Good for 1-5yo - Sturdy material, Lots of Functions, Pros & Cons
I mostly like this for the size (width/2 "sides") but wish these things came DOUBLE SIDED (like the backside is just flat- add something else! A table or another cooking area or a little house thing like a baby bed or washing machine - whatever.. SOMEONE MAKES THIS!) . AND also i loved the storage containers included & the cooking noises.
Pro's:
Very easy to follow directions.
Easy to re-apply stickers if a little off.
Great sound features on the stove (the pot makes a bubble sound and the pan makes a frying sound. The salt and pepper shakers are fun for younger ones due to little clicking noise when turn back and forth. the 2 knobs make a clicking noise as well.)
The sink is deep enough for a few items, the water nob moves (as pictured, it is about 2" deep)
It comes with super cute VERY durable cookware/Dinnerware.
The "kurig" station is funny (for me) but a little kettle fits just fine for Tea Party. It comes with starbucks knockoff green coffee sleeves and lids that fit the cups.
The size is great: Like the Headline - my 1 year old loves it, it was for my 3 year old, but my 7 year old also plays well! It is tall enough to detour climbing, it is short enough for all ages to play well. I like the width of it for multiple kid playing and not fighting over things. I like that the open/shut doors are on the bottom half (reachable, also if on top, kids like to hang or pull on them which may lead to injury). (Photo with 16mo old)
Cute colors, great material. I like the "copper" colors of cookware.
We LOVE the 2 little storage buckets for storage (they fit in their area. Photo'd is how big they are, and in relation to how deep the oven is)
The oven and microwave are deep. (Photo'd i put in a bucket in 1 and a plate in the other)
We also LOVE the puppy (or kitten!) area. The animal can sit in the cubby! (the same depth as the bucket) and the little food/water bowl is adorable. This works well for my animal loving kids since momma doesn't want indoor pets. (PS the red dog is from ALDI for like $7 - you can sit and bounce on it - up to 250lbs. wow!)
Cons:
MUST USE DRILL if you want to save time on putting this together. (i read reviews and had my husband do this as I read the directions to him. Not a ton of screws but enough to make it sturdy (not just all snap together plastic molly screws - which is a PRO, not a con, oops!)
Speaking of screws.. the backside on the left and right you have to screw in at a 45 degree angle per instructions and it makes a little edge still there on the screw. Not sharp but could grab a kid's shirt or something. We just have the backside against our coffee table or if you put it against a wall or window it wouldn't matter. (Photo of this)
The refrigerator door opens maybe 2" and sort of snaps back shut. So that part is not useful.
Other: We already had a TON of play food so i am sort of glad this one didn't come with more.
