This kitchen playset shipped and arrived very quickly all within a week. And that is a lot to say considering it was the Christmas season. I purchased this for my granddaughter. It was pretty straight forward to assemble, took a bit of time. Its super nice and modern looking. I am sure it will last for years. I only wish that Kidkraft would put pictures on the outside of the box of the finished product especially when you are giving it as a gift. Otherwise the box is a plain box with some letter printing. Love the finished product such a cute little kitchen.
