Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is wonderful. It makes real noises for boiling water. The microwave & Oven even make appropriate noises. My daughter loves to play with her new kitchen. It was easy to put together too.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
very realistic. the 2 year old loved the idea that she couldput the lights on by herself
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I watch my 21 month old Granddaughter full-time. Got her this kitchen for Xmas...WAS A BIG HIT. 2 months latter and she is still "cooking" a few hours everyday! I also got her the table and chairs by Step 2 and she loves to "serve" meals there. The kitchen is realistic and laid out perfectly for children. The only issue we have had is that she has stood on the oven door so much, it will no longer stay shut (her fault not the products). I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF STEP2 PRODUCTS! I have also purchased the roller coaster, which she also loves. Their products are easy to assemble and DURABLE and reasonably priced. I prefer them to Little Tikes ANY DAY!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Took about an hour to put together which is not bad at all. Great product. My son is 3 and he simply adores it. My 7 year old and my 3 year old play with this for hours. Great buy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My girls not only love this kitchen,but I do,too!! It's so fun to watch them create and just have a blast. And most of the time they get along while their cooking Mommy and Daddy dinner! I would recommend this to every and anybody who needs a play kitchen. Excellent product!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd b-day, and after a month I already feel like we've gotten our money's worth from it! She plays with it daily, sometimes for an hour or two at a time, and it is by far her favorite toy.
My friends with children the same age who got other kitchens are not nearly as satisfied...I don't know if my daughter is just unusually happy with her kitchen, or if it's the specific one, but she doesn't seem all that interested in her friends' kitchens.
I would recommend this to everyone. It is perfect for a 2-year-old, and I think she will still be able to play with it as she gets older.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Nice compact size for small homes. Lots of cabinets/doors/drawers for the little one to open and close. Yes they are small, but still large enough to hold little toys. Took about 45 mins to put together with two people. Make sure you have a lot of batteries prior to putting together. I agree with other reviewers that the kitchen would be better if the sink faucet and refrigerator made noise. Also, the set should come with more toy foods/pots/pans. Overall I am happy with the purchase.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We added this to a baby doll nursery set for our daughter, so now she can really "play house". Really like the cabinets and drawers. A good number of accessories which makes it fun as well. Just be prepared that this kitchen will require lots of batteries. Also needed help from husband to fully assemble all pieces. But overall, a great purchase and will provide lots of fun over the years.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My kids ages 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 love their new kitchen set. It's really cute, sturdy, was easy to assemble (only ran into one small problem where there were a couple missing pre-drilled holes for the backsplash - but it didn't really matter. My only complaint is that there isn't a lot of storage space for dishes, food, etc. The items that come with it fit fine, but if you have more then that it won't all fit. Otherwise, it's a nice little set!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We have it in our family room and the boys play with it pretty much everyday. They like to make pretend meals for us . It has plenty of drawers and things to keep them entertained!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Good product, but poor manual [...] Assembly became a bit difficult due to that.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Santa brought this kitchen for our daughter for Christmas and it was a huge hit! She absolutely adores "baking" cookies and pies in the oven and enjoys the realistic controls. This kitchen has a ton of storage, was easy to assemble and in our opinion, is a great value for the money. Buy with confidence - we highly recommend!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We were so excited when my parents bought this for my daughter. Most of the kitchen is great, but the oven door will not stay closed. It is too tight of a fit and pops open seconds after closing. This make it seem like a step for my daughter to climb.
I contacted Step2 and they sent me a screw to make it close, but as I told them when they offered me this as a solution - the door is too tight. There is no way adding this screw will solve the problem.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The kitchen was smaller than expected, however, it is very realistic and cute. I was about to get the bigger one that came with the dishwasher, but this one turned out to be a much better deal considering the amount for which they had it on sale at the time, and that it came with almost the same amount of accessories as the bigger and more expensive ones. I would improve all kitchens by adding more play food, and that is why I did not give it the five stars. Over all, it has a lot of fun sounds, which makes it a nice toy indeed.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is perfect for my 1 year old grandson. It fits in his "real" kitchen, so he can cook along with Mommy. :)
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
the product is a nice design and my daughter loves playing pretend.[...]
i would suggest that the product is tested out before it is packed and shipped. making sure that if there is a door, it should be able to stay close when it is meant to be closed.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
When this showed up at my house my dad questioned me buying a kitchen for a boy!!! I told him that my 2 year old loves to get into my kitchen drawers and play with the real thing. He also broke 2 drawers hanging on them trying to get my stuff out. That is when I made the decision to by this for my son's birthday. He absolutely loves it esp. all the noises it makes. So far he has stayed out of my stuff. This is also great for an apartment because it is more compact than the Deluxe version. I am a single mom and it only took me an hour to put together even with my son "helping" me. A cordless drill is very useful too. P.S. My dad still doesn't understand :o)
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Overall, product was excellent and my 2-year-old daughter really loves it. Glad I was smart enough to put this together on 12/23 instead of waiting for Christmas Eve. Be patient... it will take about 90-minutes+ to put it together but it's worth it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My child loves the Dream Kitchen. It's similar to the one she plays with at her day care center, except they have the Deluxe. It's realistic, it makes microwave, oven, and stovetop sounds. It also has a working light. My daughter always pretends she is cooking and can't get enough of it. The only down side of the product is that it has too many separate parts that need to be put together, and there are no pilot holes drilled for the screws. This makes assembly a bit strenuous. I'm a father, and I'm very handy, however, I can't imagine how tough it would be for moms to put it together.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is the second kitchen that I have purchased, the twin girls liked it, but the two boys LOVE it! They are facinated with all the doors and draws,
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The many compartments makes for hours of creative play.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The design and quality is great,there's more than enough storage for all of their dishes and foods,you provided more than enough dishes.{we bought extra thinking they wouldn't have enough to play with} I just wished that both burners made sounds, or there was 4 burners with sounds for them to cook on, but overall they love it,and when one is playing alone they have a great time. I'm very impressed with it, and would purchase another one in a heartbeat...Just only wished It was around when I was their age.
To prevent them from arguing over who's cooking on the eye with the sound, I would add more burners with sounds, also add light inside the oven along with a timer to let them know that their food is done.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Cute kitchen with lots of drawers and countertop space. It uses a lot of batteries, maybe it should just come with a plug. The oven door didn't stay closed, but a piece of cardboard wedged under the door keeps it shut.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Bought for my 2 year old granddaughter. She absolutely loves it. Even her 5 yr old brother plays with it with her. Perfect size, very sturdy, very easy to put together. Great product. Thanks!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The oven door would not stay closed and a call to Step2's customer service brought a solution! They are so efficient and friendly! We've bought several large items from Step2 for our grandchildren and the customer service from start to finish is unbeatable!
We love Step2!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The kitchen is Great! My granddaughter loves it!!!
If I were to suggest a few changes it would be a little more storage or better yet a pantry that matches,would be prefect for those of us that want the extra storage. The buttoms on the burners that make the cooking sounds need to redesigned,they do not stick up high enough,so when a pan is but on the burner it makes the sounds. I added a little paper under the bunner sticker and now they WORK!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen was a hit with my 23 month old daughter. She loves the interaction of the lights and boiling water.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Its a very cute kitchen, but it took awhile to assemble. It takes a lot of batteries. The refrigerator door gets stuck. And the drawers come undone when pushed in or pulled out in a certain way. Also the toy phone's battery lid doesn't stay shut. The screw won't hold its grip. Other than that it was a good purchase at a reasonable price.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 and 4 year old girls LOVE this kitchen. They play with it frequently (especially when someone's cooking a real meal).
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I would be nice if the faucet had a realistic sound.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Overall, the product is nice. However, the assembly was extremely time-consuming. I also wish the drawers would not pull all the way out.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this set for our 16 month old daughter. It is a great size for her but will be great when she's older too. Her older brothers (4 & 8)actually play with it too even though the 8 year old does so secretly:) Built very well and comes with enough pots, pans, dishes and food. Has a LOT of storage to hold extra dishes and food.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
great product, my three grandchildren realy enjoy playing with it. they are 2,3,4. i got it in two days. thanks
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this toy for my 2 year old daughter for Christmas of 09. And she loves it. It was easy to emsemble. I would recommend this toy I give 5 stars. [...] Ordered directly from Step 2 website.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Only problem I had was the drawer front where u had to press the basket to the front. Kinda of week entry points but if done slowly and very carefully all is well. Great product overall and my daughter absolutely loves it and plays with it twice a day.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Kitchen is so cute..my children love it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This was a Christmas present for my 2 yo and he is having so much fun with it. My 6 yo is enjoying it just as much. They do a great job playing together with it and serving mom and dad lots of yummy plastic treats. It's the perfect size for where we have it. The only "con" I have is that there really isn't much storage, so we use an extra container to keep all the dishes/food in.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 14-month-old got this for Christmas after loving a similar one at her babysitter's house. Several weeks later, she still plays with it every day and loves exploring the cupboards and drawers. I think this toy will grow with her and be a great investment for years to come.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
At 16 months, the little miss pretends to wash dishes, wipes down counters. She removes accessories and is learning to place things back where they belong. When asked to cook something, she places the pans on the sizzle burner. Great learning toy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My grandkids love this kitchen and play with it all the time. It was well worth the money. It is well made, durable, easy to keep clean, and it has storage! It inpsires imagination....imagine that!! The kids range from 2-4 years old. Can't find anything negative to say!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The only complaint I have is that the knob for the stove would not stay on and my husband had to super glue it so now it does not move. Everything else is great. They love playing with the phone and pushing the buttons on the appliances.
The kitchen looks fabulous. My kids are not quite 2 yet so they don't know how to use it yet, but I know soon they'll be using their imaginations and having so much fun with it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our 21/2 yr old grand daughter loves this kitchen. She loves to cook for us. Assembly was easy, easy clean up. Great for little one!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I purchased this kitchen for my 2 year old daughter for Christmas and she just loves it! At least once a day she comes to me and declares it's "Kitchen Time" where she cooks me fabulous imaginary meals. It only took about a half an hour to assemble then another 20 minutes or so to get all the stickers on correctly. [...] All in all, it was a great purchase.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My girls (2 and 4) got this for Christmas and they love it! I have been eating plastic food since that day. The assembly wasn't really hard just time consuming. The phone isn't that loud but other than that it's great! I haven't had any problems with it yet and it keeps their attention. It's situated in their room and doesn't take up too much space.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
In a daycare setting.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Took a bit longer than we anticipated to assemble, but was not difficult.
Another great Step2 product!!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this for my 2 yr old son and for playgroup time with hopes to pass down to my younger daughter...when she is ready. My son is the roughest and toughest of boys and this kitchen is holding up well. All the doors are staying on unlike a McDonald's drive thru I got for him last time. It wasn't to bad to put together, by myself with two children (husband in Iraq). I'm glad my husband left a power screwdriver/drill thingy (charged) for me with the same size I needed...you would have trouble without one. Overall...love it!!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Great kitchen. A few screws were missing, so the kitchen was not complete for Christmas Day. Otherwise, my 2 year old loved it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My two grandaughters, ages one and two play together beautifully with this kitchen or alone. It seems the perfect size for them. I purchased some stickers and they personalized the fridge with their favorite characters. I think more dishes in brigter colors and maybe a teapot and cups (all of which I purchased separately)would add a lot to the kitchen. The only item that could be improved is the way the dishes fit on the rack...a little too difficult.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our granddaughter is now the one making breakfast! Her favorite thing is the light above the sink, she turns it on every time she starts to play and shuts it off when the kitchen is closing. The only thing the plates/bowls that came with it really don't fit very well in the plate rack, the edges are too rounded and always fall out.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Absolutely love it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My husband does most of the cooking in our home so we definitely wanted to get our 18 month old son his own kitchen for Christmas so he could play like Daddy. My husband was concerned because none of the reviews mentioned boys playing with this item but we could not be happier with the amount of time our sons spends exploring in his own play space. It is definitely age appropriate for our 18 month old and will allow plenty of options as he grows!
