Quite a few pieces to put together but it is pretty sturdy. My 1 year old granddaughter loves it as it is just the right size and she can open the doors and the lid very easily. My 4 year old likes to pretend to cook so finds it fun but it is a little short for her. We have it on the deck and it is nice we can put the toys they use right inside of it. I wish it was a bit heavier as the littlest one can move it but all in all we are all pleased with it and they do play with it. I would recommend this for a 1 to 3 year old.
