Review: ROOMY, STURDY AND WELL CONSTRUCTED, REALISTIC, PERFECT KITCHEN! LOVE IT! - I absolutely LOVE this kitchen!! I did very thorough research prior to this purchase, trying to find my daughters the perfect play kitchen. I am very happy with my results with this chosen kitchen!! We had a plastic Fisherprice kitchen before but my almost three year old was growing out of it and needed something with more room to store her food and more realistic looking. This is PERFECT! I do want to say though it does take a pretty hefty time assembling BUT, it is WELL WORTH IT! It took my husband and I about 5 hours to put together but, that is because we were interrupted a few times by our two daughters and we also wanted to take our time and put it together as perfect as possible. This kitchen is the best kitchen I have come across and for a decent price for how well it is made! It is very sturdy and looks so adorable in our living room, it looks very realistic. It is very roomy, so your children will have plenty of room to store their food and kitchen essentials! My daughters love it! They play with it every day! The height is perfect for my almost three year old daughter and my one year old has no problem either Cheffing' it up in the kitchen [she can't reach the shelf above the microwave but, that just gives her something to explore when she gets a bit taller!] I can see them having this kitchen for years to come with how well the construction is made and also the height of the kitchen is tall enough for them to grow into as well. I am very satisfied with my purchase and look forward to purchasing more products for my two girls from Kidkraft. BEST KITCHEN! STURDY! REALISTIC! LOTS OF ROOM! Review: A bit of a project, but completely worthwhile when done! - Smart stuff: 1. the "oven" and "dishwasher" open horizontally like cupboards - while this is less accurate, it solves the problem of kids standing on the doors that in other sets open downward, and instantly are broken. 2. The set feels really solid, it's probably nicer than my actual kitchen cupboards and feels like it will last for a long time. I figured that "backsplash" was cardboard like so many flimsy bookshelves I've put together, but nope, it's actually wood - way better. 3. The colors are neutral - this is good both for multi-gender families as well as more aesthetically pleasing when plopped in amongst my other furniture. It's not the giant plastic eyesore so many other sets are. Not loving: 1. the door latches are a bit hard to maneuver for my 2 year old, despite her being VERY rough and physical, they are pretty stiff. Might loosen up over time, but some frustration when she can't open all the doors 2. Removable shelves in the two lower cabinets, not sure why but those shelves are the first thing she takes out. Wish they were just stationary, but this is a small gripe. 3. Putting it together took about 3 hours - it was definitely do-able, no individual task was that hard, I was able to do it myself with just the included materials + a power screwdriver, but I wasn't quite expecting that many steps. Was absolutely worth it though. Overall: We've had this put together for a few weeks now, and I love it. My just turned 2 year old is pretty tall for her age, but I can see this set lasting for years, and it works great for her now as well. It is streamlined enough to not be obnoxious, but still has all the bells and whistles (without anything that makes bell or whistle noises, YAY! The oven dials do click when turned, but there aren't any other sound effects, even the phone is just a block of wood. I find that refreshing after so many noisy flashing toys). The sink is her favorite part, and she yanks on the "spout" frequently but it is well made and surviving. I like how sturdy it is - unlike the plastic, I'm not worried she will tip it over, fall through it, or rip out the screws. This piece is basically furniture. It has a LOT of storage, so clean up is easy - all the play food and dishes can be stored inside the refridgerator and dishwasher without being seen. I also like that it is fairly neutral - both gender neutral and just design neutral. It is a large toy, but doesn't overwhelm my space with loud colors or garish finishes. It actually "matches" the armoire next to it quite well :) Highly recommended ## Features - A KidKraft Classics item—A curated collection of KidKraft original designs that remain favorites due to their heirloom quality, innovative features and overwhelming reviews.

My daughter wants a play kitchen but most are way too small.** A: Maybe... I had the same concern when I ordered it but it turned out to be fine. I have a tall 6 year old and it's perfect for her. **Q: Should I purchase cooking set and foods separately? Is this just a kitchen come with nothing to play?** A: You can purchase cooking set and foods separately **Q: How has this held up, for anyone who has had it a while?** A: I bought it in 2014. 7 years ago. Just as nice today as it was then **Q: Would transporting for Christmas morning down a full set of stairs be easy or is this something that should be build in the place its staying? how much room is needed for assembly** A: With two people carrying transporting downstairs won't be a problem unless you have a kink in your stairs. If so, it wouldn't likely make the turn easily. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ROOMY, STURDY AND WELL CONSTRUCTED, REALISTIC, PERFECT KITCHEN!

My 4 yo granddaughter loves it, and I did stock it with Melissa and Doug food and equipment. (She later asked me to take her home because, "My kitchen is waiting!) I like that this is realistic and even looks good in my son's living room. I'm not a fan of gaudy, bright colored plastic toys for role playing. Assembly was a challenge, but instructions had mostly clear, large pictures (no words). I am a long time DIY grandma who has helped build houses and repaired many things. It took me 5 hours total to assemble. I spent 2 hours assembling all of the handles, accessories, stove top, and shelf hardware. A lot of that time involved finding the correct parts and getting then out of the packaging. ***Alert- pay attention to the screws and bolts, as directions do not mention that some are brown to match the wood when visible, and others are chrome (they're all given the same letter/number key). Some of my time was wasted switching these around once I realized it. The main construction took three hours, and I had estimated one! Some of that was the hardware switching, but much was the counter top attachment- it would have been easier to attach all of the parts, such as the faucet, before attaching to the unit. The area around the sink had stubborn hardware that didn't want to stay tight, and I feel this is its most vulnerable spot for coming apart, especially since it is likely to be picked up at that edge. I must have removed it and started over at least four times. The microwave shelf post on mine is not quite right in height, and the top shelf is not straight because of it- tried to sand down one end (hard plastic) which improved it a little. I may eventually try to fix it again. Another useful tip from the You Tube video is to use dish soap on the screws. This was very helpful when screwing into plastic parts. It's all hand tighten; power tools would be risky for damage. ## Frequently Bought Together - KidKraft Uptown Espresso Wooden Play Kitchen with Play Phone, Chalkboard & Towel Rack, Espresso - Melissa & Doug Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Pretend Play Kitchen Set for Kids (8 pcs) - Melissa & Doug Food Groups - 21 Wooden Pieces and 4 Crates, Multi Play Food Sets For Kids Kitchen, Pretend Toy For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1097286-kidkraft-uptown-espresso-wooden-play-kitchen-with-play-phone-chalkboard](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1097286-kidkraft-uptown-espresso-wooden-play-kitchen-with-play-phone-chalkboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
