My 8 almost 9 year old daughter LOVES this kitchen.  I put it together for her in about an hour  a half.  It was reasonably easy with only 1 hiccup on part 15 (the screw broke off in the wood trim piece).  We all agree that the light up stove top with sounds, microwave light  sounds, and the ice cubes that come out of the ice maker are so realistic  and awesome!!  If this kitchen were taller it would be absolutely perfect but my husband is going to make a platform for it to sit on.  The only complaint I have is the plastic gray part of the stove top was cracked  bent a little (see pictures) and a tiny chip in the counter top but overall in perfect condition.
