Beautiful kitchen once assembled. It took a skilled carpenter about 3 hours to assemble. Gil’s , ages ( 4-10) and one boy , age 3, played for hours. It is very sturdy! My nephew, a typical boy, climbed and stood on top for a second, until his mother scolded him . I love it and it is nothing like the cheap plastic ones being sold. It took me several months to make the decision to spend the extra money, but I am glad I decided on this one!
