I bought the item for my 20 month old and 5 year old grandsons. They love it but I can only give it 4 stars because within 2 weeks we are having trouble keeping the oven door shut- a complaint of other purchasers. I might need to use velcro pads to keep it shut. The children love the burner that sounds, the telephone, the microwave and the utility light. It is well designed and was packaged with minimal extra padding. It was fairly easy to assemble. We received numerous plastic food items and dishes so overall, I think it is a great toy.
