Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Great product! My 2 year-old daughter loves playing with it!!
Works well at keeping kids busy when her friends are over too!
My only complain would be the screws at the back scratches the wall. I simply covered them with anti-scratch pad stickers(the one you use to protect hardwood floor from getting scratched by the dining chairs) and it's fixed!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter loves playing with her kitchen and the realistic noises it makes. She spends hours playing with it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
It is adorable but the door to the oven would not close. My husband felt the whole kitchen looked cheap and was poorly made. The service department was great at Step 2. We own alot of products from Step2 and felt disappointed with the quality of the kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I have a 17 month old girl & a 5 year old boy & they play all the time with it, together.
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:
We got it for my neice's 3rd bday. She unwrapped it and started playing with it immediately. Love the sounds it makes. Provides hours of fun for her.
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.
I am planning on purchasing other Step2 products.
This has been a very worth while gift

We're having a lot of fun with it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this kitchen over two years ago. The kids play with it
every day and love it. There have been no issues with quality. We
did buy the extra food which was necessary.

My 3 yr old loves it!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is the best kitchen! It is the perfect size with all the features so it isn't too big or too small. I ave had it almost a year and everything is working great on it. My kids love to pretend they are cooking, and the sound effects really make it seem real. My kids especially love the little over the sink working light! I don't even have one of those in my kitchen!!! It is a great product with lots of littel storage spaces in it! Thanks step2!

my 2 year old son loves it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We got this for our daughter for her 2nd birthday. She loves playing with all the dishes and acting like she can wash her hands. The play phone is great and she really enjoys this kitchen play center. I didn't like that it required different size batteries for the sound makers and the light above the sink never did work. But overall this makes a great play center and even my older son (6) plays with it too.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 yr old granddaughter plays with it every day. Her older brother (7) and cousin (4 yr old boy) also enjoy playing with her.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
It was an immediate hit.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This product is great. Easy enough to assemble and has all your major appliances with sounds. 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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Love this kitchen our daughter now almost 2 has been playing with this kitchen since she received it Dec. 2008. She loves it and I can see her imagination and pretend play skills growing every day.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream 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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 15 month old daughter LOVES it!! It is very sturdy and very attactive. I'm very impressed with all my Step2 products!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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:
We gave this kitchen to our child as a birthday gift and he loves it! We found it to be very sturdy and is so much fun for role play. Also the electronic buttons are fun and the phone was a big hit too.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a very well thought out kitchen. My 20 month old granddaughter loves it. She really loves the kitchen light and the cooking sounds. Wish it came with more food as the few items are really not enough.

Great toy purchased for my two year old boy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
great product. my daughter plays with it now and probably will play with it when she gets older too. well made.
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:
We gave this kitchen to my 2 year old daughter for her birthday. She loves it and plays with it for hours. It is very durable. We all enjoy this product a lot!
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 [...]

Not only is this product great, with its generous accessories and room for more than one child to play at a time, [...]

Very close to a real kitchen
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our 4 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl rec'd this for Christmas two years ago and still really enjoy playing with it. It's held up great and I expect to be able to hand it down to future cousins when our kids outgrow it. We did buy the extra food set and some additional dishes.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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:
Our 17 month old granddaughter loves it! It was a gift and you shipped it for us [...] because she lives in another state. It was awesome when our son-inlaw posted the video of her on his facebook page for us to watch her play. This is a great gift that will last her for years. Thank you! I know we will shop your website again.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter loves this kitchen. I also thought the customer service was wonderful. A part arrived defective and Step 2 sent us a new one in a matter of days!
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.

Baby loves it and it has so many great uses
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!

bought for my 18 month old boy - he loves it and figured out how to find all buttons that worked. his 7 and 9 year old sister and brother love to play with him. should last us a few years - well worth the price!
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.

I love this kitchen. When it arrived, one of the knobs was broken, but I couldn't see returning it for one broken knob. My husband tried to glue it but it keeps coming off. Other than that, I feel it was a great buy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Had to buy more accessories, but other than that my son loves it and can't wait to show it off to others. The stove sounds are great, wish they had two activated burners. Could use sound for the sink and ice machine in refrigerator. Overall we are extremely happy with this product.

