I purchased this kitchen set for my 4 grandchildren.  (Three boys (ages 3, 2, 1) and one girl (6 months) I plan on keeping this at my house along with play food, dishes, pots and pans, etc. This set is so nice!  My husband was very impressed with the workmanship and durability.   It took him about 4 hours to assemble but it appears as it it will last for many years.  All the knobs work and there is plenty of storage for all the "food" I purchased to go along with it.  It is a wonderful "toy" that is gender neutral and great for many ages. I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas.   I would highly recommend this item!
