My grandson is 6 and still loves to play kitchen, so when I saw that this one is designed with older kids in mind, I had to get it.  I'm so glad I did - and so is he.  It's very sturdy and has great stickers to give life to the drawers, walls & appliances.  Assembly was easy.  Only 1 hiccup:  the bag with all the knobs, screws, faucet, etc.. did not contain the faucet and handles.  But, one quick call to the Step 2 company and one week later, we had everything we needed and more.  Their customer service was spot-on.  I highly recommend this kitchen.
