I picked this kitchen out for a family member to purchase for my 19-month old daughter. I bought the older version for my niece in 2008 and she loved it. I was thrilled to see that Step 2 had updated the design to reflect current kitchen design.  No surprise, my daughter loves this kitchen.  My only complaints are that some of the parts don't seem to fit quite right.  The upper cabinets will not close all the way.  The oven wouldn't close at all, so my brother-in-law had to install a screw at the top to hold it closed (Step 2 is sending a part to help it latch in a couple of weeks).  The refrigerator door is hard to close.  Lastly, the plates and bowls don't stay in the slots in the upper cabinets, making those slots pointless.  I am still giving it 4 stars because the design is great, the sounds are really fun, and it included enough accessories to give her a good start.