We bought this for my daughters 2nd birthday. She loves it. It was easy to put together, and so far very durable. The only drawback is I wish the faucet made noise. This would make it perfect. I would highly recommend this kitchen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My son absolutely loves this kitchen! When I'm cooking he usually clings to my legs and cries for my attention - but now that he has his own kitchen, I can ask him to make me something and he goes to his kitchen and plays away! It's great! My friends also bring their kids over to play with our "deluxe" kitchen - we love it!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Gave it to my granddaughter on her second birthday and all the children at the party gravitated toward it and played for hours! They especially love the "boiling" pot and the "sizzling" fry pan!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.

My girls really love this kitchen. It was well worth the money. They are 5 and 3 and play for hours pretending they have a restaurant.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter absolutely LOVES this!!! We bought it for her 2nd birthday, and put it in our own kitchen. Now she stays out of my hair when I'm cooking, because she goes and cooks alongside me!What a great piece to enhance a great imagination!

My twin 1-yr old granddaughters love the kitchen set. They played with it for an hour and a half the first day.

This was a gift for my 1 year old granddaughter, but my 3 year old grandson enjoys it too (when his sister allows him to play with it!)
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I have an In Home Daycare and the kids of any age enjoy this.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Wonderful product, great price. Have fun with yours, we're loving it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.

I bought this for my granddaughter but my 3 year old grandson just loves it to. They both like to cook and serve the food. Very nice product.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream 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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Lots of fun for the entire family.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
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.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I just bought this kitchen for my three year old daughter. She was so excited when we got the box. She just could not wait until I finished to assmble the kitchen. She has been playing with it everyday. It is also great to play with friends. I would definitly recommend it. The sounds are great, the design is wonderful. I wish it would come with more accessories such has food. it took me more than an hour to assemble it but it was not difficult. It is important that you follow the manual one step at a time and in order. Usually I never follow manuals to assemble things but for this one I did. Buy it, you not regret it :)
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this for our daughter for her 4th birthday. She had a smaller kitchen previously but wanted something bigger. We were surprised at how easy the assembly was compared to the smaller kitchen. She loves this kitchen, she spends alot of time in there cooking, cleaning and preparing to serve food. We are very satisfied with this product.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
After looking at many other kitchens I finally decided on this one and I am very pleased with it. I purchased it for my son [2 1/2] because he often wants to cook with me. Now having his own kitchen with realistic sounds and features, he can 'cook' whenever he wants! I think the stove burner sound effects (sizzle & boiling)are a great added feature! One small down side is that the phone rings very low and is difficult to hang up. However, after a few attempts, my son has figured it out. Also, the plates do not stay in the plate holder and fall out each time the unit is bumped. Even though it is a bit pricy, I am very pleased with this purchase, especially since going directly through Step2, who offered it at a lower price than any of the retailers I researched.

We gave our grandson The Diner for Christmas and he enjoyed it so much that I knew we needed a similar toy for our house.He is almost two and he has a baby sister that will be able to play too.Even his nine year old sister plays with both kitchens for hours.

My daughter loves playing cook with this. She makes us a meal everyday.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My son loves this kitchen! It was his 2nd birthday present and he hasn't stopped playing with it yet. He loves the "boiling" and "sizzle" of the burner the best. I can tell he wishes the ice maker would make noise though. Overall a great and affordable product.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 18-month-old loves this kitchen. She plays with it everyday. I like that the sound effects are not extremely loud and obnoxious. I had read other reviews and was not looking forward to putting it together. I put it together while my husband was at work. It took me 2 1/2 hours and an electric screwdriver is an absolute must have. It wasn't difficult to follow the directions on how to put it together, nor was it difficult to assemble, just time-consuming. I did it while my daughter was napping. Another tip is make sure to put the decals on BEFORE you start assembling. It made it easier. Great toy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I purchased this kitchen for my 16-month-old daughter after reviewing all available play kitchens online and reading multiple reviews. Although my daughter is still a bit young to use all features of this kitchen she already loves it and plays with it every day. She is already pretending that she cooks and serves food to my husband and I as well as her dolls and stuffed animals. The realistic noise features are great (my daughter loves the phone) and she loves opening and closing all the cabinets and drawers. I know she will continue to grow with this kitchen and that it will provide hours of entertainment for her for years to come. The kitchen has enhanced her understanding of "pretend play" activities and it has also contributed to her fine motor skills. I would definitely recommend this product. The only reason I did not give it a full five stars is because it did not come with many "food items", but it is a wonderful gift.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great product. I love the durability and realism. Just wish it came with a few more food items.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and it actually arrived the day of - we of course had to take it out of the box after she saw it. As soon as the box was open she was playing with it pretending to cook and all! It is very durable and sturdy, pretty good size with nice features. I was concerned it wouldn't have enough storage space but was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I read all the other owner reviews of the many kitchens available in the marketplace. I was glad I did, I never thought that cabinet space in a play kitchen would matter...it does. This model received the best ratings and wasn't too big as to overwhelm our family room. My 2.5 yr old daughter loves it. Only issue was Santa didn't put it together until Xmas Eve and the electronics pack was not in the box. One phone call and few days later, the microwave, stove burner and oven noise makers arrived. Very pleased with the service.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I searched online and in stores trying to find a product that would work for my 6 and 5 year old grandchildren - this does! I figure that even as they get taller, their father can build a box to place this on so it "grows" with them! They really have fun making sandwiches and cooking for us. The phone makes this real for the grandkids and the light over the sink is an added perk.

