 Great kitchen! Dec 12, 2009
I bought this for my son last year for Christmas. He loves it and has played with it everyday. It still looks new and is very sturdy. Being a typical boy we've found him climbing on it more than once and has been none the worse for the wear. One of the best things we've bought and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
Couldn't be happier Dec 12, 2009
I researched and researched kitchens to death before finally deciding and I couldn't be happier. I wanted something sturdy, that didn't make noise, flash different colors and had some storage. This kitchen had all of the above. It is study and solidly built. Yes it took awhile to put together (2 hours) but what else would one expect. My 4 & 2 year old loves this kitchen. It gets ton of use, everyday. I have purchased many kidkraft products and I love them all, I now tend to search their stuff out first because I know I will be happy with what I receive.
Great kitchen! Dec 05, 2009
This is a great kitchen for any imaginative toddler! It is well constructed (yes, it took a while to assemble, but it's not the end of the world), sturdy, and leaves room for pretend play (no sounds, lights, bells, whistles - your child has to do that on their own). It's also a favorite when other kids come to our home for playdates. My son's favorite part of the kitchen is the turntable in the microwave!
 Well designed, but small Nov 30, 2009
I love the style of the kitchen - a lot of compliments from everyone who has seen it. It is cute and compact for all the accessories it features. All of the doors swing out, which is very important because doors that flip down become places for your child to climb on, and the door would either break or tip the kitchen over. It is fairly heavy as the majority of the kitchen is some sort of wood or wood composite (can't tell as it is painted an all-over red laquer). Some of the silver parts are metal, but unfortunately not all are, with both plastic and painted wood used. I worry about the metallic paint used - who knows these days whether it's safe or not. The overall durability seems quite good to my critical engineer's eye.
I didn't have too much trouble assembling, but I can easily see where a less patient or less spacially-oriented person would have issues. If you've had trouble putting anything together, you will probably have a problem with this. As careful as I was, I still made two mistakes. The refrigerator door arrived with a piece of plastic broken (the broken piece wasn't even in the box, so obviously not the fault of the distributer), so I called KidKraft directly and they immediately sent a replacement door.
My biggest problem with the piece is the small scale. I understand that it can't be any bigger without being a tipping hazard, but the toy is rated for 3+. My son is not yet three years old and he often kneels to play with it. Yet the picture shown on Amazon displays a girl who seems to be perfectly sized for the toy. A buyer would assume she is an average three year old. She's either small for her age or a bit younger. I would be so angry if I bought this toy for a three year old, just to find they would grow out of it in less than a year, especially considering the price it is going for right now. Fortunately for me, I have a one year old daughter who will get several years of use out of it.

Great customer service Nov 02, 2009
We bought this kitchen for my 2 year old and are very impressed with the quality and Kidcraft's customer service. It arrived with 5 of the pieces dinged/scratched. We called the number on the instructions on a Friday afternoon, and had the new parts in hand by Monday evening. After reading some of the reviews, I was concerned about the time it would take to put together. Honestly, it was really easy. I sorted out the parts ahead of time and it took 2 of us maybe an hour and a half total to put it together. Very pleased with my purchase!
