I searched forever to find a great kitchen set for my kids when I came across this one. It's perfect and my kids absolutely love it! It's very sturdy and durable.  The wood isn't cheap walmart wood and it looks great. It is very heavy so I would suggest putting it together where the set will be played with. The instructions were pretty simple to follow, however it does take several hours to assemble. So my advice would be to make sure you have plenty of time and no children around when you put it together. I'm very happy with this kitchen set. It's one that will definitely last for several years. Very happy mom and kids :)
