Ease of assembly:

Educational factor:

Novelty factor:

The Good: Plenty of opportunity for imaginative play and "cooking."

The Challenging: With so many screws and bolts, a powered screwdriver is recommended.

In a Nutshell: A colorful, kid-sized, classic kitchen set.

The sink includes cute pink-and-blue knobs. View larger.

The four-burner stove-top looks just like the real thing! View larger.

Large in Size, Plenty of Gadgets
The Large Kitchen measures 42 x 16 x 42-inches (HxDxW) and weighs 83 pounds -- making it large enough for kids to "cook" without hunching over. This heavy, durable play set will stand up to years of wear and tear. The bright, fluorescent-colored kitchen comes with working doors, knobs, and other gadgets -- such as the clock with its spinning hands.

The kitchen's stove top has realistic burners, the oven and microwave both have see-through windows to "check on your food," and the sink is removable for easy clean up. The kitchen also has shelving above the sink for quick and easy storage.

Due to the kitchen's size, there is quite a bit of adult assembly required. We would recommend using a powered screwdriver to save time and frustration.

Great for Creative Play
The Large Kitchen provides numerous opportunities for interactive and imaginative play. Your child can enjoy making a meal for you, or perhaps "cooking" dinner right alongside you. Since the Large Kitchen is appealing to a wide range of ages, it is a play set that ideal for families with multiple children. Older and younger kids can cook together without being crowded.

Durable, Fantastic Kitchen

My daughter received this kitchen from Santa 3 years ago when she was not quite 2 years old. I wanted something that was made from mdf or composite so it would be extremely heavy, yet not plastic or cheap. She has loved it from the moment she got it. We carved out a place in our kitchen for it and it's become a permanent fixture. While I'm busy fixing dinner, she goes over and fixes dinner. It has an endless amount of playtime and requires her to use her own imaginiation- no sound effects included with this one! Now that she's learning to read she even sounds out the grocery list that is painted on the fridge door. A clock on the side with moveable minute and hour hands is a great educational bonus as well. I can't even count the number of times she has "taken my order." This was by far one of the best toy investments we've ever made. It gets played with by every kid who comes in our door- no matter what age or gender. Fair warning, though- because this is a sturdy item of high quality, it took my very handy husband several hours to put together.

Well-built and so much fun

My daughter is only 18 months, so her interaction with the kitchen has a long way to grow. But I can certainly see that she will grow into and will love it more and more. She already loves opening the doors and turning the knobs and prentending to cook noodles.

It's also extremely well-built and I can see it lasting through a few more kids, at least. It's also just so cute. We love it.

after MUCH research -- love this kitchen!

I am one who completely obsesses over purchases before making them - I started looking at kitchens for my little girl in june and i finally ordered this one last week. It came 2 days after i ordered it - yahoo! Although i was missing one part, i was still able to put the kitchen together and customer service said the missing part was on its way.
Yes, it does take a great deal of time to put together BUT there is nothing hard about it. I only used a little electric screwdriver and the tool that came with the kitchen. It took me almost 3 hours, BUT i was working alone AND my little girl (almost 2 yrs old) was 'helping' me the whole time! It was a joy, however, to get it put together and to watch her begin to play. The assembly time was not a negative feature in my book - I'm proud to have a fine quality item for my child and future children to play with.
The kitchen is in my kitchen, so my little girl cooks while i cook. I feel that we have already gotten our $[...] worth out of it in even the short time that we've had it b/c she has SO much fun playing with it. At the end of EVERY meal now she says "all done eating....cook in kitchen...play" and she's down playing with her kitchen.
The size is great - not too big, not too small. The colors are VERY pleasant - not bright, yet not too pastel (i mean, the colors are pastel, but not baby colors). I love that it has the raised burners on the stove instead of the flat burners. The kithcen faucet is very cute and realistic and there is PLENTY of storage/play room. I love that there are no noises from the buttons - such a great opportunity for learning and imaginative play.
If i were to list a negative feature it would be these: the 'telephone' is not one that kids can hold - it's just painted onto the side of the fridge and the water dispenser on the fridge is just painted on also. I wish these two features were more realistic.
However, we are thrilled with our purchase and would buy it again if I had it to do all over again.

wonderful kitchen!

I bought this kitchen for my daughter when she turned 2 (almost 3 years ago!) I chose it because most all reviews seemed satisfied and I wanted a sturdy kitchen that would last. We love this kitchen! Its extremely durable! My daughter and her brother can be rough so they have climbed and di all sorts of stuff on this kitchen and it looks as good as the day we got it! It cleans easy even after she wrote on it...it came right off with erasers. I recommends this kitchen and am so happy we got this one:) I now have another baby who already just loves this kitchen!

Good Buy

I bought this as a christmas gift last year for my daughter who was 4 at the time . She still loves playing with this kitchen and we haven't had any problems with it at all, not one. No pieces have fallend off or fallen apart and KidKraft has a fast and easy parts supply website(free parts too). I'd definitely recommend this product.It's adorable and sturdy!