We love this kitchen, the assembly was reasonable and I was especially pleased that you could remove and reposition all of the realistic stickers that came with it. I had been cautioned by friends who had earlier versions of this kitchen about the difficult of the sticker placement and was pleasantly surprised at the improved materials used that allowed for precise placement.
Love it! Our only problem was deciding which model to purchase!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 yr old niece is having much fun with it. Compared to other models on other sites, this one has many more components - pots/pans, food, refrigerator, oven, microwave, phone, plentiful cabinet/storage space, stove top and under-shelf lighting even. Hard to find at this price point![...]. Thank you, Step2! Amazing service. Highly recommend this site and product.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Once we had the kitchen put together it was great. The directions are horrible. My 22 month old boy really does love this kitchen. Good luck with the assembly
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great product, but....
Return options are very poor. We purchased this kitchen from your website as a Christmas present for our daughter. By coincidence, my brother-in-law purchased the same item from your website. When we called to review our return options, we were told that we could return it to your facility in OH but we would have to pay the shipping charges. After calling different carriers as well as USPS, we found that the cost to ship the item is as much as the item itself! Bottom line, I would not recommend purchasing an item from your website. What a shame! I suggest improving your customer service. This is my first and last online purchase with Step 2.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The pots and pans that makes sounds are great, the colors are unisex and bright, and it would work outside in a playhouse or on a porch as well as it does in our playroom. Wish food items were more desirable, but cooking items are fine. Very durable. All 3 grandchildren LOVED it! [...]
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I thought there would be more working parts. The storage for the dishes hardly keeps them im place.
Just thought it would have more bells and whistles.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
none
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The backsplash could have marks on it for lining up the holes easier.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is not the first time I have purchased Step2 products. When looking for a kitchen for my boys (yes, boys like to cook too) I turned to Step2 first. I was pleased when the kitchen arrived. Very sturdy and good quality, as I expected from this brand. Easy to put together. Other Step2 products have lasted through my boys' rough play unlike some other cheap plastic toys. I highly recommend this kitchen, though others looked good too!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
i really like this kitchen, my daughter too, it was definitely worth the money. a little bit hard to put together, but it is so much fun!!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 15 month old got this kitchen for Christmas and he adores it. He loves the accessories and plays daily with his kitchen. His 4 yr old sister and 8 yr old brother even play with it and it's large enough for multiple children to play. Step 2 always has great products.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We looked for a long time and this was the best kitchen... I cannot believe how much you get for the money (considering other kitchens). The sounds and extras make this even better. It is a must buy
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 20 month old loves this kitchen. She received it for Christmas and I can't believe how much she plays with it. We had it assembled and by the tree Christmas morning and could barely pull her away to open other presents. Two weeks later and her enthusiasm for this toy hasn't slowed down! She would rather play with this than her Elmo, tricycle, Baby alive. Winner winner!!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 3 year old daughter loves this kitchen! I would definitely buy it again!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our daughter loves this kitchen! She's only 17 months but she enjoys the pretend cooking, real working accessories and lifelike food. It keeps her busy and her imagination hard at work.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I got this for my twin 21 month old granddaughters for Christmas and they loved it as soon as they saw it. I also got them the step 2 table and chairs in Nov. They cook, set their table and imitate what they see their mom and dad do in the kitchen. There were plenty of accessories and I also got them a set of dishes.
My daughter said it took her 2 hrs. to put together ,but it was not hard.
Drawbacks- The knobs to the stove do not stay on [will have to be glued on]and the pot stopped boiling and making sounds the first day it was used. My daughter is going to contact Step 2 and hopefully get a new part for the boiling pot. The phone and microwave sounds could be a little louder.
Made in the U.S.A sold me right away.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Fantastic buy, great value and it's absolutely what our grandchild wanted.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
She loves her kitchen!! Dad put it together in about 45min with a drill. My daughter will be 3 in Feb. and she enjoys the kitchen more than any of her other toys. Its got all the bells and whistles! Such a delight!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Easy to put together and my daughter (2 1/2) loves it! It matches other step 2 products that we have. Great price online!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Great to take my 4 year old from an infant like kitchen to a more realistic one
Would like more kitchen utensils/food
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My three year old daughter received this from Santa this year for Christmas. She was so excited we literally had to pull her away to open the rest of her gifts. She has played with it quite a bit more than anything else she received. I do have two things I wish were different. First it took my husband quite awhile to put together. He said the instructions were the most vague and confusing instructions he had ever followed. (He is very competent with assembling items, so I don't think it was just him) Second, the door of the oven only lasted a day before it would no longer shut. The overall kitchen compensates for these two concerns though. I would definitely recommend purchasing this item!
This takes quite awhile to set up. Do not wait to the last minute to begin assembling it.
I wish the oven opened sideways or was a bit more sturdy. I caught my daughter using the door to the oven as a "step" to reach into the microwave. I have since spoken to her about not stepping on the door. However, it is now too late as the door will not close anymore.
This is being a bit picky, but I wish the faucet made noise.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I ordered this kitchen as a Christmas present for my 2 1/2 year old daughter, but it ended up thrilling my 9 month old son as well! He loves to stand next to his sister at the kitchen and watch what she is doing or bang around with the utensils. My daughter started cooking us meals Christmas day and loves to make us salads (is she trying to tell me something? :)
My husband was able to assemble this by himself in under 2 hours on Christmas Eve. He did need an electric drill because some of the holes were not drilled out. We do have two problems with the oven - first, the electronic portion will not fit back in and now the screw is stripped from trying to install it, and second, the oven door will NOT stay closed. We have rigged it with some thick velcro tape, however even that is not working great. We plan on contacting Step 2 about this problem.
However, overall a fantastic product and heads above some of the other kitchens we were considering!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I am super happy with this product. The assembly didn't take long and was easy to do. My daughter got this for Christmas and hasn't stopped playing with it yet. It even keeps my 6 year old son busy. It is too precious to see the two of them cooking and cleaning up together.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I have no real complaints other than that when my husband assembled it the screw holes did not match up in many places and he had to drill his own - other than that this is a great product!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This keeps my 2 year old girl busy and that helps me! She's learned how to pretend and loves cooking breakfast for mommy and daddy! The one thing I will say is the door to the oven will not stay closed. Same with the cabinet door. Nothing I am sure my husband can't fix. The design is great. My daughter loves the sounds that the stove makes, like the boiling water, or the sizzling of the frying pan. Its all very realistic. I did a lot of searching online and I found that this one was the best one for the price. I got it on step2.com and it was the cheapest I found after searching several websites. [...] Less priced, [...]...equals a happy customer!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter loves it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 and 4 year old love it. It's not as solid as I expected and the cabinet doors will not close completely. Other than that it's great, very cute!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
great product!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This was a great Xmas gift to our 2yr old daughter from Santa this year. She was definitely excited to receive the gift and has played with it everyday since she got it. She loves the sounds of the stove, oven, microwave, and phone. We had a bit of difficulty assembling the panel that's suppose to go behind the kitchen set. Our set had no screw holes for it so we opted not to place the panel on. Assembly took us about 2-3hrs but that's without power tools. Otherwise, it works great and would buy again.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this kitchen for one of my granddaughters two years ago. It has held up well--everything still works. Her younger brother is also enjoying it now. So I bought another kitchen this year for my other granddaughter in another family. She is only a year old, but loves the sound effects and opening and shutting the doors and pulling out the dishes and pots and pans that came with the kitchen. My son said it was easy to put together. This is a toy that will last for years!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The product is great and my son loves playing with it. He cooks for everyone and wants everyone to play with him. It keeps him busy for hours and as a first time parent I enjoy watching him mix the food up to make different combination of plate.
The top cabinets doors do not stay closed, but its just a minor problem.
I would want all the products that make noise to be louder. My son have a slight hearing loss and can not hear his products unless he place his ear next to it. It becomes very hard for him to hear his microwave and oven. Overall he loves the toy so I am happy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Not difficult to assemble, however the screws for the battery compartments strip out easily. EXTREMELY disappointing. The sounds aren't realistic at all, but my son doesn't care! He loves it!
Would have been nice having all one size of battery. I went out to buy a bunch after looking at one of the devices, to find that it takes different size batts. for different devices.
Place batteries before you assemble! I can't get the overhead light off now to get batts in, because screws are stripped out!
A total pain to replace batteries!
Bottom line... My son loves it!!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The kitchen took a little bit of work and a few hours to put together but it was fairly simple. It is a nice durable set that my 2 kids should get a lot of play time and a few years out of. The oven, microwave, stove and phone are realistic with sounds and make their imaginative play even more fun!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Love it...the microwave and oven has working sound buttons..working light under the sink and a working phone..the stove top makes cooking sounds when the pot is put on it..my daughter 17 months loves playing with it so do her two older brothers 12 years old and 8 years old..It comes with pots, pans, plates, bowls, silverware and food..
The only con was putting it together not that its hard just took about 2-2 1/2 hours to set up and put all the stickers on...other then that I LOVE IT!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
It was just what I expected, I looked at many different kitchens and decided this one was the best bang for the buck. It was received rather well!!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My grand children love this toy kitchen. It has one problem that I think is a danger. The oven door will not stay closed and they keep triping on it. We had to tape it closed to keep them from getting hurt. Other than that they are having a lot of fun.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My niece and nephew love this kitchen. The colors are perfect for a boy and girl. They are always "cooking" for the family.
I would of loved if all the appliances made noises and if there was a coffee maker.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this for my grandchildren to play with at our house. They love it. My grandson and husband put it together in just a few minutes and my grandson was 'serving meals' in no time.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Has the most storage space of any kitchen I looked at.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our son really loves this kitchen. He had become interested in "cooking" in the real kitchen and this realistic toy keeps him busy with appliances that are safe and just his size. The sound effects are great. This model also includes a cordless phone, which he absolutely loves. Also, this kitchen is not too big and fits comfortably into our living space.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is the perfect height for my 17 month old little girl. The babysitter has one and we just had to have one as well. She LOVES it, it keeps her entertained. She has played with it everyday.
I loved the kitchen as well as the pricing, but was VERY disapointed that I could not purchase the dream kitchen table & chairs. I tried the step-2 website to no avail and found a used set on E-bay. I did not purchase the set on E-bay because it was all scuffed up. How can I find the matching table set if you don't sell it? Why do you sell the kitchen but not the matching table and chairs????????????
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a very cute kitchen that wasn't difficult to put together. The sounds on the stove are very fun, but the other electronic devices are pretty cheap. My girls; 4 and 2 have cooked countless meals and love putting the food in and pulling it out of the kitchen. We got it on sale, and at the sale price I felt it was a good deal.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I must admit I was super impressed once I had built the kitchen set and my niece loves it....She plays with it on a daily basis.... The only sugesstion I would have is the assembling of it some of the directions were a bit unclear on the pictures and some of the material did not have the holes where to screw in and I was assembling it Xmas eve so I made the proper adjustments but besides that it's great.... Structure is sooo life like and once build it's durable not flimsy like other kitchen sets I have seen.... I'm very impressed and defintly recomend it....