Thanks step2 for making another great imaginative toy!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My mother bought this kitchen for my 18 month old for Christmas after we spent alot of time comparing kitchens. I could not be happier with our choice. The kitchen is a great size for my daughter now and I know it will continue to grow with her for a long time. I love the sounds and accesories. My daughter loves to "cook" her snacks in the pot and pan, she gets such a kick out of the noises they make. I did buy more food and dishes so my daughter could make "meals" for people to eat. I am expecting a little boy in a couple months and I am sure when he gets older he will play with this as well. We are all very happy with this kitchen and would recommend it to anyone.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We have placed it in a small "playhouse" under the stairs. It is just the right size for this limited area. Keeps the younger grandchildren busy and entertained and they love to visit!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I was so excited to find this kitchen on the Step2 website at such a great price. I ordered it [...] However, the stickers, instruction manual, and stove knob were missing. We had to give it to my daughter on her birthday unfinished. My husband contacted Step 2, and they mailed us the missing pieces within a week or so. Apart from this, we're very happy with our purchase.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Mother of two young girls ages 3 and 5. They both like playing with the kitchen, both together and seperately. Even older children (boys and girls, ages 6 and 7) that come over to play enjoy it. The only con that we can find with it besides a very time consuming assembly is that some of the parts come off easily. But, they are also easily put back on. And, I think it would capture the kids attention for longer periods of time it if had more realistic interactive play, i.e. more working parts/lights and sounds. Overall, a good product that I would recommend.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 20 month old daughter loves this kitchen. Now when I am cooking she is no longer under foot, she is cooking in her kitchen. This kitchen is very realistic looking and fits nicely in our living room, just off the dining room/kitchen. It was easy to assemble, seems very sturdy and easy to clean. She hasn't played much with the microwave and oven electronics yet, but loves the phone and the boiling noises on the stove. She could "cook" for hours just to hear the boiling noises. [...]
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this kitchen for my 18 month old for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. My 6 year old also plays with it all the time. The kitchen was easy to put together; I even did it by myself with a hand held screw driver because my electric one broke. From start to finish, it took me about an hour. My youngest child climbs on it (yes I mounted it to the wall), she yanks and pulls on the doors; and yet I have had no problems with anything breaking or distorting. I was a bit surprised however, that it didn't come with more accessories, but both of my children didn't seem to mind, and I ended up buying a ton more anyway.This was recommended to me from my sister-in-law, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with young children.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great kitchen because the appliances, phone, etc. make noise when my son presses the buttons. He also loves to turn on and off the undercounter light. It was also very nice that it came with an accessory set to start us out so it was usable right away. The assembly took a couple hours but was not difficult.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We love this kitchen. The worry I have is the plastic, which play food is made from. My kids are trying to chew on it...
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The only con: like most other comments, the assembly was complicated and some of the holes that were needed weren't pre drilled. Also, there was a gouge in part of the plastic from the poor packaging, but luckily it was covered up from another piece when it was assembled. When we first received it I was disappointed because it looked really small, but once we finally got it put together it is a perfect size. It has great storage space even for other dishes and food that we bought for it. The dish rack on top really does hold the plates and bowls, even ones that didn't come with it. It's been a great kitchen so far and well worth the money. My 2 year old loves the sounds it makes, the light, and all the buttons. The "sporks" that it came with aren't anything to brag about, but the other accessories are plenty to keep her busy. We bought extra accessories, but really didn't need to after all.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We purchased this kitchen for our 19 month old boy/girl twins for Christmas. Since they didn't really "get" the concept of Christmas presents, we wanted to surprise them with one big gift that they could both use. This kitchen is great! We set it up on Christmas Eve - it did not take long at all and was easy to do. When the kids saw it Christmas morning, they didn't want to do anything else but play with their kitchen. They love the buttons that make noise (thankfully they are not too loud or obnoxious). They love pretending to cook things on the stove top. They do use the oven door as a step stool to reach the microwave, but so far, it has not fallen off. It seems very durable and I hope we have this kitchen for a long time!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I did a lot of research before making my purchase through Step2 and I can't begin to say how 100% satisfied I am. Their website is easy to use and their customer service was excellent. My two daughters play house together and they absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I got this for my not quite two year old daughter for christmas and it was by far her favorite gift. I looked around at a lot of different kitchens and companies and finally settled on this one. It seemed to be the best for the amount I wanted to spend. The assembly really wasn't that hard, it just took a couple of hours and I did it completely by myself without having to ask for help from my daughter's father. The only thing about it I don't like are the colors - soooo boring.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I did my research before choosing a kitchen for my two year old son and found that no other kitchens even come close to the Step 2 kitchens. I chose the Dream kitchen because it has enough space for two children to play side by side, yet it is not too big. I could not be any happier with my choice. My son plays with his kitchen constantly and so does everyone else who enters our house. It impresses everyone! My husband did not have any trouble with assembly and the quality is great. Step 2 has excellent customer service and awesome products, you can't go wrong! By the way, my sister purchased the Party Time kitchen for my niece and we are just as happy with it.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We love this kitchen! I searched for a long time and was choosing between a wooden one and one of these. I went for this one just because it makes the noises and has so many cabinets and drawers. I think that this is the best version. Others like the Grand kitchen or the delux kitchen are a waste of more money when you can have this one and it does the trick. Great product!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I love this kitchen. We ordered it for our 14 month old and while she is a little young, she still loves it. I can tell she will use it for a long time to come. It seems very sturdy..as my daughter pulls the oven down and stands on it to reach the microwave. She loves all the sounds, but I wish the fridge/water dispenser made noise (my daughter always pushes the fake buttons). I researched a lot of kitchens before we bought this one and it was the best buy. It is a good size (but not overwhelming) with a lot of storage for extra pots/pans and food. I would definitely recommend this kitchen to friends and family.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this kitchen after many hours spent searching for THE ONE (we read all the reviews from several sources). My husband and I put it together Christmas Eve night, already exhausted from our day, and we didn't have one issue (we are not the handyman type and usually screw something up, but not in this case!). Even though we were half asleep and grouchy, we played with it for an hour ourselves. My daughter at 21 months loves it more than Elmo, which I thought could never happen.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We bought this kitchen for our 2 year old daughter, for Christmas. When we were putting it together on Christmas Eve, we realized that Step2 neglected to send some of the parts with it, including the drawer covers. I was very disappointed, because this was supposed to be all ready to go, on Christmas morning for our little one. The microwave makes a weird cooking sound and the sink makes no noise, which I think is something they should change.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
my 17-month old son is warming up to this kitchen. the electronic buttons on the stove and microwave are his main interest so far. I think as he gets older and more into imaginative play he will enjoy this kitchen even more. right now he is very tactile and likes to take things apart, so he will take the drawers out and throw some things on the floor and move on to the next activity. it has distracted him from getting into all of our kitchen drawers for now - which is great.

