 Great Product For Limited Space In Your Home... Aug 25, 2008
By Karen M. Robinson
"KarensKare"
Okay...I am a mother of six. I purchased this product at Toys R Us but ended up returning it. I got this for my 16 mth old who LOVED THE KITCHEN...it was very durable and cute as can be and great quality but I felt for the money it was kinda boring. She liked playing with the phone that came with it and opening the drawers...but I was looking for one that was a little more interactive. The only sound this kitchen makes besides beeping noises on the battery operated phone is the stove made a bubbling or sizzling noise when you put the pots and pans on it. I took it back to Toys R Us and they ended up having a 20% coupon for any one item in the store so I got her the Step 2 DELUXE kitchen. It is a bit larger but has so many more features...the microwave,stove,oven, dishwasher,and telephone make noise...and it has a little light above the stove that turns on and off and even has the option of using an adaptor for the light instead of batteries. I felt for the extra money this would bring her many more years of enjoyment. In short...if you do not care about all the extra features than go for this item...it really is a cute little kitchen...otherwise I would recommend the Deluxe or even the Dream Kitchen which has all the features as the deluxe minus the dishwasher.

mom of 2 boys! Oct 16, 2007
By M. Trask
My 4yr old got this from grandma for his birthday. He loves it!!! He has played non stop since I put it together. It was a little tricky putting it together and it did take some time. But it is WORTH it.. My 10 yr old also has had fun playing with it as well.

Excellent Kitchen and Excellent Value Apr 04, 2008
By Kendra
I bought this kitchen for my four year old daughter last year. I looked at many kitchens before purchasing this one. I wanted a sturdy plastic kitchen that was full-size and that had a refrigerator, drawers, and stove. This one fit the bill and was $100 less than very similar ones.
My daughter very much enjoys playing with this. She's played with it regularly since we purchased it. She makes all sorts of meals and serves them to both my husband and me. It comes with some flatware, dishes and cups. I don't remember if it came with any food, but we've bought a few sets of food since. So, with the food we purchased, she makes pizza, cuts vegetables and fruits, serves sushi, cakes, etc. Sometimes she "makes" some very weird combinations, but has a grand time doing it!
One reviewer expressed displeasure with this purchase and expressed his fear of the kitchen tipping over on his child. I used to have a similar kitchen when my older daughter was much younger. We put that one in a carpeted room and it's true-- it was unstable even though that kitchen was considered high quality. This one, however, we have in our own kitchen and it's very stable on our hard floor. I'd recommend putting these things on tile or wood rather than carpet for that very reason. The counters and main structure is made of very sturdy plastic. The refrigerator, oven, and microwave doors are made of the thinner, less sturdy plastic.
All in all, although my husband wishes we could get rid of it already, my daughter likes this still. She definitely goes over to it at least once per day, usually more, and plays around with some part of it every day whether the pots and pans, foods, or phone.

 We LOVE this kitchen Aug 01, 2008
By Moses' Mommy
After much research, we recently gave this kitchen to our 2-year-old son, and we all LOVE it. It has already generated hours and hours of fun.
This product comes with the following extras: two bowls, two plates, two spoons, two knives, two special pans with lids (one sizzles, one boils- even making the sound of water hitting the burner!), two cups, one phone (which also generates sound), and salt & pepper shakers. (You will need to buy food.)
We chose this product for a number of reasons:
- It provides just the right amount of sounds. We wanted to have some sound effects, but not so many that it inhibited creativity. This has the perfect combo.
- The doors to the appliances open like real appliances-- unlike other toy kitchen sets we looked at.
- It is sturdy and a good height. He won't outgrow it for a while.
- There is plenty of storage space (three drawers and a cabinet- plus the refrigerator and stove), good counter space, and the cutest little dish shelf. Other kitchen sets offered extras such as dishwashers, but nothing in this range offered the same amount of counter and storage space. It really helps make it feel like a real kitchen.
The only cons:
- I wish it had a full-sized refrigerator, but most kitchen sets don't. And I knew that when I bought it, so I can't really complain!
- The "magic" burner which generates the sounds doesn't sit quite level. But it doesn't inhibit play, and our son hasn't noticed at all.
It did take my husband about an hour to put it together (with stickers), but he actually said he enjoyed putting this toy together.
All in all, we are thrilled with this kitchen set and know we made the right decision. It was well worth the money to hear my son yell while he is cooking, "I did it!" You can't go wrong with this kitchen!
NOTE: Check other websites. It may be cheaper elsewhere (i.e., Walmart- and with ship to store, there is not shipping cost).

 Very small Mar 13, 2008
By Tanisha
"mommyofcuties"
I was very disappointed after putting this toy together. It is very small. My 1 and 2 year old are in the 5th percentile and even they look giant next to this thing. The kids in the picture look much taller then my children so I think that pic is very misleading. I would not recommend this kitchen.
