KidKraft Vintage Wooden Play Kitchen with Pretend Ice Maker and Play Phone, Pink

absolutely love the Vintage Play Kitchen Cuisine by KidKraft! I purchased it for my granddaughter, and it is honestly the cutest little kitchen. The vintage design is charming, stylish, and looks so adorable in the room. It has such a classic feel and is well worth the purchase. Assembly does take some time, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I put it together completely by myself, and since I took my time, it took me about two days. Everything was very organized, with the parts separated neatly by letter categories, which reminded me of an advent calendar. My only small suggestion would be to pay close attention to the hardware labeling before starting. Some pieces had duplicate letters (like two A’s and two B’s), so it helps to review the instructions first and identify which screws are decorative exterior screws versus interior screws. Once I figured that out, it went smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend this play kitchen. It is adorable, sturdy, and such a special gift for any child!

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 & inspection 2.5 ht assembly 3.0 hr total time Design: 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)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 Stars – Pink, Playful, and Packed With Charm (and a Pretend Ice Maker, Thank You Very Much) If you’re looking for a toy that will immediately become the main attraction in your living room, look no further than the KidKraft Vintage Wooden Play Kitchen in that dreamy retro pink. This kitchen is so cute, I kind of wish it came in an adult size so I could play in it, too. (I mean, who wouldn’t want a play phone next to their icebox?) We got this for our twin granddaughters, and let me just say: hours—I repeat, hours—of entertainment. And not just the kind of half-hearted, distracted play. No, no. I’m talking full-on restaurant scenarios, phone calls to Grandma (“What you want for dinner?”), and ice cubes on demand. Why it’s a top-tier toy in our house: 🍽️ Built to last – This thing is made of real wood. It’s sturdy, it’s not going anywhere, and it’s classy enough that it doesn’t scream “plastic chaos” in the corner of your home. 📞 Pretend phone + ice maker = toddler luxury – These two features are played with so much, I’m convinced they think that’s what a kitchen is for. The knobs click, the doors open, and the imagination goes wild. 🎀 Gorgeous vintage design – This pink beauty looks like it time-traveled out of a 1950s diner and landed straight into cuteness heaven. It has charm, it has sass, and it looks adorable in any playroom. 🍴 Tons of storage – All the plastic food, utensils, and random socks they decide to “cook” fit inside the cabinets or on the shelves. It’s secretly organizing my house and I’m not mad about it. Assembly tip: Yes, it takes a bit of time to put together, but pour yourself a cup of coffee, queue up a good playlist, and it’ll be done before the kids can say “Can I help?” (Spoiler: they can’t. Let them help decorate it afterward instead.) Final verdict? Buy it. Your little chefs will be cooking up memories, pretend meals, and some of the most creative messes you’ve ever seen—and you’ll love every second of it.

This took four hours to assemble. Two hours by myself and the last two hours with help. The directions appear to be very well laid out and fool proof but don't that initial impression deceive you. There are some details that should have and could have been better explained to make the process smoother. For example, pay attention from the start to which screws are painted and which are not so that you are not unscrewing and taking apart the kitchen at hour 3.5 to retrieve some painted screws for the last few steps. The screws are all labelled in a package and appears to be very well labelled, so you may not pay attention to this detail in the beginning but save yourself the headache and constantly be asking yourself, "should this be a painted screw or not?". Some C size screws are painted. Some are not. This can mostly be put together with one person but I did ask for help attaching the doors because they go on better if you have an extra set of hands holding things level. I am not very technically inclined and I do not enjoy putting things together, but I managed to get through a lot of this on my own. I was a little bummed to discover that the oven opens with a side hinge unlike the majority of most real ovens. Small detail but disappointing. Some of the aqua laminate was scratched or rubbed off on some edges so I have a feeling this is going to be pretty beat up in a few months! There are a few design flaws in the pieces that make up the microwave (the side panel sticks out beyond the rest of the kitchen, you will see what I mean). I was pretty bummed about this because it is an obvious flaw that occurred during the design process that should have been caught and corrected during manufacturing , but its not an issue really as long as you dont' look at the kitchen from the side or back. Once it was all put together I must say that I was pretty dang pleased because it is so gosh darn cute! All the blood, sweat, and tears putting it together were worth it!! When my two year old son came down the stairs on Christmas morning and saw this set up, his eyes got as big as saucers and he leapt out of my arms to run and play with the kitchen. It definitely has a HUGE wow factor and makes a great gift from Santa. He played with it all Christmas day and I was so glad that I ended up getting this. The fridge is nice and roomy and can hold a ton of toy food. The oven seems like a good size. It doesn't hold the cookie tray from Melissa and Doug (the oven is about 1.5" too shallow). I am blaming Melissa and Doug for that, however. :) We put the cookie tray on the bottom shelf below the sink and pretend that is the oven when its time to bake cookies. My son loves playing with all the different doors and answering the phone while he is cooking. There is really a lot of fun to be had with this toy. We have it in the color aqua which is pretty close to how it looks on the screen but maybe a little darker. It is beautiful. Has so much character. I bought this on sale on December 11th for $107. Two days later it was even further discounted for $85 so if you are considering purchasing, maybe watch the prices for a while. I assembled this in my basement to hide from my son and had to carry it up the stairs by myself for Christmas morning. I am sharing that because I want anyone who is hesitant to purchase because they aren't sure if they will be able to carry it up stairs by themselves to know that it can be done. I'm a female 125 pounds. I opened the bottom refrigerator door and put one arm in there and then wrapped my other arm under the microwave and upper shelf.