My grandchildren's eyes lit up when they saw their kitchen on Christmas morning. They love the sizzling burner and the electronic touch pads. My granddaughter loves the phone also. I recommend this to anyone who has kids. Tons of fun. We have purchased a few step 2 products and have been very pleased with the quality and durability. Am planning on purchasing a couple more items in the near furure. Thank you Step 2.

Granddaughter, age 2 1/2 started playing with it immediately.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our 15 month old daughter has had the item for about 2 weeks now and plays with it daily for extended periods of time. She is fascinated with lights and loves the light above the sink, she's too short to turn it on by herself though. Overall the item is very good quality and assembly was easy, took less than an hour. Glad we bought the 125 piece accessory food set to go with it, otherwise kitchen would be a little bare. Holiday promotional price [...] WHAT A DEAL!!! Lots cheaper than local toy store. Very happy with purchase. Would of loved to have the Grande walk-in kitchen but felt the size of it would someday become a hassle. This is nice and compact and fits against a wall very nicely. Plenty of stuff for her to do with all the doors that open and close.Assembly Note: make sure to have a power drill on hand.
To get all the electronics to work we needed a mix of AAA and AA batteries. Why not just make all of them the same?
Utensil drawer should have a pull knob like the cabinet doors. Took a few days for her to learn to pull out from underneath.
Make sure to allow the item and stickers to warm up to room temperature before applying. This shouldn't be a problem if you follow the directions, as it's the last thing you do after assembly.

