KidKraft Cook Together Kitchen Review
We bought this kitchen for our son because it was such a fabulous deal on Amazon and we felt like we got the biggest bang for our buck. Here are my pro/con lists:
Pros:
~~Nice finish, bright colors, overall an attractive design
~~Lots of things to do to keep little ones busy
~~Perfect size for a three year old (might be a little small for an older child)
~~Sturdy, metal hinges, nice closures
~~Mostly wood, very little plastic
~~I like the fact that the stove, for example, is raised like a real stove and not just painted on, and the fridge even has pretend in-door-water
~~The idea of throwing a washing machine into the kitchen is cute and adds an extra activity (although my son prefers to store food in it)
~~All the knobs work and make little clicking noises
Cons:
~~Assembly is a bit insane. You get this box that is not too large, but you have to take everything out and assemble piece by piece. It took my husband and I 2.5 hours and we're pretty crafty about assembling furniture. A lot of the little screws are in hard-to-reach places. Thankfully all the pieces are numbered and all the screws are labeled so it's pretty straightforward. Also be warned it is a two-person job - not because it is heavy, but because a lot of parts need one person to hold something steady while the other person tries to attach it.
~~Packaging: the little chalkboard was broken when I took it out of the box, one screw (the one that holds the peg on the fridge door) was missing and a couple of the wooden pieces have chips in them. I am hoping that I can get this rectified without a lot of hassle.
~~It would be nice if the dishwasher and oven had a shelf in them. It makes them a little less realistic that stuff just kind of gets dumped into a hole with a door on it.
If I had to do it over again would I buy the same kitchen? Yes, I would.

The Best Ever Play Kitchen - Grandma Judy - Suburban St. Louis
This little wooden complete kitchen is my 2 year old grandson's absolute favorite toy (besides his guitar!). He will play longer with this kitchen than any of his toys. The color/design is gender neutral. It is a really quality product and a good value compared to plastic kitchens. It was not at all difficult to assemble. The instructions are very clear with parts exceptionally well identified. Although not difficult, it does take awhile to assemble because there are so many parts. It worked well for us for one person doing the actual assembling and another person seeking out and preparing parts for the next step.