This is a beautiful high quality product. I got my daughter the one in white so as to match our own kitchen cabinets. She received it for Christmas when she was about 1.5 years old. She has had it for several months now. First, building it was a little bit difficult. My brother who does manual labor with tools all day found it to be a bit tedious and difficult to tighten things in (like the legs) without hurting his hands from the turning of the screws. Some of the wood split from the pressure of the screws going in. But he built it by himself in approximately two hours, while snacking on Christmas cookies. I bought a bunch of food and pots and pans to go with it, and as nother Christmas gift my daughter got a table and chair set. For Christmas morning we filled it up with the food, and the table set for a meal. Since she is too young to unwrap everything I just put big bows on it. When my daughter came down in the morning and saw it all she was amazed. She played with the set for a great deal the first few days, but her interest waned after awhile. Over the past few months, the table and chairs seemed to have been a better gift for her age because she liked to sit at a table for her size and play with crayons or playdoh. Despite the kitchen not being one of her favorite toys, I couldn't imagine not having it. It is a nice looking piece, and has plenty of storage for fake food and other toys. I think as she gets older she will appreciate it more. I wanted to get this brand because the children's museum near us has one in red and my daughter liked playing with it whenever we went there. I suspect, that at this young age, she might have been more engaged by a kitchen set that was more colorful, and made noises and effects. But, I think I would find a garish color or loud noises to be tiring after awhile. I think it was worth the investment as a standard toy for a child's collection, much like a doll house, or a swing set would be. It is a good storage unit as well. I know we have many years of use ahead of us, since she is almost 2 now. It might be that playing kitchen is not very engaging for her yet.

We bought this in red for our 16 month old for Christmas. It is absolutely the perfect size for her. Had we bought another brand, it would have been too big and she would have not been able to play with it to its fullest potential. It was pretty easy to put together, HOWEVER, I do have some advice: 1. When assembling the 4 little legs, PRE-DRILL the existing holes, otherwise you will end up like I did and have to order replacement parts (which was no biggie, because KidKraft has EXCELLENT customer service and sent me whatever I asked for in about 3 days at NO CHARGE- awesome!) 2. Have both a manual and electric screwdriver on hand, because some of those little hinge screws can be troublesome with a manual driver. 3. You will need to have a (very) short common screw driver because when you attach the top piece, it is hard to access the locking heads with a standard-sized driver. 4. Have someone hold the doors for you as you screw in the hinge screws, and use that same person to help tighten those screws with the wrench (so much easier with two people!) 5. DO NOT unwrap any of the little pieces until you need them because you will need the numbers to stay on them, and do not take off the numbers from the pieces until you have completely assembled the product. I think it took about 1.5 hrs to assemble after I had to start over due to my first attempt, failure, and ordering replacement parts. The directions were all pictures which I prefer because of the numbering system. The price was excellent as compared to others. We searched for a suitable kitchen set for a 16 month old, and this was excellent in both size and value for the money. It seems extremely durable and is a good weight so that it can't be pulled over. I love all the little features, too: the doors that open(and the microwave and oven have "glass" doors), the knobs that turn and click, the water dispenser on the fridge door, the phone, and my favorite, the turntable in the microwave. It also is very authentic with a vintage style that is unlike any others I've seen. It is a nice piece of furniture, not just a toy, that looks good in our living room. We also got some food and accessory kits: all wooden food sets-cutting food box, pantry and fridge products, sandwich making set, and magnetic bottle set(Melissa and Doug), stainless pots and pans (Just like Home), and the plate set (Green Toys) which we got all from Amazon. These got perfectly with it, and I will purchase more of this kind for future gifts! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this product and this company. I cannot wait to see how my daughter will play with this as she grows and develops.