The kitchen is cute. Both my children like the toy. It came with very few food items, you will need to pick up more. The drawers pull out too easily. My daughter can't keep them in. I felt the fridge is on the small side as well. I like the stove noises and the microwave. I think my daughter will enjoy this for some time.

I will highly recommend it to everyone.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This kitchen is wonderful for young children. My grandaughter (20 months old) loved it from the very beginning. She loves the light, the stove that bubbles and sizzles. Great product. One suggestion: The kitchen would be better if the drawers did not come out (like the silverware drawer) Other that that, I would recommend this product to anyone and would buy it again!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My parents bought this kitchen for my nine-month old for Christmas. We debated if she was ready for such a 'big-girl' kitchen, but I am so glad we decided to get this one. She loves to open to lower drawers and pull everything out. She is at just the right height to hold onto the counter and sink. She has even learned to open the oven and stand on it to reach the phone and it hasn't broken yet! I think she will continue to love this kitchen as she gets big enough to play with it as a kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I love all the sounds the kitchen has. My 21 month old daughter has not stopped playing with hers since we got it for her. One drawback - I wish the fridge door (water/ice dispenser) made some sort of sound too like the rest of the kitchen. Great toy.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I bought this for my grandbaby who is 2 1/2. The assembly took 1 1/2 hours. My daughter and I assembled it Christmas day. I added six 3 " drywall screws to the back and sides for added strength. My grandbaby loves it and is already grasping the concept of cooking meals. She loves to play with the kitchen with her friends. The kitchen is attractive and the extras such as the phone and burners are really adorable. [...] All of the parts were in the package and the instructions were clear.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This is a great kitchen! We did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this one, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. It was easy to assemble; my hubby did it during part of a football game with very little effort and I applied the stickers! It comes with just the right amount of accessories to get your little one started; enough to teach them how to pretend play, which is why we purchased the kitchen in the first place. Let's face it, if it came with ALL of the accessories, it would be overwhelming and the pieces would end up all over the house! This kitchen is also the perfect size, not too big or too small. It fits nicely up against the wall in our living room. I thought about putting it in the kitchen (yes, even in a townhouse, it will fit in the kitchen), but decided it was unsafe. This kitchen was worth the money and will last for years to come!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This was brought to our house by Santa and our 2 year old boy loves it. He is definitely a cheif in the making who would never leave my nice pots and pans alone. The kitchen has now allowed him to work his own masterpieces up. It also brought him and his 8yr old brother together in great imaginative play.

I got it as a Christmas gift for my 3 year old twins. It took my husband a couple of hours to put it together. Once it's assembled, the kids just rushed to it and had hours of fun. When their friends come, the kitchen area becomes the most densely populated area. We may need to get more accessories.

my little girl loved this it is made well. The only problem we have with this kitchen is it didn't have a door for the oven and not the right amont of screws. But i called the next day and a door is on its way. You defantly need a drill most of the screws are very long.The only thing that matters is that my daughter loves it and she does!

My 2 year old daughter got this for Christmas and absolutely loves it. She spent hours on it the first day and it has not gotten old to her yet. It is a nice design too, so I don't mind having it in my living room. It took my husband and I about an hour to put it all together. I am very happy with my purchase..

I brought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and just about every night - when she gets home, she fixes me dinner with her kitchen. She loves it!
It wasn't difficult to assemble and moving it around is very easy.