So far my 2 year old son loves it (as did all of his older cousins on Christmas). It did take some time to put together, but that could just be my husband's skills! We definitely bought a great product and I'm sure the kids will be enjoying it for many years to come.

This is a good toy for boys . They can learn that kitchen chores are fun and for everybody.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This was the play kitchen I had my eye on for quite some time and we got a fantastic holiday price on it. We bought it with our two-year-old daughter in mind but knew both she and our five-year-old son would enjoy playing with it and we were not mistaken.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The product is really great. The accessories are not that great-but that is really minor compared to the whole picture.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Love the design and accessories.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a wonderful play kitchen. Our 18 month old grandson plays for long periods of time with all the parts. He especially likes the timer on the stove and the bell on the microwave, also the telephone. The stove cooking sounds are great fun. Definitely recommended.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We got this Kitchen for our 2 year old daughter. She loves the sounds and lights. There is even a light over the kitchen sink. She says she has a kitchen like mommies. The pot and pans it comes with are strong and very realistic. The stove lights up and has frying and bubbling sounds like you are really cooking.
This kitchen makes for great imaginative play. Even my older kids 9 and 11 play with her. This is a great gift. Love it!

iput this in my kitchen and while i cook dinner, my daughter makes the family dinner, keeps her very occupied i cook.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My kids, 1 1/2 and 4, received this as a gift for Christmas. We had no problems with putting it together. It was actually quite easy. The only problem we had was the keypad for the microwave did not work, but we contacted customer service and they are sending out a new one. As far as the drawers that come all the way out, it is kind of a pain to put them back in all the time. But I think if they were fixed, the drawers would be used for climbing. So I am glad they are not and will happily place them back in. This has been a great toy so far and both of my kids love it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We purchased this kitchen for our 22 month old twin granddaughters. They LOVE it! They giggle with delight when the water "boils" and the bacon "sizzles". I researched kitchens from many companys and am delighted with our choice. Assembly was a breeze UNTIL grandpa came to the touch pads with batteries. That was a little difficult, but well worth the struggle as the girls love the real buttons vs. decals. I might add, the sounds made by punching the buttons is a soft sound....not too loud, not too soft. Fantastic for a household of multiple children. Our son says the girls play with it all the time, so I must say I'd buy it again!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The twins have just begun their exploration so far everything is great. Well made and durable kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this product for my 22-month-old great-granddaughter, and she loves it. She spends a lot of time playing with it, and loves the sounds of the food "cooking". I love watching her as she uses her imagination while she plays with the kitchen. She sits her dolls at a table and chair set she has, and sets the table with the plates, cups and silverware that came with the kitchen. The she puts the food she cooks on the plates, and feeds her dolls. It is so cute to watch.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We had trouble getting of all things the battery operated parts to assemble onto the kitchen. The wholes did not match up for us.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Assembly required a little additional work due to non-precision plastic parts. Sound on keypads could be louder. Oven door could be made to stay closed a little better. Mainly, the drawers should be made to not fall out!! Overall, this is a fine product and was a great Christmas gift
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought two of these for our grandsons: 2yrs old living in a NYC apt, and 3 yrs & 1 yr old living in a small house in TX. It has plenty of features and room enough for two to play, yet doesn't take up a lot of floor space. The colors are gender-neutral & attractive in the home. The drawer for utensils is great for "matching sizes". The kitchen is made tall enough so the boys don't out-grow it (while the littlest guy can still play with the bottom doors!). Like the over-sink light! They use the phone all over the house. Would prefer more cabinet doors instead of the "bins". Would like a coffee pot (although they just pretend the pitcher is one). Having the sink faucet make a clicking or "water" sound would be a nice addition.
Once the batteries were inserted for the microwave and the oven, it was difficult to line up the screw holes on the above items and the main kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 year old daughter loves the kitchen. She cooks with her kitchen while I prepare meals. She enjoys all the cool sounds and all the cabinets and drawers that she can open and close. Assembly wasn't too bad for us because we own an electric screwdriver. I can't imagine someone trying to put this kitchen together without one, as it would be difficult to screw through the thick plastic pieces.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Got this kitchen for our girls for Christmas. It is a really cool kitchen. They love how realistic it is and the parts that really work. It is a nice size, too. However, it is a little time consuming to assemble. This company is fantastic. We had a couple of problems with the oven door and phone, but with one phone call they sent replacement parts. Hopefully they arrive soon.

This is for our grand daughter and she spends hours playing with the kitchen. It stimulates her imagination and makes her feel like an adult.

We bought this for my young grandson. Pretty easy to assemble. It's very durable and easy to clean. It has provided lots of imaginative play. My grandson loves it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2.5 year olds plays with this kitchen everyday. My only complaints are that the oven is small, so you can't fit a small melissa and doug pan in it to "bake cookie". I also hated the coutry apple border and left it off, as it clashed with our modern aesthetic.
Also, the holes need to be made bigger or better so that it can be more easily put together.
make it a more neutral design when considering the border and backsplash. These pieces live in rooms with other furniture.
I wish there were better views of the set, closer, and also the demensions of the product and the little components.

i PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT FOR MY 3 1/2 YEAROLD GRANDAUGHTER. MY HUSBAND SAYS I AM HAVING JUST AS MUCH FUN AS SHE IS. SHE LIVES WITH US AND HAS A WILD IMAGINATION. SHE HAS NOT STOPPED PLAYING WITH THE KITCHEN. I HAVE PURCHASED STEP2 PRODUCTS FOR HER AND MY GRANDSON FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HAPPY.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We gave this to my 3 year old daughter for Christmas. She has played with it for three days straight. It took my husband and I about 30 minutes to assemble to kitchen and it is very sturdy. It is very attractive to look at and fits in well with our decor. We love this kitchen!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Bought this Kitchen for my 4 yr old daughter and 2 yr old son for Christmas and they absolutely LOVE it! I also bought the extra pack of food that you can buy seperately. They have been busy pretending to cook for mommy and daddy. My daughter loves how the stove makes real life sounds, and she loves putting the silverware back in its drawer, and even the light is a big hit! I think this kitchen is a great buy for the money! Have no complaints here!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Santa bought this for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it. Once she saw this christmas morning she didn't want anything else. She plays with this for hours and never gets bored of it, even my 10 year old daughter will play with it with her sister! The only thing is assembley could be alittle easier and better directions! It took awhile for Santa to set this up, longer then we thought but all in all for the price, quality and enjoyment you can't go wrong!! A++++++
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
my daughter loves the kitchen, the only minor complaints are the instructions weren't very clear on how to assemble the product and that the kitchen faucet does not make a water sound.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 20 month daughter got this for Christmas and loves it. She likes pushing the buttons on the microwave. She also loves exploring all the cabinets and the basket. The light above the sink is a great feature. We were worried about the height, but she can reach everything just fine. It seems sturdy, even on carpet. It was easy to assemble. Overall we are very happy with this kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We set up this kitchen next to our grown up kitchen and as we cook dinner our son "helps" to cook using his kitchen. He spends a few hours a day playing and make believing with his new kitchen. It was the best purchase we made for him!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We ordered this kitchen off the website and it came in a matter of days. It was a Christmas Gift for our 29month old son. My husband said that it was easy to but together but did take about a hour. Came with a good amount of plate, bowls etc. The burner makes noise like you are cooking and my son loves the noises on the microwave and on the stove. The fridge door sticks a little but it is a excellent kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Unless you don't own a screwdriver, this thing is a piece of cake to assemble. It will help if you have a power screwdriver, but if not, nothing a little elbow grease can't solve.
I almost bought the bigger kitchen but glad I chose this one. Both of my kids (3 and 2) play with this simultaneously. It's great. The only negative thing I can say is I wish the phone and buttons for the oven/microwave were louder. That's it. Everything else is great.
I also recommend purchasing the pots/pan set and the extra food set.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our nephew just love to play pretend cooking. He likes making cooking with his mother and eating them as well. He is having fun pretending he is the chief cook in his kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Love this kitchen, but the only issue we have with it is that the oven door will not stay closed. Other than that it is really cute and has a ton of fun features!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 21 month old daughter received this for Christmas. She loves to put things in the oven, refrigerator and "wash" dishes in the sink. My husband put this together very easily, much quicker than I imagined.
The shelf above the sink would be better without the slots for the dishes, since there are slots in the cabinets for them. It would be nice to use that shelf for storage of other items.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I was very impressed with the design of the product and it is great for my daughter's imagination as she can pretend to do things as mommy does. However, we have owned it 2 days and the stove door will not stay shut (which drives my daughter insane) and one of the tabs broke on one of the drawers. Overall, we love the kitchen set and Step 2 products!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Took a couple of hours to get it put together, nothing difficult just time consuming. My 2 year old daughter likes it but has not been head over heals (yet). I like how most of its made in USA, makes me feel better about buying it. It's a good size kitchen, not small but not so big that it takes up to much space. Looks durable and step2 has the best price hands down.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
She loved it! First she gasped, then screamed, then ran over and couldn't look at/touch/check out everything fast enough! She opened it Christmas Eve, on Christmas day, she was upset because all her wrapped gifts were blocking the kitchen so she couldn't play with it right away. She said, "Oh no, my kitchens trapped!" then tried to move the gifts to get to it. We had to tell her to find her Olivia doll wrapped in one of the packages to get her to open them, and after every few, she kept trying to go back to the kitchen! She loves the noises and all the cabinets and cooking options (microwave/oven/stove) as well as the fridge. The only thing she wanted it to do that it didn't, was to have running water, but she fixed that by taking a pot and getting water from the water cooler to "wash" her dishes! Thank you! It is the perfect size for her, but I wish the cabinets were a little deeper because we bought her so many accessories that I needed to get a small 3 drawer tower (those plastic ones) that is about 2/3 as tall as the kitchen to store it all. I love Step2!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Santa/Grandma put this together in just about an hour. I did not have any problems putting it all together and everything fit perfect. On Christmas morning, She had a wonderful surprise!! Her very own kitchen. At two years old, she loves everything about it especially the phone..she has called everybody she knows! She has had to show off her new kitchen to everybody who dropped by to see what Santa delivered. She wants to cook for everybody.(yum) What a pleasure to see her happily enjoying her new kitchen! I am sure that she will play with her kitchen for hours/years. A great investment for children to play and learn.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My grandkid love the sounds (phone, skillet, pot, microwave) and the light. My neighbor put this together for me, so it's been just plain fun for us.