This adorable kitchen set has withstood the test of time and toddler playtime. Originally purchased for my oldest in 2013 she loved it. Many of tea parties, pretend dinner and playing house had been enjoyed by multiple children. It still stands and is played with by family over 10 years later now.

*If you have a question I didn't address here, please comment. I can usually reply within 24 hours!* I will try to keep this review short, however, I want to be sure I cover everything. First, I have to say that any "negative" is SO WORTH IT for his product. That's why I gave it 5 stars. But I WILL be covering what some of the struggles are with it along with some things I think could have taken it to the next level. COLOR The color on my screen matched the color of the product I received. Of course, screen settings may vary, but you are going to get an aqua/robin's egg blue shade. It's not a "simple light blue". There is a nuance to this color that gives it a distinct retro feel, like there is a SLIGHT hint of mint mixed in with your light blue. It's really just the most charming color. Ever. QUALITY These are solid-wood pieces. This was probably better quality than some of the adult furniture in my house. The paining is clean and there were only 2 small chips that are not visible when assembled that were around screw holes. The shipping packaging is well thought out to keep the item from being damaged. Have a garbage bag on hand to deal with the pesky Styrofoam, though! WHAT'S INCLUDED JUST the kitchen. No pots, pans, utensils, or play food. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACCESSORIES If you want some recommendations, they are as follows: Pots, Pans, Utensils: Melissa & Doug Let's Play House! Pots Pans Set Food: Hape, Playfully Delicious Garden Salad set, Hape Playfully Delicious Hamburger and Hot Dogs, Learning Resources New Sprouts sets (we did Health Dinner, Healthy Lunch, and Healthy Breakfast), Learning Resources New Sprouts Waffle Time, Plan Toys Breakfast Menu. Dress Up: KidKraft Tasty Treats Chef Accessory Set ASSEMBLY This is a time-consuming task. I really doubt it can be assembled in an hour, but hey, maybe you are faster than me. This took me 2 hours, maybe 3? At first I was thinking, this is pretty easy, but as you go on, you start to be like... what the heck? Suddenly you need different kind of pieces, and it's jarring. But those pieces are absolutely needed and could not have been replaced with anything else that I can think of. Keep in mind, there are NO written directions. Pictures only. I did encounter a few problems with assembly. Some were my fault. Problem 1) Although I started at image 1 for about 10 minutes, trying to be sure I had the board facing the right direction and the was putting the plastic piece on correctly, it wasn't until near the end when I was attaching that piece to another bigger piece that I realized I actually put the plastic piece on the wrong side of the wood! Not only that, but when I was first assembling, I wasn't sure if they wanted me to screw from both sides, as there were what looks like more than one set of screw holes on the plastic. So I tried screwing from both sides, couldn't, and as a result, when it ended up being on the "wrong" side, and I moved it to the correct side, you could see two spots where I ruined the wood. So, here's what you need to know: At no point do you need to screw a hole into the wood. All the holes you need area already there. I've assembled a lot of furniture and sometimes you DO need to screw the wood yourself in certain spots, so this was the cause of my confusion. Problem 2) Getting the "legs" of the kitchen on takes some serious man hands! I have bruises on my hand from the task. It was VERY resistant, an perhaps one of the most frustrating and time consuming tasks in putting this together. I actually had doubts I could even get the back legs on correctly because it seemed impossible for my hand to push that allen wrench while holding the leg still despite the resistance for the screw to go in. But alas, I did it. It sucked, but I did it. Tip 1: At one point, you need to screw these little clip things on. "R" I think. The first time or two, you only need one clip. So I didn't notice as I went on that some of the pieces require this clip on either side. So when I caught on, I had to unscrew and redo. Tip 2: Make sure that when you put the little "nuts" on that you put the wrenchable-side flush against the wood. This will make it easier to hold the nuts still while you screw in the bolts for those pieces. For some reason, I was putting them on upside down at first, which made things more complicated than they needed to be... Tip 3: Have someone help you put on the doors. It makes things a thousand times easier. My 6 year old with autism helped me. Maybe you have more brain cells than I do and my problems never would have been a problem for you. But if, like me, you have "mommy brain" and aren't always working at full capacity, these tips may save you a few troubles. FEATURES The doors "snap" open and closed; I like that they can be securely shut but without needing too much force to open. Seems they found the sweet spot in this delicate balance. The product comes with an anchoring kit so that you can anchor this safely to your wall, if you so choose. "Spinnable" microwave. Removable "baking tray" in the oven. Stove/Oven knobs "click" when you turn them. Phone with "cradle" ... this is my 2 year old's favorite part so far. She keeps picking up the phone and "babbling"... which is pretty amazing since she is speech delayed and doesn't babble normally :) SIZE It wouldn't hurt if it was a TAD taller to prolong the length of time (age wise) it can be played with standing, however, it's really a great size for a 2-4 year old, and beyond that, kids can either hunch over a little or sit up on their knees to play. This is what my 8 year old has been doing. Our 2 year old is the perfect height for this. It's on par with the height/size of most play kitchens. STORAGE I was hoping I would be able to store more in the fridge and cabinets, but overall, I can store a few things at a time. For example, I keep the salad kit on one shelf, and the waffle kit on another. Then I have room at the bottom that I could probably stack 2 baskets filled of things. There's another cabinet under the sink where I keep utensils, and in the "open cabinet" under that I keep the apron and chef's hat. I would recommend getting some small baskets (measure to see which size would fit best) so that you can store the playfood in the basket inside the fridge. Or get a container to keep all the playfood in. You can also store a small bowl of fake fruit next the microwave, as you see in the stock image. Finally, we keep the Melissa and Doug pots and pan set above the fridge, and then a toaster and mixer above the microwave/shelf. IDEAS FOR IMPROVEMENT I would LOVE to see them upgrade the fridge to have a fake ice dispenser. We almost got a different set that had this feature, and that was really the only thing that almost swayed our decision. I think we like this one more than we would have liked that one, but it was hard to let go of the ice dispenser, which seemed like such a fun idea. It dispensed wooden ice cubes. Anyway, if they DO make this upgrade, PLEASE (please please please) a) make it fit into the current "drink dispenser" location b) offer it for sale separately so people who want to upgrade can do so affordably c) send out an email to those who have purchased this so they know it's available. Seriously, if they added that, this would be BEYOND perfect! OVERALL We are extremely pleased with our purchase and the kids LOVE it--and that is the most important thing. I think this is one of the best purchases we've ever made. Also, my husband saw it and assumed I must have spent "at least 300 on it" and didn't believe me the price was half that until I showed him the product on Amazon. It's really an impressive toy!

