First of all let me say this kitchen is absolutely adorable. The most notable is that it has so many realistic touches such as a kitchen towel/paper towel holder, a slot for a smart phone with a little mock smart phone included, dials that click and make noise when they are turned, and very realistic components. The counter top looks like a composite or speckled Formica, the unit feels substantial and solid. This will be well loved by my kiddos for years to come. I upgraded to the light colored wood with white counter & it looks great in my house. Very pleased & would recommend to others.
