Heart of the Home Kids Kitchen Playset, Indoor/Outdoor Kitchenette, Interactive Play with Lights and Sounds, Made of Durable Plastic, Includes 40 Piece Toy Accessories, For Toddlers 2+ Years Old

The size is a perfect fit for my grandchildren. All the doors open and close with ease. Two items that make sound are one burner and the phone! Love the 5x7 photo frame. It was put together with ease. Step 2 reached out from customer support and answered all my questions. Extremely pleased with the purchase and support.

I would give this four and a half stars if I could. I bought this for my 2 year old as a late birthday gift, she was so excited the entire time I was building it for her. Putting it together was fairly easy it was just little things that made me frustrated. When you screw the pieces together the holes are not premade. The screws make the holes as you screw them in so you need to use quite a bit of force. I could’ve used my fiancé with putting it together, but he wasn’t available so some pieces are a little crooked as I couldn’t push down on the piece as I pushed on the screw to get them in. Putting stickers on toys is the bane of my existence and I stopped caring if they were straight after a while as I was frustrated. The only thing I truly did not like was how the blue piece was warped when I took it out of the box. I also had no idea where it went, I think it’s meant to go in the fridge? And then the “towel” it comes with is a little white wash cloth and not the bigger green one shown, not sure if that’s a mistake or they forgot to show the change in product. The fridge door does seem to hang lower than it should, to close it you just lift the door a bit. It took me about 1-1.5 hours to put it together by myself with a toddler running around. The food it came with is sad, I’m glad I bought different play food.

This is an AMAZING kitchen set and our daughter LOVES it. It was easy to assemble (although I would recommend using a drill to pre-drill the holes in the plastic before using the screws, it made it so much easier). The stickers are great quality printing and this kitchen it very sturdy and stable if you assemble it correctly. It comes with two place settings (plates, bowls, cups, and utensils) for a little table and a pot and pan that make different sound effect when placed on the battery powered burner (pot makes bubbling noise, and pan makes a sizzle noise). It also comes with a few play food items and even though we decided to buy an add on set it came with plenty to get playtime started. It has been several weeks since we gave this to our daughter and it is still very much a daily play item for her and especially when she has company. I cannot tell you how many pretend dinners she has cooked for us at this point. My only suggestion with this is to take your time with assembly and do it right. The instructions can be a bit confusing if you are trying to rush it. Overall I think this is one of my most successful gift purchases ever. Also, I think that this kitchen would be perfect for a boy or girl. It's not really geared toward either one and the little boys seem to love playing on it as much as the girls do.

I read hundreds of reviews for hundreds of kitchens, but I kept coming back to this one and I'm glad we picked it. We've only had it for a week, but it's amazing. Answers to some of the critiques I read: It's really hard to put together and takes forever - It took us two ladies 1.5 hours with 2 screwdrivers and a hammer and we both thought it was very simple. It Would be hard for someone to do alone though, but not impossible. There aren't holes for the screws - Yes, you want to have to make the holes yourself for stability. We found that using a hammer to get the screw started and to make the initial hole worked well. Some people used a drill, which obviously would work, but you don't want to strip the hole so we chose the hammer. No one's fingers got boinked. It was dusty - Yes, it came from a warehouse and it Was dusty, so we wiped it off. The stickers don't stick, or they stick too well - They stick like stickers, just put them down carefully and smooth out the edges. The fridge doesn't close well - That is legit, but I don't mind that you have to close it from the bottom because it stays closed then. Not a lot of food comes with it - If you can afford to buy your kid this kitchen, you can add a separate purchase of extra play food. There is a space between the cabinet doors - Yes, which makes it easier for his chubby little 3-year-old fingers to open them. Parts were missing - That is serious. In our case, all parts were accounted for. Things I like about it: The pet food area has been one of his favorite things. All the little extras, like the shopping bag and cloth are so fun for him. The deep sink allows him to wash all his dishes. The little cutting board has gone unnoticed by him, but I think it's adorable. It's big and charming looking. It's sturdy! The sound affects are a hoot (just the phone and the pot and pan when on the stove make noise). He loves seeing the picture and he loves taking his utensils down. In conclusion - this is a great plastic kids kitchen!

I actually really like this kitchen. It's nice and big and my grand daughter should be using this for a while. I used a hand screw driver and found it easy with some force to screw together, found no issue with this as read in some reviews. Directions were easy to follow and like all toddler furniture assembly the decals need to be placed carefully, they have a strong sticky back so aim well and for larger placements use a credit card to smooth out to avoid bubbles. The reason for 4 star, the counter top had some scratches and the refrigerator door which came assembled is off so my toddler has to give it a slam to shut. I'm going to work on the door, looks like the top hinge has a bump that prevents it from positioning correctly and plan to put some contact paper over scratches. All in all great kitchen.

We bought this kitchen for a one year old boy. I agonized over the purchase, since I was very drawn to the wooden kitchens. I read a ton of reviews and finally ended up with this one, and I think it was the right decision. The first part of the kitchen that really caught his attention was the burner that makes noise and lights up. None of the wooden ones have a feature like this, and once his attention was caught, he would stand at the burner and move stuff around up there and entertain himself while I cooked (we have ours in the actual kitchen). This is still how he gets engaged in the kitchen, we'll toggle the sound and put some food in the pot and he will come on over to help. Of all of his toys, this kitchen has kept him independently engaged the longest. The plastic is not heavy so I'm not worried it will crush him. He's able to open and close all the doors. I assembled the kitchen myself--I had an electric screwdriver from IKEA which made it a lot easier and faster; assembly wasn't too bad overall. I think the kitchen is cute and it accommodates a lot of toy food. Even his ten year old brother was interested in the kitchen for a while and he would bring me meals and pretend to be a server.

This was a perfect buy for us. I searched high and low for the best kitchen. My budget was $100.00 but after weighing the pros and cons of this one vs countless others, I decided it was worth the extra $40 and went ahead with the purchase. I'm so glad I did! I have two kids, five and one. I needed something tall enough for the oldest but not overly tall for the youngest. I also wanted something that made noise and something that was wide enough that they both could play at the same time. This was it! It came in two boxes and was easy enough to put together. We did have to drill holes for the screws ourselves, but I knew I would have to from reading previous reviews. I do find it funny that the instructions call for a simple screwdriver. That would never work, you need a drill, for sure. But, even before we drilled all the screws in, I put it together and let the kids play with it until dad got home with the tools. The only thing that was easy to detach was the sink, everything else stays together fairly well even without the screws. This set is great and the kids love when the pans bubbly and sizzle. Definitely worth the extra $40. And with the sturdiness of it, I think we are in for years of fun with this. Thanks Step2!

Great pretend kitchen. After much debate, I'm so glad we chose Step2 over other (wooden) options. This kitchen was super simple to assemble. I love that it looks like a real kitchen with different surfaces like stone and ceramic, and with appliances that look like stainless steel. I love the cooking accessories provided with this kitchen. I love that the stove makes cooking noises when a pan is placed on the burner. There's enough play space for my 3 girls (18 mo-3 yrs) so they can all enjoy playing with the kitchen at the same time. My 18 mo old can easily reach the microwave and cabinet, and yet it's not too small for my much taller 3 yr old. I love that it's not girly looking, so even my older boys play with this from time to time. Highly recommend!