Unsere Tochter (16 Monate) hat diese Küche zu Weihnachten bekommen. Der Aufbau war zwar langwierig - aber die Vormontage und die Aufbauanleitung waren sehr gut! Es sind eben sehr viele Details, die diese Küche zu etwas Besonderem machen. Die Küche ist echt top, super Qualität. Nicht schön waren die Schließer. Diese mußten wir 'nacharbeiten'. Ansonsten wäre es selbst für eine Erwachsenen schwer gewesen die Türen zu öffnen! Ob man sich für die Farbe weiss einschließen sollte ist fraglich, da diese naturgemäß recht empfindlich ist ... Alles in allem: Nicht günstig aber sehr schön und mit hohem Spaßfaktor!!! KidKraft 53208 - Weisse Retro Küche

it was my dauther birthday and i gift her this she is loving it and very happy

رائع جدا و وصلت الي في اسرع وقت

Très jolie rendu, de bonne qualité ( noté que si jamais vous êtes maladroit il y a des vis en plus dans un sachet noté extra) les vis sont toute trier dans des compartiments ce qui facilite vraiment le montage même si il faut compter quand même deux bonnes heures pour monter la cuisine. Petit bémol au niveau du four la plaque qui divisé le four en deux parti est quand à elle l'a seule à être un peu mal conçu (elle se balade et rien ne permet de la fixer) et la porte du micro-ondes est aussi une des seules à ne pas avoir de cal ( évitant ainsi qu'elle s'ouvre toute seul) alors que les autres placard en sont équipés. Mais à part ces petits détails il n'y a vraiment rien à dire. Je recommande.
