KidKraft Vintage Wooden Play Kitchen Toy Set with Pretend Ice Maker & Play Phone - Pink Pretend Play Kitchen for Toddlers Ages 3+ | Perfect for Imaginative Play, Birthday Gifts & Preschool Learning Activities

My 3.5 year old daughter was over the moon when we surprised her with this play kitchen! It is a beautiful, quality play kitchen that I feel will last her awhile! Putting it together was quite a task, it took my husband about 3 hours total and along the way lots of frustration as the instructions and pieces were pretty confusing. We noticed that a couple pieces were too long and at the top hang over further than other pieces, though not noticeable from the front thankfully. There were also a couple pieces unfinished on an end though my husband was able to turn some things around and make those unnoticeable at all. I would definitely say you want someone who is somewhat patient and good with building things, because it was quite a project. But we love it now that it’s finished and our daughter loves it and that was most important!My youngest daughter absolutely LOVES this kitchen set! Its well made and perfect for a little girlMy grand daughter loves it! Great quality! This is my 3rd time purchasing this item! I have 21 grandchildren and all the girls have one.UPDATE 5/22/2013: MY 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER LOVES IT!After looking at all the plastic junk at the big box stores I decided to do some research online for a better quality kitchen and found Kidkraft. Their website showed a number of good quality wood products, and after looking at the prices I decided to go with the PVK (Pink Vintage Kitchen). Although still a few weeks away from her birthday, I am positive my daughter will love this kitchen. The style, color, features and quality should ensure this will get a lot of use. My wife thinks its a bit short for a 4 year old and wishes we had gotten this for her 2nd or 3rd ...but I think raising it on a platform or getting some cool vintage retro sofa legs would help raise it 3" or 4 when/if required, but not yet.I purchased this via Amazon from DiscountgiantUSA. Total price was $132 shipped! For what I got I am very happy with the value. The 50lb. box took about a week to arrive. Be sure to go through the entire contents of the box first, and double check with the parts list before starting assembly to make sure you have all the parts and in good condition. There are a lot of pieces and its advisable to have everything you need before starting. As luck would have it one of the larger pieces (part #1) had a small chip at a corner in a noticeable spot. I called up Kidkraft and without hesitation they sent me a replacement panel. Although it took a few days to ship the replacement panel, the customer service was really good ...just call them and they will send you whatever you need.Assembly Notes: My part #1 was damaged at the corner out of the box, but Kidkraft replaced it asap via fedex that week. I also experienced a slight de-lamination damage on top edge of the fridge backing (that I had not noticed on initial inspection), and had to trim a bit off with a box knife so that top panel slot would fit over the backing. Not an issue if you're handy with tools, but a pain for beginners. Hardware "C" nuts require a slot screwdriver as a philips cannot grip the shallow screw head. You will need a stubby slot screwdriver (or penny) to screw the two "C" nuts from inside the microwave area. The feet build feels a bit thin and delicate, so be very careful not to over-tighten as they look like they could crack if turned more than an 1/8th of a turn tight. The instructions are very basic, and some steps take a bit of thought (ie. which way do the vertical panels align, how to slide the backing panels in), but overall the steps work.Build Time: (more if you need a part from KidKraft)0.5 hr part checklist & inspection2.5 ht assembly3.0 hr total timeDesign: Overall pretty good, a few minor rubbing marks but nothing really that noticeable. I'm a bit disappointed that the oven door does not swing down, but that's being picky. It would be really nice to trick out the PVK with SS (stainless steel) door handles, adjustable feet, SS sink, and SS faucet (ie to match the right hand dowel shelf supports), and a real clock too. I would be happy to pay more $$'s for the above, or an "upgrade kit", but that may be overkill ;-)Summary: At $132 delivered, the PVK is a really great kitchen, and much nicer than the plastic junk from the big box stores that you pay $100+ for. This is more like furniture, a nice heirloom or hand-down, and likely to have a good resale once outgrown. Part inspection and check-listing is critical ..so don't skip this step. The 2.5 hr assembly is pretty intense and non-stop, very ikea'esq. If you have no problems with furniture assembly then this is not too difficult a project, but beginners may need an extra pair of hands and a weekend ;-)Design: 9/10 (cute-cool-retro, functional, stainless steel hardware/adjustable legs would be nice)Quality: 8/10 (pretty good, a few of the plastics seem cheap, but inline with price)Service: 10/10 (Kidkraft are awesome!)Value: 9/10 (good price, wood build is always better than plastic)Overall: 9/10 (highly recommended)Granddaughter loves it ,always making me stuff in her own way LOL, wish it was tallerI bought this kitchen set for my two year Olds second birthday. She loves it! It did take a few hours to put together but not hard if you follow the directions. The only down fall is it leans forward. I put it together correctly. Other than that it's perfect. Reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.I have two of these kitchen but have noticed that the small door above the sink doesn't close all the way. The instruction are all pictures which is frustrating. I still like them for my grandkids.Apres deux ans d'utilisation intensive toujours au top !!( si mon commentaire vous aide dans votre choix ou vous parrait utile cliquez sur le pouce ! Merci :) )My 15 months old little girl loves this play kitchen. It's well made and very pretty. I can't believe it makes her stop and play. It did take me an hour and half to build, but it all worth it. We are very happy.Very disappointed in this kitchen. Pretty looking and sturdy but its so so so small!!!!!!!!!!. Bought for my 4 year old because she wanted a pink kitchen but it was a complete downgrade from the other one I had. It is very small both my 4 and 5 year old have to go on their knees to use it as the unit top is very low. I would have sent it back but i ordered it 5 weeks before my little ones birthday so now i can not. Wish i had seen the reviews about size before i purchased and not gone by their recommended age completely misleading. i have has other products by this make and they were always a really good size and quality so i am very surprised ..... Picture of my girls fully sitting down in front of it just for comparison when they stand they tower over it.My daughter likes this she’s just tuned one.After using it a month though 2 of the doors that don’t have the plastic grip locks just stay open!shame but besides this very steady and great it comes with a wall grip.I was worried it would be too big but not at all my 1 year old is on the taller size but if I’d bought it for a regular size 3 year old as what it says is suitable for it would have been way too small?my opinion only though it’s very sweet and super easy to assemble thanksI thought it would have been bigger. The picture showed a child next to it and it did look bigger it's about 3x3 foot has fridge/freezer, oven 2 cupboards microwave( which you need to buy a magnet for or it wint stay shut) shelves great little kitchen pretty heavy but will last a long time I put pink unicorn sticker on the one I bought made it look much prettier
