Very heavy box and toy. Took me about 3 to 4 hours by myself to put it together. Was easy directions just helpful if you have someone else to help you put it together. Very sturdy kitchen, my girls ages 6 to 3 love this kitchen. Colors are bright and doors are easy to open and close. A little worried about the clear part on the oven. It is just a thin piece of plastic. But over all A VERY GREAT BUY FOR ME!
