We gave this kitchen to my daughter for her second birthday and it is AMAZING. It's really cute, sturdy and has a lot more features than my own real kitchen. It's only a shame that the appliances don't work or I might trade! She's been playing with it practically nonstop since her birthday, and it's a lot of fun. Well done, Little Tikes.
Please note: It took my husband and me 4.5 hours to put it together with 2 manual screwdrivers. There are a LOT of screws. Also, This does come with a couple of plastic pans & utensils, but they are a little skimpy so I did buy an additional set of pots and pans to give her more options. Because there is no food included, you have to buy that separately too. A toy kitchen can be an expensive gift!
In all, I'm really glad we went with this kitchen. It's high quality and nicer than a lot of other models I've seen, and despite the effort of putting it all together, it was well worth the effort because of the awesome end result, and any little kid (heck, any mommy!) would love playing with it.
