3Great, but way too small
@_*caseyjacie
We really like the kitchen--it is made well, easy to emble, and super cute. It has the phone, which our kids totally loves. HOWEVER...it is tiny. My daughter got this on her third birthday, and she is already taller than the refrigerator (and she's not especially tall). It's a micro kitchen, so we're a little disappointed. We were hoping this was a toy that would go the distance, but I can't see a five year old playing in a dwarfed little kitchen. If they made this 30% bigger it would be great, especially since then all the toys made to go with play kitchens (like Melissa and Doug cookie sheets that don't fit in our tiny oven) would fit.

5Awesome Kitchen!
@_*Tortoise Lover
Pros:
Small enough to be completely functional for my 18 month old.
Looks great in the dining room where we keep it.
It is Extremely cute! The color is a very nice red, and it looks really nice.
My son plays in his kitchen while I do dishes or cook, instead of hanging onto me.
The stove knobs click when you turn them, all of the doors open well, lots of storage space and shelving.
The faucet rotates, the hot and cold water handles turn (or can be used like soap dispensers which my son does).
It isn't a crazy colored plastic behemoth like other kitchens, which mattered to me.
My son's imagination soars while playing with this.

Cons:
None. I seriously love it and anyone that sees it wants it for their child instead of what they got.

Accessories I Got:
Melissa and Doug wooden pot and pan set (the red one): Look as if they came with the kitchen. The oven mitt and utensils that come with it very nice too. A great deal and a great buy that fits in perfectly.
Melissa and Doug cutting fruit crate: It doesn't come with a cutting board, but my son likes trying to cut the fruit. sometimes he succeeds!
Melissa and Doug food groups: Are you kidding me with these low prices!? Very nice set, lots of wooden play food. We love them and my son pretend cooks them. Did I mention I love it?
Melissa and Doug magnetic kitchen bottle collection: The BEST! A lot of fun, my son loves them a lot. He likes to match the color tops, pretend to cook with them, and rearrange them in his cupboards.

I plan on getting some soft toy veggies later on too. I love this product and the accessories I got to go with it. This kitchen is the best, especially for younger toddlers! My son plays with it everyday and has a blast.

2Adorable but Highly Frustrating
@_*Steve G
This kitchen is adorable. The pink color is nice, and it's just creates a nice-looking play a overall that makes my 2-year-old daughter really want to "play kitchen", as she puts it. However, I really don't understand all the incredibly glowing reviews, and given the high expectations they set, I have to warn pnts about a few things in this fairly negative review.

1. Assembly is WAY too involved for something this small. There literally over 200 screws, nuts, and other pieces of hardw involved in embling the kitchen, and it comes in around 50 pieces of wood and chrome. Sure, it's quality wood and the box is fairly compact, but when you're heading into hour 3 of embling and it's not even halfway done yet, you really won't c. And you can't speed things up with power tools, because they won't fit between the narrow walls of the cabinets. Honestly you can put together most adult-size Ikea furniture in a fraction of the time this takes. On day 1, I embled for around 4 hours and then my daughter played for about 20 minutes. Doesn't seem quite right.

2. It's too expensive for what it is. It's a small pink wooden kitchen. There some nice details. But keep in mind that with all the embly, you're basically building it yourself. For $180, elves should pop out of the box and build it for you, and then serve you milk and cookies. What you get here is an empty kitchen that's really not any fun unless you go out and buy a whole lot of accessories to use with it.

3. Doors too difficult for a toddler to open and close. Even I have to hold the kitchen with one hand and pull with the other in order to get the doors to open. For all the expense, they still use cheap plastic grips to hold the doors closed instead of the mechanical ones with the two rollers that you'd find on real cabinets. The fit is too tight and some of the doors almost impossible to open for a young child. Especially the oven, where the handle is horizontal on top but the oven opens sideways so you have no leverage to open the door.

4. Too many packing materials. The box has tons and tons of styrofoam and foam paper that can't be recycled and can only go in the garbage - expect at least four large black garbage bags worth of trash in addition to the box.

5. Even with all these packing materials, the pink oven door came with a chip in the paint on the corner.

6. They expect you to anchor it to the wall, and don't really have a good solution on the feet. I put felt shoes on the feet to keep it from scratching the wood floors, but since the doors so tight now the whole thing moves when you pull any handle. The feet that come with it just plastic - really not good for any surface. But the thing is so small that you really don't want to drill into the wall just to anchor it.

7. Doors and accessories n't very imaginative and don't do much. The doors all just open one way - as stated above, the oven door doesn't even open like an oven. And is that supposed to be a bottom-freezer? There's a piece of gray plastic in the fridge door that's supposed to look like an icemaker but doesn't do anything.

8. Some interior shelves unstable and a little dangerous. The shelf in the fridge and the gray rack in the oven just sit on top of bumpers and easily slide off and fall. We put wooden cookies on the oven rack, then pulled it out (the way you would normally pull out an oven rack), and it fell backwards and lost all the cookies once the rack came off the rear bumpers.

Look, my daughter likes this kitchen and it is cute, so maybe two stars seems too harsh, but there is no way this is a four or five star toy set, especially at this price or anything near it. Assembly is a cruel punishment that I wouldn't wish on any pnt the day after an exhausting birthday or Christmas.

Next time I'd go for a more pre-embled plastic kitchen. With something like a play kitchen, it's much more about the child's imagination than the quality of the furniture, and I have a feeling my daughter would have had just as much fun and I would have had more time to play with her!
