Amazing! I'm one of those moms who researches a big toy for months before I purchase. I became that way after I bought a few toys and after I received I wasn't happy.

Needless to say I tried several kitchens before and this by FAR is the best! The sounds from the burners and ice maker are very realist and the extra counter space and washing machine just put this over the top. It's the tallest kitchen I could find and enough space for a few kids to play with at the same time.

I posted pictures of my little girl playing with it! I'm also posting videos on YouTube. She loves that it actually has room to fit her cookies and cakes into the oven and microwave. The Melissa and Doug Disney cookies fit in the oven perfectly! (The bigger cookie sheet if their Christmas and regular cookies does not fit). Her previous kitchens microwaves and oven could hold a plate much less and cookie sheet.

My only disappointment is not enough shelves in fridge and bottom cabinet.

Still the best out there and the quality is over the top! It's heavy and not going to fall over on your one year old like my previous step 2 kitchen did. I put this together myself super easy just a little time consuming.

If this was helpful please give it a thumbs up!

I purchased this kitchen from another website for a lower price but first saw it on Amazon. My husband just put it together yesterday, so I can't provide an opinion on how it will hold up, but so far I'm very happy with my choice. I got this kitchen for my 16 month old daughter after comparing lots and lots of other play kitchens. Seriously, I probably looked at every wood play kitchen on the market. A bit obsessive, I know, but it's a big purchase and a toy I hope to be enjoyed for many years, so I wanted to pick the one that was just right for us. I'm really glad I took my time because I eventually discovered this kitchen, which came out quite recently I believe (I don't even see it on kidkraft's website), and it meets all the criteria I was looking for in a kitchen.

Things I wanted in a play kitchen that this kitchen has:
- made out of wood, not plastic
- has a refrigerator with 2 doors instead of just 1 (seems more realistic to me)
- has counter space for play prepping food/so it doesn't feel so squished
- has a washing machine (I know reviews about other kitchens sometimes think it's weird to have a washer in the kitchen, but I like that it's adds variety and I don't have to buy a separate washer machine play set)
- neutral color scheme

DESIGN:
- My daughter still gets a kick out of peekaboo, so the two "windows" are a pretty nice addition.
- Although this is a lights and sound kitchen, I didn't buy it particularly for those features. The ice machine's screen lights up and makes sound like, well, an ice machine, which my daughter likes. The lights on the burner are also cute, but it also kind of sounds like an ice machine, which I think is a little weird.
- I like that the fridge (top door) has a shelf inside and the oven has a "rack"/shelf because it seems more realistic and provides more storage options.
- Also, in general this kitchen, this kitchen has a good amount of storage space, with 2 additional compartments under the sink.
- I was worried that the kitchen would take up a lot of space, but was pleasantly surprised at how compact it is. It's kind of an L-shape, but rather than two sides meeting at a point, there are 3 sides, and the area behind the faucet can be flush to the wall. This has been great because we didn't plan to put it in a corner anyway, and we can either put one side against the wall or have the center piece where the faucet is against the wall and still access both windows (because, well, see peekaboo comment above).
- I'm also really happy about the height because my petite daughter (about 30" tall) can reach just about everything, although she has to stand on tiptoes to put things in the microwave.

NITPICKY CONS:
- I really only have 1 right now about the design, and that's that I wish the washer had an actual dial instead of just one painted on.
- I'm not sure why, but one burner and the ice machine didn't work right out of the box. After continually pressing the buttons though, my daughter managed to bring them to life.

ASSEMBLY:
In all fairness, I didn't lift one finger to help assemble this kitchen (someone had to keep my daughter out of the box!). But I think I can accurately say that assembly was pretty easy. Time consuming, yes, there were 90+ steps, but it was probably easier than assembling an ikea bookshelf (sometimes it's really hard to get the doors right on those things!). I think it took my husband about 3 solid hours to put it together, but it seemed pretty straightforward and I didn't hear any complaining from him (I heard a lot of complaining with the aforementioned ikea bookshelves).

So overall, I can honestly say I'm really happy with this kitchen, and I can already tell it will provide a lot of entertainment for my daughter.

My 2 year old loves it! I wish the microwave and dishwasher had lights and sound as well... The set comes with many pieces and will take 2-3 hours to assemble. I highly recommend purchasing the stacked washer and dryer. The two sets compliment each other very well.

Update 1 year later: Still love this kitchen! Gave it a posh upgrade by adding a peel and stick tile backsplash from Lowes, under cabinet puck lights, and Christmas ornament chandeliers.

Ordered for my daughters birthday..i recieved a kidkraft desk instead!!! I was very upset since it was in a time frame. Got it shipped again by amazon..& even though this happened i will review the item itself. Let me tell you...5 STARS! more if i could. I love kidkraft. We got bookcases, trunks..tables..and now this. You can tell my daughters face that she loves it. Plays with it all day! My 9year old son plays with her!!

Lovely product that my daughters had hours of fun with. Although my child is 8 she doesn’t find it too childish. We’ve had to make it higher for her height as it’s quiet small. She especially like the microwave and cooker.

My husband did find it extremely difficult to put together and ended up having to pay a handy man to put it together for us so if your not too good at DIY then bear this in mind!

Love this for my little boy for xmas .. not as big as i thought it would be but big enough ... has a few chips and a damaged back piece which doesnt impress me but ive managed to hide them so wont be sending it back .. was quick delivery and is very sturdy when up .. took us 4 hrs to put together but worth it once up its lovely n my little is going to love it

Such a beautiful kitchen. Lovely size. We get so many compliments from other parents on how much they love it!

Perhaps a little pricey given other wooden kitchens, but when it turns out as good as it has then I guess it was worth it!

We have lost a peg above the oven which fell out very quickly, which is a little annoying but that is the only negative thing about it!

Took me and my husband 2.5/3hours to put it together without any struggle, just time consuming as there are a lot of bits.

Looks great my twin daughters love this play with it constantly.

Lovely kitchen my children have played for hours with it. Only thing that could have made it better was being able to buy the matching accessories to go with it as part of a deal

---

This looked so much bigger on pic. I was disappointed how small it was. Its still nice quality but id say for no older than a 4 year old.

---

It’s nice with it’s up... but It took awhile to put together.... my daughter loves it...

Kids got it for xmas and just love it!
