of scrapes and slight chips on the paint in a couple of places--not enough to make us put everything back in the box and send it back, but enough to be annoying. I will take some pics and upload so that it's clear what I'm talking about. Also, the door on the oven doesn't close as it should, but it's also not the biggest deal--could also be the result of my husband's handy work and not a manufacturing flaw. The last complaint is the sink bowl is not connected to the unit, so my 15-month old daughter always takes it out and it ends up god knows where. So far it hasn't broken, but it would be nice if it were connected to the unit.
