My Daughter received this as a Christmas Gift and she went to it right away. Even though she isn't 2 yet sh still loves to play with everything.

I love watching her play in the kitchen, being a Chef by profession it is wonderful to watch my daughter play in this kitchen play area.

We love the kitchen it's for a 1 and 3 year old. I would have given 5 stars if the phone worked. The screw is stripped out so we can't get the battery cover off. I just contacted Step 2 and I'm hoping for a response. Other than that, I'm very impressed with the quality and size.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I'm really glad we purchased this item. My daughter loves it, we play all the time. She is always cooking. There were a few accessories, but nothing that cant be fixed. Although I did wish that there were actually buttons instead of stickers. Is there anyway that I can purshase actual buttons for the stove and microwave??

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 18-month-old loves playing kitchen and loves this kitchen. It is a good size and the prices was excellent for what we needed. I also called customer service and ordered the electronic keypad for the microwave and oven to give her a little more to do (she likes things that beep). She will get a lot of play of this!

IT IS WONDERFUL AND MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT.

I bought this for my 1 yr old daughter. She seems to like it for the most part. I wish there was more storage in it though and it lacks accessories. Also, I am now very disappointed. When I chose this kitchen I was under the impression that it was a section to the Grand Walk In Kitchen and that I would be able to buy the additions for the kitchen, based on a Step 2 brochure I had received. Now knowing that this was not the case, I am very upset, especially considering the lack of space in the drawers, oven, etc.

My son loves to cook has since he was 2. He got this kitchen for Christmas 2 years and he hasn't stopped playing with it. He has now moved on to doing some real cooking in the kitchen but when he can't cook for real he goes right for the play kitchen and it keeps him busy for hours!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Read comments and was worried about assembly, It was very easy to do for a Grandparent. Grandson Has not stopped playing with kitchen. Him and I have cooked up a storm!

Enjoyed so much, ordered a kitchen for his home!
Thank you, Step 2.

I bought this item for my granddaughter to play with at my house for when I kept her overnight she would have something to do. She loves to serve grandpa and nana. I wish this kitchen would of come with a coffee pot and cups. Although it came with 2 plates 2 bowls and 2 drinking cups, I wish it would of come with more.
The only thing I see they could improve on is, the amount of storage space. If they could put a cabinet where the window is for the dishes. The bowls do not like to stay in the slanted rack and they often fall out.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

would be wonderful but open box and missing parts! cant take back to big box retailer because dont have the orginal packaging and or reciept as was a gift for daughters birthday. Oh and the heartbroken look on her face!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen is good, but disappointed to see that instead of electronic key pad for microwave and oven, now they have a sticker. The older version which one of our friends have the electronic key pad for microwave and oven. My daughter keeps looking why in her kitchen microwave and oven doesnt make any sounds. I thought for newer version, this should have more features, insteadof removing already existing features.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 2 year old and 7 year old both play with this kitchen. Easy to put together with an angle cordless drill and two people. I wish the oven had a rack in it and was a little bit bigger, but overall this is a great little kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I found this kitchen on line and the grandparents bought it for my son's second birthday. I just put it together last night, so this is a pretty early review. (that's why I'm only giving 4 stars for now - may be 5 after he plays with it for a while). It was not difficult to put together at all - and all I used was a screwdriver - no drill needed. The places that didn't have holes per-drilled, you just screw into the plastic.My son came downstairs and went straight to his new kitchen (which he hadn't seen before) and started to play with it right away. I think it will be great for his imagination and (hopefully) a great toy for years to come. I also like that it is not too big, so it fits nicely in our small playspace[...]

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this for our 2yr old daughter for her birthday because she "cooks" while I cook. She LOVES this kitchen. It's a great size for smaller ones too - at 2 she's only 30" tall and she can reach everything. She plays with it all the time. She cooks and feeds us and her dolls. The burner makes sounds based on whether you put a pot (boiling water) or skillet (sizzeling) on it. She calls her friends too. What we didn't like about it is that we needed a drill to drill holes in some places. You can see where the screw is supposed to go in but you have to work pretty hard if you don't drill a hole. It took us about an hour to put it together which isn't bad but I expected it to be a little easier. The little door on the left is warped but not enough of a problem to return it/exchange it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this b/c we wanted a kitchen for our girls' playhouse. We picked this one b/c it was not too wide - but it has been really perfect!! My girls (twins that are 2 and their older sister who is 4) all love it. They spend hours making 'pies' and 'pasta'. The sounds that the kitchen make are great and for such a small space, it really has everything. My girls love it so much that they want me to bring it back into our house at night. So much fun - we LOVE it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen is not too atractive for young kids since there is not interactive buttons or music that kids love... My baby is 16 months old and she find hard to play with this new kitchen because it looks more than other furniture in the house, not so atractive for her, but maybe better for preescholers of older kids

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

The kitchen is a resonable price. My daughter got it for Christmas last year and her and my son play with it every day..My little cousins come over and play for hours with them on it..