We got this kitchen for our three year old son for Christmas. I(the father) being a chef loves to cook with my son at home and now he has his own kitchen to play in.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Wonderful product! Our daughter loves this kitchen and all the working parts, nooks and crannies, and accessories. It is very sturdy, which is a plus. The assembly required a little extra elbow grease in that some of the holes were not pre-drilled as expected. The bottom cabinet doors do not completely close due to resistence from the frame, but our daughter doesn't care about that and we don't mind a small gap. [...]. Thank you!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our 20 month old daughter absolutely loves "cooking" in her own kitchen. Her favorite things seem to be opening all of the cabinets/doors and using the "sizzling" or "bubbling" stovetop. It was pretty easy to assemble, but did require 2 people. I'm sure we'll get many years of play with it.

I ordered this product for my granddaughter who is 20 months old. She loves it! She plays with it on and off all day. Pretends to make coffee for her papa. She is so cute! She loves the light above the sink. She sometimes has trouble getting the drawers back in, but she is a little thing. It will last her a long time and could last through more grandchildren, too. I will be buying more products from Step2.

My 2 1/2 year old great grandaughter has a very active imagination and is enjoying this item very much. Her mother is working with her and enjoying the bonding. This item compliments the Step 2 "outdoor" play house that is actually indoors.

My little girl (almost 2 yrs.) received this for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She cooks for us all the time and plays with it everyday.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
we spent a lot of time reviewing kitchens. we initially passed on "step 2" since the kitchens looked a little country for our tastes. but the reviews of "little tykes" sounded really mixed (and a little TOO techy- i don't need the kitchen talking to my kid. i think it gets in the WAY of imaginative play). and the wooden kitchens seemed way too heavy. and gender neutral was a huge plus for our boy.
once we settled on "step 2", this one seemed to be the perfect size. unfortunately, i think it's being phased out. act fast, it's the only one that COMES WITH FOOD! (granted, not a lot, but enough to keep our 20 month old busy!)
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My daughter has this set up in the kitchen. It keeps my 20 month old grandson occupied while my daughter is working in the kitchen. Such fun for him and is a help to her!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I am a grandparent, my 18 month old granddaughter loved this Christmas gift. I see that this occupys her immagination and promotes creativity. I forsee this being used for years to come not just by her but other grandchildren.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We just bought this for our 21 mo old son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it!! He loves all the sounds and features. He loves all the drawers, cabinets, and doors. The accessories are great, too. We put it in our family room right off of our kitchen and it looks great!!! This is a great product and seems to be constructed very well. We're so glad we chose this one!!! I will be recommending this product to all of my friends in our play group!!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We got this for my boys (1 yo and 3 yo) for Christmas and they love it. Pretty easy to assemble, but would have been better if the holes for the screws were pre-drilled. Also, there were a couple of missing pieces when it arrived. All I had to do was call Step 2 and we received the missing parts within a week. Great service!
I will definitely recommend this product to friends and order from Step 2 again in the future.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
This was an X-mas gift for my daughter. We have her kitchen set up in our eat-in area, next to my kitchen cabinets. My 2 year old loves to "cook" beside me! Daddy seems to enjoy play cooking too...much better than doing the real cooking! She constantly plays "chef" throughout the day, brings food to everyone, etc. Yes, I have pieces everywhere, but the ample storage makes it easy to clean up after bedtime. My only complaint is that the phone's batteries do not fit correctly... sometimes one pops out of place and I have to unscrew it and push the battery back in. The other "noises" work fine and my daughter loves to cook on the noisy stove! FYI- if the lids are on the pots, the pots are MUCH quieter!!!!!

