My son (4 years old) loves this kitchen! It replaced his plastic kitchen he was gifted when he was a baby. He really loves the ice maker on the refrigerator! Although the ice would get stuck at times which would frustrate him. I personally love the look much more than a plastic kitchen. It has a very modern look (subway tile, granite) which my kids thought was very cool since it resembled our own kitchen. Another positive is it had plenty of storage for our play food. Although my husband said the directions were a little confusing at times, he said overall it was pretty easy to assemble. Overall, we love the kitchen and it looks great in the playroom!
