I have been very pleased with this little kitchen! In terms of assembly, this is my 3rd kitchen to assemble and it was very straightforward compared to the others I have done. The instructions were clear and concise. My preschooler loves it! And I love that it’s so cute and easy on the eyes. It’s in a main area of our house and I appreciate that it fits so nicely with our style and is not an eyesore:)
