My 16 month old son just loves this! We call him our little chef because he is so overly interested in anything we are cooking and always wants to help. This is just so perfect for him and I believe something that will maintain his interest for years to come! It has so many cute little features. The fridge comes with a cup and ice cubes because the ice machine really "works"! He will stand there for an hour at a time filling up his glass over and over its just so cute! The stove and oven knobs click when you turn them, and he just loves that! It was super easy to put togather, directions were very well laid out and easy to understand. The inly tool I needed was a screw driver. All the doors open and close very easily, and there is an amazing amount of storage room for all the little kitchen essentials! It is a very sturdy, well built kitchen set.
