The assembly was fairly easy. Took about 15-20 minutes after all the stuff was unpacked. It looks amazing. It is adorable and our 2 yr old loves it! She will most likely get many years of use out of it.  I also love that you get so much in the set. The tiny details are very well taken care of. The fridge water dispenser comes with a water cup. The buttons actually make plausible real sounds. 

I think this was one of the best purchases (in the toy department) for our little one. She uses this more than almost anything else we have.

I would highly recommend this item, for your kids, or even as a gift.