I would like a call back/contact back, but do not want my number posted on the site. I did leave in my confrimation information or can be contacted via email. One knob was broken when we opened it last night to assemble and the kitchen door was very scratched. We loved all other features and it was completely assembled in no time. Our daughter will love it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 18 month old granddaughter loves her 'kitchen'. It is durable and adorable, very realistic and the sounds add to the magic. I ordered extra pots and pans but it was not necessary. I told my son to put them away for when the original ones get lost. Altogether, a great purchase.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I would have loved this when I was little. So real.
Add more food.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this for my 2 1/2 yr old son,[...] There is a spot of damage where the electronic burner goes that looks like the plastic hung up on whatever drilled the holes, and the burner won't lay flat, but we barely notice it, and I know my son won't care. Even though Christmas isn't quite here, I already know my son loves it from how many times we've caught him playing with it in the present closet! As it isn't in full play yet, we haven't added batteries yet, so I don't know if all they electronics work properly, but I'm confident everything will be fine. There was a bit more assembly than I had anticipated-much more than the "minimal" the box states, but nothing I couldn't get done in 25 minutes with a screwdriver, drill, and only a 3x5 foot space to work in. The only thing close to a complaint-and a warning to people with other small children in the house-the back is speckled with small round plugs filling holes, that are the perfect size to fit in my 1 yr. old's mouth, so I hope to find something else to seal the holes with
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I expected this item to be slightly bigger, but overall I am happy with it. It was difficult to assemble because there were missing screws. The faces of the drawers broke when they were being assembled.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter loves this kitchen. It's much nicer than the older one she has been playing with. She loves all the sounds this one makes and there's places for everything. The only thing that is extremely annoying is that the oven door doesn't stay closed. No matter how much we close it and push it in, about 2 minutes (or less) later, it falls open..I wish there was some way to keep it closed. I would not recomend it if every one had the same oven issue. If it's just mine then I would recomend it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter really loves this kitchen. She just turned 2 and plays with it every day. Very realistic.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Great for my 16 month old!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I love this product! We have it next to our kitchen so my daughter can pretend to cook and clean as I do the same. In the beginning we had trouble with the battery operated parts (screws were easily stripped) but Step 2 and their awesome customer service sent us replacement parts in less than a week! They are awesome!
Only other problem is: not the best with little kids (under suggested age). My 10 month old son keeps stepping on the oven door and the plastic isn't so durable that it doesn't stretch under weight. I realize this is a parental fault but how do you keep the little ones off?? LOL. Just want other parents to be aware of this.
Overall this is an awesome product and my daughter loves it!

This is the second we've bought. Our first granddaughter used hers till she was 5 years old. We just gave one to our 18 month old granddaughter and she loves it-the lights, bells and whistles. It is so realistic and provides creative, imaginative play. I have nothing negative to say...

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our 21 month old daughter loves playing with her kitchen. She is a little short for her age and has a little trouble reaching what's deep in the top cabinets and she isn't quite able to reach the light switch which frustrates her but she'll grow.
What we like: realistic, descent cabinet space, sounds on the stove, cooking and eating utensils and the overall idea of it
What we would like to change:
the sounds of the microwave aren't realistic, come on couldn't you have recorded a microwave or something, we wish the faucet would make noise because our daughter is into helping w/ dishes and the whole sink atmosphere so everytime she goes to turn it on and nothing happens she wants to go to the real sink, the back part requires 6 holes and there were only 2 drilled so my husband was very disappointed with that, the hamburger slides off which frustrates our daughter and us, the phone is hard for her to put back on, the top pull out drawers come out easily and quickly which has caught her off guard
You might be thinking why did you give it a 4 with all of these complaints, that's because the complaints are minor I just want you to know what's might be coming. All in all it's a great and fun product that I"m sure your children will love. From reading reviews I told my husband it was going to be a long process putting it together so just expect it so that made it easier going in knowing, he is a BIG complainer about putting things together and he really didn't say anything about it other than the holes not being drilled. I did A LOT of research and so far I'm not disappointed.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I ordered this product online and expected a little more but my daughter played for a solid hour when she first got it. My daughter loves to open and close all the doors and drawers and push all the buttons. She plays with it everyday and her favorite features are the light and the stove sounds. It could use more food products but we just put that on her wish list for relatives for chistmas ideas. Holds the attention of our 29 month old who has very little interest in toys.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The sound effects and lights are a great hit. Comes with nice accessories. Keeps the children busy for hours "cooking" and "baking". My daughter wishes HER kitchen was as nice and modern as this one we bought for her little daughter!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Great kitchen. My 3 kids really like to play with it a lot. The only thing I would change is the cupboard, fridge and oven door really need a latch to keep them closed when not in use.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My two year old son loves to cook, so we decided to purchase this kitchen for his birthday. He absolutely loves it. He wants to cook for us all the time -- great imaginative play.
We purchased additional food and accessories to keep him a bit more involved. The only challenges we have with the product -- the cabinet doors do not stay closed, the drawers pull out and fall to the floor, and the electronic telephone sound was really low (cannot hear sounds / no volume control). The kitchen was not difficult to assemble; however, it was a little time consuming.
We looked at many kitchens before buying this kitchen and each had a few things here and there we did not like. This kitchen by far had more to offer than others we considered. Overall, my son loves this kitchen and that is all that matters to us. This is a good kitchen for boys and girls. Excellent for imaginative play!
Electronic telephone -- create a volume control or make the sound louder -- too hard to hear.
Cabinet doors need to close -- add a small clasp to keep closed.
Drawers fall out -- drawers should pull out but not all the way.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My husband and I purchased this kitchen for our daughter after her grandmother purchased a similar one from Step2 and we saw how much our daughter loved it. It is entertaining and helps her to use her imagination. We also got her the food assortment to go with it. AWESOME!!!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter LOVES this kitchen! She got it for her birthday two months ago, and she still plays with it everyday. Assembly was a little complicated, but not horrible. Takes a lot of batteries, but it's worth it - great light and sound effects! Very realistic yet compact.
The final assembly steps (attaching the top cabinets to the base cabinets and adding the backsplash) were fairly complicated. Definitely takes 2 people to complete.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great kitchen for a toddler. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves it. I love the fact that it has multiple storage areas for their little pots/pans and dishes to be stored. Also,there is a flatware drawer. I was surprised to see that. Improvements would include having the sink make noise and by including an additional burner that makes the sizzling sound too. But these are the adult observations, my daughter could care less. My husband thought assembly was easy but warns everyone that some holes may need to be drilled.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Purchased for my 2 year old granddaughter and she loves it! I love it! She plays quietly using her imagination with her dolls. This is much better than TV and computers. Its very sturdy and if you read the directions its not that difficult to assemble.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is just the right size--it fits my 2 year old and my friend's 4 and 6 year olds when they come over to play. The only con is that the oven door does not stay closed--I have to hold it closed with duct tape.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Grandsons love imaginative play and making pretend meals for Grandma is a favorite when they come to visit. They also love the realistic buttons on the microwave and oven, but especially the sounds on the stovetop for boiling water and sizzling. The phone is a nice addition but they are too used to real phones to pretend much with it. Oh, and there's a fair amount of storage too.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this for our granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She is in love with it. The telephone, the pan that sizzles, the pot that boils. How great. She pretend cooks for everyone.