Grandchildren play with this toy for hours.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
I love it and so does my 2 year old! Perfect size and earth-tone colors are great for using it in common living areas.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Bought this for our 15-month-old son. Honestly, we also bought this for ourselves, thinking it would keep him busy and allow for independent play. So far, it hasn't disappointed -- he likes examining all the pieces, pulling the drawers out, and opening & closing all cabinets. He's a little young/small for it, but we're anticipating we'll get many years out of the kitchen.
Easy to assemble, clear instructions, and it looks nice.
Ordering direct from Step2 was as easy as ordering from anywhere else!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My husband and I bought this kitchen for our 1 yr old and all of us are loving it! Before I purchased it, I researched this kitchen and others. The reviews were great and they were helpful to my husband while he was assembling the kitchen. We had the electric screw driver handy and placed stickers before setting it up. My 1 yr old and visiting children love it! All children run straight to the kithen even my teenage neices and nephews! It is very durable, therefore I am not on pins and needles when older children play with it. When she gets older, I will purchase more food and dishes. For now, it is perfect what she has already. I highly recommend the product.
Everyone is in my kithchen!

This product was easy to assemble. My 20 month old daughter LOVES it day and night. For the price, it is a wonderful kitchenette. Also, it comes with plenty of food, pots and pans to stimulate play. The fact that it actually works (lights, cooking sounds, functioning telephone)is what convinced me to purchase it over other kitchenettes on the market. The fact that it's entirely plastic is a bummer but we'll donate it to a preschool when we're done with it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
The screws for the nobs are a little too long, if you tighten them too much they start to pop out the other side.
The screws were listed as one set of lengths on the list of parts and a different set of lengths on the step by step directions.
Over all I am VERY pleased with the purchase, my 2 year old loves it already, and I think she'll have years of play with it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
My 2 year old loves it. She plays with it everyday for at least an hour. Well worth it. It is the perfect size. Not too small, not too big.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
We have friends with 2 boys who love their step 2 kitchen, so we decided to get one for our 19 month old daughter. She loves it!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
It was great except we put it together on Christmas eve and found out the microwave door was missing!
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
If you don't already have a lot of accessories, I highly recommend you get more "stuff" (play food, etc.) The upper doors don't fully close, which is disappointing. It was very easy to put together with two sets of hands! My almost 3-year-old is thrilled with it - especially the realistic sounds on the stove! [...]
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
What a bargin. When searching the web this was the best price around. [...] My little one loves it and has already put it to great use.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Kids love this kitchen. Realistic noises, stove, oven, etc.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
[...] I never heard any complaints from my son-in-law as to any difficulty assembling the kitchen. My three year old grandson immediately began playing and pretending. It was definitely his most popular Christmas gift. This is my first grandchild and I'm sure this kitchen will be around for future grandchildren. Hopefully Grandma can expand with some of Step-2's other products.
Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen:
Our little girl got this kitchen for Christmas this year at 21 months. It is perfect for her pretending to make food. She loves turning on the under counter light. In fact, that is the first thing she does every morning when we come downstairs. She loves the phone and the other push buttons. Also the sounds on the stove with the pot and skillet are great! The only thing I would change is making the kitchen sink have some sort of sound such as running water. That would truly make the whole kitchen perfect. But other than that we have no complaints. Took a little time for my husband to put together Christmas evening. Probably took a little over an hour.
