[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently decided I wanted to get a play kitchen for my little one so when I'm cleaning or cooking in the kitchen has his own kitchen to play pretend and kinda distract him rather then let him play on the tablet or watching tv. When I saw this kitchen I figured it would be the perfect choice because it looks very similar to a real kitchen. For starters when putting this together I suggest putting the piece on the floor in alphabetical order, as there are a lot of pieces this will help you put it together a lot faster and not have to go searching for pieces and look at the directions very carefully because some of the pieces on have small difference that can cause you to have to take it apart and start again, mostly these are the parts where the cabinet front sit in, but otherwise this is pretty simple to put together and it's pretty sturdy because it's made of really good materials (mostly wood) and it also uses really sturdy screws to put together so your kids are less likely to destroy it. Though did notice while putting it together it did scratching it up a little bit but because of whatever they uses on the outside of the materials I basically was able to buff it out with a sponge, but would note the the counter on the kitchen is a sticker so it can get knicked and scratched off, but honestly it's a pretty good sticker so unless they were purposely scratching or picking at it, it should be fine. When it comes to playing with this kitchen it's very simple as it has a sink, microwave, stove, oven, and extra shelves that leaves so much space for your little one to place all of their play food and this set also comes with a pot, a pan, a lid that fits on the pot and pan, salt, pepper, pot holder, a phone, and spatula and a ladle so the can can present to cook as well as hooks to hang up some of the items. The one this I really like about how simple this kitchen is that it fully relies on your kids imagination because it does not make any noises or lights, though the stove does click when they turn the knobs, but otherwise it give kids a chance to kinda decide what they want to do in their kitchen or if they want to clean dishes or just heat stuff up in their microwave, so if your kid is a little more interested in noise and lights and sounds this probably isn't the kitchen for them, though my little one really hasn't stopped playing with it since I put it together. Another great thing about this is not only does the kitchen look really cute but the cabinets leave a ton of space to store extra pots and pans and play food your kids have and been able to keep it nicely organized without looking messy. Overall my son and I love this play kitchen and would definitely recommend.