But overall this makes a great play center and even my older son (6) plays with it too.

One negative is that the drawers come out completely - so my daughter pulls the drawer to take something out and it falls out. It would be nice if there were stoppers. Other than that - this is great fun. It is in my kitchen and my daughter loves to play there. Also, it looks nice - not like a little kiddy toy, but like an upscale nice kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this for our two kids (3 and 1). They love playing kitchen together. The realistic sounds and accessories are a real plus. Took my husband and I about an hour to put together (one person could easily assemble alone). Fun design and lots of cabinets for good imaginative play.

After much research, purchased this kitchen for my daughter's second birthday. Wasn't sure if she'd like or not and was afraid to buy something so big to just have it sit there. We didn't need to worry about that though - she loves it! When her dad brought it out from the garage assembled, she turned around, saw it and screamed with delight and ran towards the kitchen and started playing immediately. She hasn't stopped since. Every morning when she wakes up she goes straight to her kitchen. It's a great size (not too big) but has everything that you would need. Bought an extra set of food, and a couple of other little sets to go with it. Also looks nice in her room. Great purchase!

Two-year old daughter loves the kitchen. She plays with it all the time. Her face lit up when she saw it. The accessories are nice too. Assembly wasn't the easiest/fastest but it wasn't complicated. Overall a great buy!

We received this product for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she absolutely adores it. There are many drawers for her to open and close and the many sounds the kitchen makes keeps her highly entertained. She'll be able to enjoy it for years to come!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Got this for her first birthday. Although says its for 2 and up, she always opened my cabinets and took my pots to play with. now she can do it with her own. she loves it. she loves the phone and pushes all the buttons. and she'll love it more and more as it grows with her. doesnt come with that many accessories so we'll need to add some.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My granddaughter is having so much fun with her kitchen and all of the accessories that come with it. This kitchen is a winner!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My kiddos loved this kitchen. I personally would have liked if it would be a little more ready for play. Not even the stickers were on the kitchen pieces. Also, I would have liked for 2step to have sent the maroon kitchen that I ordered not the green. Although all these things didnt really matter to my daughter. She absolutely loved it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Like the size of it. Not too big that it takes up a lot of space in our playroom.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My twin boys love this kitchen! They run to it each morning. It's a perfect size. We need to buy some more play accessories but overall it is great.
One flaw - one of the cabinet doors does not close properly so it remains semi-open.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I did a lot of research for kitchens and I am glad we ended up with this one. My daughter is 2 and loves it. She has played with it everyday. I wasn't sure I like the decor on line but it looks a lot better then I thought. It look my husband and me an hour to put it together with no problems. I am very happy with the kitchen.

We purchased the kitchen for our daughter's 2nd brithday. She absolutely loves it...we all do. As a family we spend lots of time cooking and dining on Braxtyn's masterpieces! :)
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter LOVES this kitchen. She plays with it for hours everyday. The only improvement would be to add sound to the water and ice maker, but it is still great without it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2-year old daughter loved this at first sight & she keeps discovering new ways to play with it. It's definitely going to be a favorite as she grows, too. The product arrived with a faulty accessory (phone), but Step2 shipped a replacement promptly at no charge.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 year old grandaughter goes straight to it when she comes home from daycare. It keeps her happy, improves her social skills and my daughter is delighted.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought the lifestyle dream kitchen for our daughter's 2nd birthday. price wise, it is very reasonable and value for money. assemble took a little while but we managed well with relatively good instructions given. the kitchen is very realistic and captures the imagination of my child. she was so excited when she first saw it and we would spent at least an hour each day on it. it provides me with quality time with my child and makes a great toy during playdates. all the kids who came to our place love it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great kitchen, My daughter who is 17 mos. old loves it a lot. She likes the sink light and cooking sound that goes with. Very realistic and very nice. Easy to assemble.

Great kichen. It was for my 2 year old son and he's really enjoying it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2-year old daughter loves her kitchen! She plays with it everyday. We love how modern it is in that there is a phone in the kitchen, how the appliances make sounds, and the refridgerator is set up to look like water is dispensed in the door. She has learned to "pretend" to eat and cook, and she makes noises on her own (ex. shhhhhhh...is the water coming out of the faucet.) She also shares the food she makes with others which is a great quality at this age. We love it!

Great imaginative play for both boys & girls
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We thought the oven door was defective as it wouldn't stay shut throughout the assembly process. But once the final screw was driven, everything was plumb then and the door stayed closed. You might include a warning about that.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We purchased this for my daughter for her 2nd birthday. My husband put this together in about 20 minutes. It is very sturdy, and looks very life like. My daughter plays with her kitchen everyday. It has become her favorite toy. She loves the pots and how the stove makes cooking sounds. I love the storage capacity. We can fit all of her food and dishes in all of the cupboards and drawers.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Bought this for 15 month old daughter and she loves it! She is a little short still so can't quite reach the microwave, but doesn't seem to bother her. She pretends to cook and loves all of the beeping noises. The stove top is fun when you put the pots on and it sizzles or boils. Great product for price. Only negative is the oven door doesn't seem to want to stay shut. Otherwise great product, highly recommend it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Since I was recently unemployed I was worried my 22 month old would be bored; I felt I was competing with the daycare activities she was used to. I've always wanted a kitchenette as a child so I thought this would be a good investment. I received it in a timely manner and in good condition.
My daughter is happy with it. I would have given it a higher grade if the ice maker made lifelike noises too.
As she matures she will appreciate this kitchenette even more. Most interest in toys last about a few months, I believe the dream kitchenette will keep her interest for a few years.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I was worried that my 22 month old daughter would be bored since I had to take her out of daycare because of my unemployment. I always wanted a kitchenette as a child so I thought this would be a good toy to play by herself or have playdates...plus as she grows and matchures she will enjoy it even more.
I would have given it a higher grade if the icemaker made noise too!
I compared this to the little tykes kitchenette and this was the best deal.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We got this for my 2yr old's birthday. Probably should have purchased sooner because she loves it. Her brother is 6. He plays with it too, when she is playing with it. It's just the right size for both of them to play and not step on each other. We have it in the living room. Unless they are playing with it you don't even notice it. Part of the reason is the neutral colors. [...]. When our kitchen arrived the counter top was scratched and faded (like it was used?)and our stickers were bent. BUT I called and Step 2 sent out new items that day. So other than having to put it together for the party and then take apart and reassemble when the new countertop came, it turned out fine. The new countertop is perfect.As for assembly. The drill is not a "required" tool. But I can't imagine putting this together with out one. The smaller pieces already have holes and I did those with a screwdriver. But once you get to attaching the counter and overhead piece you will need the drill. The instructions are pretty straight foward. With lots of interuptions it took me about 2 hours. If I could have been alone in the house maybe it would have only taken an hour or so. Very easy and definitly worth it.An additional set of dishes and food will be in the future but not a must for the kids to enjoy the kitchen. It's called imagination!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 gransons really enjoy working in the kitchen and answering the telephone while playing with the kitchen set.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Great kitchen! Had some trouble getting the stove assembly apart to attach it. Assembly is much easier if there is someone else there to help! But the kids love it and fight over the cups and pots and pans. Nothing but culinary joy!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 year old boy LOVES this. Only bad thing is the oven door doesn't stay shut. We used a swiss army knife to make an indent to keep it shut. The back panel screw holes didn't line up either but that we resolved by checking before hand.
Has lots of things to open and close and things can't fall into little corners that you can't get out of. My 5 year old enjoys it too.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this for our 15 month old son because he is obsessed with opening and closing cabinets. He absolutely loves it. He sits in front of it and just opens and closes everything on it over and over again. He loves the sounds made by pushing all the buttons. (And there are lots of different sounds, not just a few like on most toys.) It's also a great way to teach kids to stand, because he pulls himself up to reach the higher cabinets and features. Now he's learning to put things in and take things out. It's just a wonderful toy and well worth the money if you want something to really stimulate and occupy your child for more than 5 minutes.

