We’ve had the tacky and bulky plastic play kitchens in the past and they were such an eye sore. This play kitchen is more pleasing to the eye and it blends in with the rest of our furniture (it sits in our dining room). It was easy for my husband to put together and I LOVE that’s in small in size. I was disappointed however about some scratches and blemishes that were on the sink area when it arrived. I added in the pics.
