I picked this kitchen set bec. of aesthetics and bec. of the drawers/cabinets (to hide clutter). Overall, I think its a great kitchen set. A few minor things that I noticed but not deal breakers were: the oven door is very loose, it would just open randomly and won't stay shut, there's nothing preventing the drawers from being pulled out all the way by kids, the rack on top of the stove doesn't snugly fit the plates/bowls. Lastly, the console above the oven is poorly designed that we basically had to drill it in there. It also requires a lot of batteries, but hey, what kid toy doesn't? These are all very minor things and I would still recommend this set.