Our 16-month-old LOVES this kitchen! She moves from one end to the other moving things from one cabinet or drawer to the next. She loves the light above the sink and the sounds the phone & microwave make when she pushes the buttons. We took the pretend plastic silverware away for now, but the rest of the dishes and foods it came with are fine for her to play with. Very easy to assemble and well worth the $$!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this kitchen as an Easter gift for our grandson. He really enjoys playing with it. All the interactivities ("cooking," sorting, stacking, storing) and realistic sounds hold his interest. Love the light over the sink!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My granddaughter loved it. I heard that it was hard to put together but my son had it together and the stickers on with help from his fiancee within an hour and a half. I wish I had ordered more food. I ordered additional pots and pans and serving assemblies.

It looks like she will be able to use it for many years, in many ways. She is only 2, but already is talking on it's phone and putting pots on the stove.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter really loves this kitchen. She is always cooking something up for me or her daddy. She loves pushing all of the buttons to hear all of the sounds, and she likes to open and close the cabinets. I think she will get years of use out of this kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is absolutely adorable. This was a birthday gift for my daughter. Her face lit up when she saw it. She was so excited. It is just perfect for her. It is very durable and easy to clean. It has even more realistic working things on it than what's in the description. There are so many other reviews about how difficult the assembly was and how the instructions were hard to follow. The instructions were very easy to follow and I actually enjoyed putting it together, maybe it's just me. There could have been a little more food that comes with it, but I plan on purchasing more for it. It's a perfect size even for my daughter whose 4 now. I am now considering purchasing the table and chairs that match to make her kitchen complete. I am very impressed. This is a Great Buy!! Highly Recommended!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We had bought a different brand and then returned it because it was poor quality. Then I really did my research, and this one seemed like it had the most features for its price range and was the best value. We couldn't be happier with it![...]was very easy to put together. My 2 year old loves it and plays with it everyday. I love it as a way to keep her out of my kitchen while I cook dinner, she will happily "cook" in her kitchen instead of clinging to my legs. I would recommend this product to anyone!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this for our 2 year old granddaughter and she loves it. She especially likes the frying pan that sizzles, the pot that sounds like boiling water and the light that she is able to turn on and off. She also likes the realistic number pads for the oven and micro. This kitchen comes with all the extras (food, dishes, silverware, mixing bowl, etc) and has plenty of storage space.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My grandsons love this kitchen ! They are 2 1/2 & 1 yr. and both play with it. Grandpa put it together in 2 hours. As always, the instructions could have been better. Use the picture on the box as well as diagrams. My older grandson loves the microwave sounds and the stove top flashing lights. The little one likes moving the drawers and opening doors. The size is good, not too big and not too small for the space available. We had purchased a Step2 sandbox last year and based our decision on the good quality of it. It would have been nice to include a few more play foods and not have to purchase a separate set for additional cost. Good quality, good product, good fun for kids.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter just turned 2, my son will be 5 next week. They both love the kitchen. My 2 yr old loves to PUT things, and there are lots of places to PUT in this kitchen. Someone else's review advised using a power drill to assemble, and that was really GREAT advice. My husband did the drill work while i did the stickers and put batteries in the various compartments. Working together, we had it together in 35 minutes. At first i thought all those batteries in separate compartments was a little over the top. However, with each appliance having its own 2-3 battery compartment, you'll actually replace the batteries LESS. The light above the sink is a real favorite.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I absolutely love this kitchen for my 20 month old son. I set it up in his bedroom and he plays with it many times throughout the day. He mimics what he sees us doing in our kitchen. He loves the buttons on the microwave, oven and phone, and the 2 noises that stovetop makes depending on the pot that is placed upon it. He also likes to turn the light on and off. He loves opening the refrigerator and pretending to get water from the water dispenser on the refrigerator door. I purchased MELISSA & DOUG play food items to go with this as the food items that came with the kitchen are made in china and are made of flimsy plastic. I researched a lot of kitchens before buying this one and am thrilled with my purchase. It took me about an hour and a half to put it together with an electric screwdriver. The instructions were very clear. There were pictures of the screws so that it was easy to tell which ones went in which places. It is very sturdy. Don't forget to buy batteries when you purchase this as batteries are not included. Also, to install the batteries, you need the very small "+" screwdriver. GREAT KITCHEN!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this for our younger son for his birthday. I have researched kitchens quite a bit, and this seemed to have the best customer ratings. I would agree, we have had it for a few weeks and love it. It was VERY easy to assemble. I read horror stories about assembly times on the LT products. This is our first Step 2 product and we are so far impressed. Yes, a few of the drawers and such are not the best quality - but for the price and what's included it's as good as everything else out there (or better!). My boys LOVE the pot that boils, and all the noises it makes. That's what sold it for me and I'm glad we bought it for that reason. Step 2 had the best pricing [...]

My 2 1/2 year old twins love this product! It is much nicer than any other kitchen out there. Blends nicely in the living room - no outlandish colors to deal with. Sounds are nice and quiet.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I researched alot of kitchens before deciding to purchase this one. I chose this one because I felt it had alot of features and was a good size for the price. My 2 yr old and my 9 mos old both love this kitchen. It is the perfect height for them both. My 9 mos old loves to cruise from one end to the other and explore what is in the drawers. My 2 yr old loves to pretend to cook. She gets a kick out of all the fun noises and buttons to push. She also loves to pretend to wash her hands which reinforces good hygene, a plus for any parent!! I do wish the sink made some noises. Contrary to what a lot of other reviews said, My husband and I found the assembly to be quite easy. The directions were very clear. It took about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish, but there was no stress in the process. The only negative is that the oven door is a little hard to close so I do have to help them snap it into place. Other than that, I am very pleased with this product.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is just what my girls wanted. They enjoy playing with it. The only thing I wish is that it made more sounds. It only has a few and my 3 year old always wants the sink to make noise. Other than that we really like it.