My granddaughter loves it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Very nice product, both of my girls 4 year and a 2 year old enjoy their kitchen. Even though the gift was intended for my 4 year old my 2 year old seems to love it more.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Bought this for my son for his thrid birthday after he showed an interest in it while at a friends house. He loves it and his 10 year old sister willing plays with him now. Only draw back is there needs to be a shelf in the fridge and some play food with it would have been great.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This product is great, and the consumer service dept actually ANSWERED the phone on the first try, and sent me some replacement decals (destroyed by my daughter). It is rare to find this kind of client attention in today's retail culture. THANK YOU!!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is the best product for my little girl. Her brother is 5 and even loves playing with it. Im so happy with this product.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I love the stove that makes noise and lights up, very realistic and the buttons that make noise.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My two boys love this kitchen. Was not hard to assemble at all. Seems to be very durable and glad that I did not buy the wooden kitchen since this one seems more fun. This kitchen is the perfect size especially if you have small space.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

A fun gift for my granddaughter!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter loves to pretend to cook and this kitchen set definitely serves it's purpose. We live in a small apartment so I was trying to find a nice play kitchen that wouldn't take up so much space and this is the perfect one. The only thing I don't like is that it didn't come with any play food but you can easily buy the food seperately. Other than that.....this was a great buy!!!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

It is the first thing my daughter plays with when she wakes up in the morning! She makes us breakfast everyday :-) We love it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

this was a great buy
we bought it for our son
all the other kitchens were way to girly
this one is great for boys

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I saw the item and it looked great in picture. So i decided to buy my daughter one for her first birthday. However, the package came in with a poor quality kitchen set. It can easily fall and damage by push in the cheap plastic. I guess it is not bad for [$]. If your seriously want to buy one for your child and not mind spend the extra money, than i suggest to keep looking for something else nicer.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My son got this kitchen when he was 17 months old. We were looking for a less expensive kitchen that did not take up to much space and was not to girly. For the most part we love it. He has hours of fun cooking (we had to buy food) and serving it to the family. I think it was a great choice for our needs. A few improvements are needed but I am willing to over look for the price.

1) The assembly is a little tough. The holes are not pre-drilled so you need a power drill. If you have one, no biggie.

2) The microwave is to small. The dish does not even fit in it without having to go in on an angle and the the food falls off.

3) The stove is really tall but does not have a shelf in it. It is a lot of useless space. Only one small item can be cooked at once.

4) The spout on the sink is a little wobbly. No big deal but thought I would mention i,

5) The fridge is sometime hard to open for my now 19 month old. It stick sometime and I have seen him almost pull the whole unit down on him when trying to open it (note: only once and I stress "almost").

6) There is really no "work space" on the kitchen.

7) The pots are a little small for larger food items. I did not buy Step 2 food so that could fix this problem.

That all said, I ranked the kitchen high because compared to other kitchens in the price range it is far better. I have a lot of friends who have the big version and it solves all of these issues but it is also more than twice the price. It is worth the buy and your kids will love it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

She has so much fun pretending to be like mommy. The burner sounds amuse her greatly and she loves putting her dishes up.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My granddaughter received this for her first birthday. She has so much fun pretending with the kitchen. We have added extra food items and accessories. It will last for years.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This product is too cool! I felt that the price was very reasonable too. I love that it has real cupboards, drawers and appliances that you can open and store items in. I play with it with my daughter and my husband says, "I'm not sure who is more excited about this! You or Theresa." It's fun for Mom's too!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 2.5 year old grandson loved all the compartments. After he tired of making cookies and pizza we played 'Hide Spidey'. One person leaves the room while the other hides a small Spiderman action figure. Inside the oven mitt proved to be the most challenging to discover. I had to beg him to stop. :-)

