Can't say I had the most fun putting the set together but I did start after a long shift and some errands.  I had a little trouble with the instruction but i figured it out. Some of the pieces that it called for is not included but it still worked for me I'm not sure how long it took to put together also since I had a eager toddler ready to play but how can you Blame the kid this set is absolutely beautiful and worth the time it took to pur together. The colors are great together, it comes with accessories, its very sturdy, and has sounds on the knob. We love it hours of play time especially if you have a little chef in the making.
