Fairly easy to assemble. My son loves to play with this. favorite part is the little coffee maker it comes with. Durable yet easy to move around. Good for small children.

ordered for 18 month and 2 yr old grandchildren - both played with it for long periods of time. Accessible for toddlers. Realistic sounds and enough food/serving utensils/cookware. Nice that the dishes and trays fit inside oven. I ordered the neutral set for my grandson. I ordered the pink one for our little granddaughter - it was out of stock so I will try again. I bought them on sale, so I can say that the money spent was a good value for the product. Not sure if I would pay full price for it.

My daughter loved her gift. I compared this kitchen to others and found this was the best value for dollar, I would definitely recommend this kitchen.

We received this as a Christmas gift for my petite 2 1/2 year old daughter and I cannot tell you how much she enjoys this kitchen! I helped research play kitchens for my grandmother prior to her making the purchase, and let me you there are SO MANY options and nothing was what I was looking for. This kitchen had the right color scheme that would not be an eyesore and would work for either gender and it did not take up much room. We are in a small apartment and that part was the most important. It's 2 3/4 feet across, a little over 3 feet high, and about 9 1/2 inches deep. Perfect for small spaces without looking pitiful. It is a bit tall for her to reach the hanging spoon and spatula, but I find this a plus as it will grow with her.

Features: The sink spout twists to move out of the way when needed so larger items can fit in the sink. The spices are colorful without looking cheesy and the other accessories look pretty real. I love that the cell phone has a hook and is easy to hold without looking ancient. The knobs on the stove click loudly when you turn them which can be a bit annoying. They are a bit hard to turn so smaller hands may have a hard time. Both pots and the coffee pot cause the one electronic burner to make sounds that will shut off eventually even if the item is left on it (this is very nice). The skillet makes a sizzling sound and the larger pot and coffee pot make a bubbling sound.

The refrigerator is too small for much to fit in it. It's not even big enough for a tray to fit in. The trays will fit in the oven but they are too long for it to close all the way. The food items are okay. Nothing to brag about but I've seen worse. The pepper grinder makes a fun grinding sound that is easy enough for my petite toddler to manage. The stickers are a nice touch that add a bit more realism to the decor.

All the accessories have a place to go. The 5 spices and pepper grinder sit on the back shelf, the cups are on one upper shelf, the salt and pepper shakers are on the other upper shelf, the cell phone has a holder, the coffee mug sits on the burner, the plates go in one tray, the silverware in another, and the third tray is placed in the spot above the refrigerator and holds the food. The two pots are then placed in the oven and everything cleans up nicely.

As far as assembly, it was a bit challenging to put together. Not impossible or hard really, just took a bit of time and a screw driver. Though there are no pre-drilled holes, the plastic is not hard to push through so it really wasn't that big of a deal. My husband and I put it together with just a little work and adjusting. If you are not handy at all you may want to bring in a bit of help :-) Otherwise it's fine.

I have no idea what the features on this product meant by being two sided so more kids can play with it because when it is away from the wall is easily tips over. There is nothing on the other side so I guess they just meant the open window makes it more accessible? The bar on the window does not come out far so I don't even see other kids able to play much on the side. Besides, the front is big enough for three small children to play just fine.

Overall I would definitely purchase this kitchen again and definitely find it worth the price.

Instructions were mostly clear. Had a bit of trouble trying to figure out where to drill screws as they are not marked with tiny holes as some prodcuts are but when I gave the task to my Hubby- he of course figured it out in 2 seconds. Apparently there are small indintations that you use for the guides instead. (good to know for next time.)

Other than that- all parts to the kitchen work GREAT. I don't feel there is anything additional you really need to buy for it other than more food- it already comes with a lot. My 3 year old son LOVES it and I chose this brand for the reviews and overall reliability. I did notice (with my store at least) that the price was cheaper online so that's where I purchased it and had it ready for pick up at the store.(Was actually my moms gift to him but I did all the purchasing for her) Definitely would recommend this product to others.

I got this toy for my 15 month old son and he loves it! The first day, he played with it all day. It was easy to put together and very sturdy. The kitchen part toys are not too small that my son could swallow them which was a concern for me. I am so glad i got this toy. I see my son playing with this toy for a long time.

We bought this for our daughter for Christmas. She loves it!

I brought this as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She always helps her mom around the kitchen! She loved it!

The only problem is it comes totally unassembled in a large box. You even have to put on all of the various labels! A very time consuming process!

I ordered this online with in store pick up. The process went very smooth.

Thanks Toys R Us!

Both of my kids love this kitchen, we just got it for them as a christmas present and they both enjoy it very much. I really did not mind the assembly, my husband had to push hard on the screws with a regular screw driver as we do not have a drill. He did not find this difficult at all. It is very sturdy, and perfect size for kids play room, not too big, not too small. We especially bought this kitchen so that our Autistic son could use it during his therapy as part of his pretend play sessions. He is only 3 years old, almost 4 and is very happy with how simple it is to use, and not so overwhelming, or loud, which was our number one concern when searching for a play kitchen. It is perfect for him, and very fun for our 5 year old daughter who enjoys to play on it as well.