I found this Kitchen in a xmas Catalog, and I wanted it for my daughter's 2nd bday...but they had sold out of them and then came across the step 2 website....lovd it from the min. I saw it, it was the perfect price and the perfect size for our family rm. my father in law bought this for our daughter's bday and she love's it, and play's with ot everyday!! I think the amount of accesory's that it came with was OK, there could have been alittle bit more food, but we ordered more play food anyway, so it's really not a big deal, the quality is great and is also very sturdy
Thank you step 2

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My husband and I bought this for our 3 year old grandson. It was not hard to put together.
The design is very attractive. As soon as we got it assembled, our grandson started "working the buttons" to the microwave and oven. He loves the sizzling and bubbling sounds of the stove. We "ate" pizza and corn all evening! Great for pretend play, group play and learning to organize.
Be sure to give your child a dish rag for "washing the dishes". So glad to find a product that is durable and will be used for years to come.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I read a lot of reviews on this kitchen before I purchased it. I needed something a two year old boy and a four year old girl could play with. It really fills the bill! There are quite a few accessories, could be more, but the kids go to my kitchen and grab some 'extras'. lol! It's strong enough for the two year old to climb on and stand up, yet pretty enough for the four year old to be entertained. I put this together with a regular screwdriver. An electric would be nicer. I did it by myself, but it would be better to have another person. Didn't take long, but take the advice of one review and put the stickers on before you put it all together. That is much easier. I could rattle on and on about this kitchen. There are better ones on the market, but not at this price! [...]This little kitchen is a real bargain for the price.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this kitchen for our 2 year old daughter and she loves it. It is perfectly sized where it doesn't take up too much room but is still big enough for her to enjoy. The assembly did take a while but the instructions were very easy to follow.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I absolutely love this kitchen! I keep it in my kitchen so my daughter can pretend to cook or clean whenever I do. This is one toy that holds her attention for any amount of time, and she keeps going back to it throughout the day. There is great storage space for food, dishes, etc. It actually came with too many pots and pans-they only needed to include the ones that let you hear the sounds. It's very durable- my daughter (& son) can be very destructive and they haven't torn it apart-my daughter tried to climb on it! The price was just right as well. I wouldn't go for the pricier kitchens, because this one is just perfect in size, design and functionability. The only slight downfall is it took us 2 hrs to put the whole thing together start to finish, but it's worth it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My son loves to spend time playing in his kitchen every day! We have it set up in our dining room so he can play in his kitchen when mom or dad is in the big kitchen. Having this play kitchen has really helped him stay out of our kitchen cupboards and drawers, since he is rather clever, he can get around some of the child proofing. I would definitely buy this again!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My son plays in his kitchen and cooks meals for us all the time. He loves the realistic burners that make sounds and light up. He even pretends to set the timer on the microwave to let us know when it is time for him to go to bed. We would definitely recommend purchasing the additional 101-piece food set for more play options. This is a great product, and we are completely satisfied.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great product. We had originally bought a Little Tykes kitchen because it was a little cheaper and we could buy it at the store instead of waiting for delivery. After partially assembling that kitchen we decided to return it because it the pieces didn't seem to fit together properly. The fridge and cabinet doors didn't easily open and close, which just won't due with small children. We ordered this kitchen and couldn't be happier. We were missing a the door to the oven. When we called Step 2, they sent one to us and we received it within a few days. This size kitchen has everything we hoped for. We are glad that we didn't get the larger one. Several children can play at once and it isn't too obtrusive in our living room.
Great product for pretend play!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My son is only 16 months old but LOVES his new kitchen! Don't let the directions that say drill optional fool you though. There is NO WAY I could have done this with strength and a screwdriver. Aside from that, it's perfect! We look forward to playing with it for many years to come.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I purchased this product for my daycare which I always look for quality and durability since at least six children are going to be playing with it each day. The kids and I love the sounds it makes, that several can play at the same time, there are places for the dishes and pans,the light turns on over the sink, baskets and drawers can be removed (dump and fill). This product was just the right height for 14 months to 4yr old children in my group.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I HAVE A 5 YR OLD & A 2 YR OLD WHO LOVE THE KITCHEN. I LOVE ALL THE SOUNDS THAT IT MAKES FOR THE PHONE, RADIO, MICROWAVE, AND THE BURNER. HOWEVER, I PUT IT TOGETHER MYSELF WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS AT WORK. IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR BUT DON'T LISTEN TO THE INSRUCTIONS WHEN IT SAYS THAT A POWER DRILL IS OPTIONAL. IT IS A MUST!!! I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN IT TOGETHER WITH A SCREWDRIVER. BUT OVERALL I LOVE IT AND WOULD DEFINATELY BUY IT AGAIN.

This little kitchen has captured the whole family. My 22 month old daughter absolutely loves playing with the kitchen all day every day! The kitchen has so much to do that it easily keeps her entertained by herself for quite awhile. Love the design and it looks so nice in our house. The only thing I would change would be the boarder design... it's peaches... not my favorite! I would also like to have seen some more play food included. Included: a slice of pizza, a hamburger to make and a couple of fruits. Although there are lots of dishes and pots and pans! This is the best buy! I've done lots of research and am very happy with my purchase.

My 3 year old grandaughter loved this kitchen which she received at her birthday party. All the guests were busy opening drawers, ringing buzzers and arranging the pots & pans. Lots of things for busy hands to touch and handle. It took a little time to assemble however the directions are very clear and easy to follow. The little pots and pans bubble and sizzle! So cute.

It was easy to set up as it came mostly assembled. Without looking at the directions we got it together in less than half an hour, stickers included. It does take 12 batteries, which we didn't have on hand.
Love that it comes with a lot of accessories. The boys love the light in their kitchen and love to use the sizzling pans and the realistic phone.
After reading reviews of OTHER kitchens from FP and misc. vendors, I was afraid that my boys would be too big for this kitchen. My VERY TALL two year old fits at it perfectly, and my gigantic five year old loves it and has a great time at the counter.

We gave this to our daughter for her 2nd birthday and she was so happy after she opened. She's imaginative and uses the phone a lot. She had a mini kitchen where the faucet works so she kind of miss that but overall she loves her kitchen.

purchased the kitchen few days before my departure and carried two oversized repacked boxes to the other side of the globe. my grandchildren 2 1/2 yrs boy and 5 1/2 yrs girl prepared three meals a day for me with a smile and did the dishes too.

We bought this for our daughter's 2 year old birthday. She loves it! It took my husband under an hour to put together-although he loves his power drill-it seemed rather easy. My parents who live several hours away own the larger version, so I knew the quality would be great. My 2 year old is tall for her age but the height is perfect and even our 6 year old daughter enjoys playing with her. We wish the sink made noise, but other than that, all the noises make the playing pretend really fun. Just be careful if its a surprise, because the box they ship the product in has a picture of the kitchen on the box!! Its worth the price-great quality-hours of entertainment-small enough to put away into a walk in closet.

We bought this for our 15 month old grandson for Christmas. He loves the buttons and sounds, and is slowly learning the workings of a kitchen. He runs right to the kitchen when he visits. Soon it will be at our daughter's home so that he can play more often.

I recently purchased this product for my sunday school classroom. It was very important to find a product that was durable as well as fun and attractive for the kids. After reading several reviews, this product received almost 5 stars from everyone. Beware of other kitchens. I read several reviews of wood kitchens that fell apart as soon as the kids started playing with them. I thouroughly felt that it was worth a little extra money to purchase a product that I knew would last.
So far the kids are loving the kitchen. I love the real features like the boiling pot and sizzling skillet. I also assigned one girl to make sure that the light above the sink always gets turned off (to conserve batteries), and she is doing a great job. I also really appreciated the fact that I could order this product directly from Step 2. I was able to save over $73 dollars buying it from Step 2 rather than ordering it from another retailer.
I am expecting lots of fun in my sunday school classroom with this product

Purchased for my 2 year old granddaughter. I was taken back by the detail. It was love at first sight. She plays with it everyday.The delivery was very fast. Assembly was not difficult.I would recommend this kitchen model. I truly feel that my grand-daughter will have many years of enjoyment.

It was easy to assemble. Sturdy for the money. Overall size is good if you are limited to space. Pleny of pots and pans included. Nice set for the money

Contrary to few comments, we did not find it difficult to assemble....Our daughter loves it... a bit more/additional food items would have been helpful. Also racks in the oven and refrigerator would have made them a bit more realistic.

This was a chrsitmas gift for our 2 year old daughter and she loves it. Plays with it every day for at least an hour or two. Easy to put together. We ended up using a drill for putting it together because some of holes didnt match up.

My 19mth daughter loves this kitchen! Watching her play and act like she is cooking is the best. Cleaning up the mess after she's playing with it isnt but its worth it after seeing how happy she gets. I thought it was alot of money but they all are and of course it went on sale after i ordered it. But watching her play and have a good time with it is priceless.

We bought the dream kitchen for my 1 yr old's first birthday. She loves opening and closing anything and everything...pots, pitchers, stove, oven, fridge, etc...however, my 3 yr old son also loves playing with it just as much. However, his is more the imaginary play--cooking dinner, frying the hamburger on the stove, using the phone. It is great for all ages.