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

i like the kitchen and so does my son. the only complaint that i have is that it doesnt have enought room to "prepare" the food. i feel like for [$] it should have more counter space

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Santa Claus brought this for my daugther and I can't keep her out of the kitchen. Money well spent. Before I can take her coat off, she is in the kitchen playing. I have to make her stop playing so she can go to bed and I have to distract her in the morning before she heads to the kitchen. She and I love this piece. I was intimidated at first to put it together because I only had a screw driver. It was very easy but not all the holes for the screws are pre-fabricated. Something to check before you start. I had a tool that allowed me to make holes but I did mess up with one screw while assembling the piece but you can't tell and the section (counter top) is still secure. This piece is very nice and fits the area perfectly. The perfect piece for my toddler who thinks she is a chef. She wants to cook for everyone. A must have for all children. Even the older kids who visit enjoys the kitchen. I can't keep them away.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My son absolutely loves this kitchen! He got it for Christmas and has made me several 'meals' from it. When I am making our dinner, he cooks in his kitchen. The sounds are really cool, too. I would recommend adding a few play food pieces to go with the included cookware.

Overall great product!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Based on the reviews I got this for our 19 month old girl and she just loves it and plays with it a lot. It was the highlight of her Christmas day and continues to be the highlight of her day. For the money this was a great purchase and I'm very happy with it! I'm sure it's going to be a center for entertainment and enjoyment for both her and her brother for years to come!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My two year old daughter and 4 year old son love "making soup and eggs" with the sound effects.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My granddaughter loves the kitchen. She plays with it every day.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Product seems durable and my daughter loves it however, the doors don't stay closed on their own and the drawers come all the way out of the unit and my daughter isn't capable of putting it back in. The phone hangs on the unit in a very tight clip which is difficult for a small child to remove and replace. The assembly instructions were poor because they didn't refer to the parts as they were listed in the contents page.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I purchased this kitchen recently for my family daycare to replace a very old Step 2 kitchen that I had. I have infants and toddlers up to age 3 and thought they would love this kitchen. Today is the third day of use. I don't think the oven door will last, since the 2 yr. olds tend to kneel on it once they open it. The 10 mo. old opens the cupboard and refrigerator doors and pushes on them so hard that I'm afraid they won't last long either. The railing in front of the dish rack is flimsy and a few good tugs will probably break it. The kids do love the sounds the burner and phone makes. I had a lot of play food and accessories already, so that makes it more fun for the kids. This kitchen is not nearly as sturdy as the old one I had, but it is more interesting to the kids. I found the storage to be adequate.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this kitchen for my 22 month old daughter for Christmas and she instantly loved it! She loves pressing the buttons for the microwave and oven and pretending to dispense water and ice from the refrigerator door. Her 16 month old cousin came over to play and she instantly loved it too. The bubbling and sizzling sounds for the pot and pan are very cute as well. My husband and I were also impressed with the high quality of the materials and detailed assembly instructions.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We love the product. I did a lot of searching before buying this kitchen set. It fits my son well, and has just the right amount of "stuff" to keep him interested. You will run out of counter space though. We placed another side table beside the set to help him out. He is 3. And it is not girly. The most important part!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is a great kitchen if you need something compact. Not really as sturdy as I'd hoped. The faucet doesn't really fit well, could easily get pulled out. Not bad for the money when you've shopped other kitchens. Overall, my children love it, so that's what really counts!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This was a Christmas present for my 2 year old daughter. My husband put it together so I'm not sure how easy or difficult assemly is. He didn't complain though. When my daughter walked in to the room she was so excited she was shivering. We had a tough time pulling her away to unwrap her other gifts. And this kitchen is her favorite gift. She is always playing with it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter loves copying what she see's Mommy & Daddy doing in the kitchen with her kitchen. Everything is within her reach and I can't keep her away from it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We purchased this for our 19 mth old daughter for Christmas and she loves it. We wanted something that both her and my 5 year old step daughter could play with now as well as something we could pass down to our next child. Both girls have maintained great interest in it and it is definitely durable!!! My husband assembled it and did not have any problems. (He did use an electric drill) We did a lot of shopping around and while I wanted a little larger kitchen, we did not want one that took up too much space. This one turned out to be a great choice and includes all the necessities!!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter got this as a christmas gift from grandparents[...] She loves it[...]

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Bought it to teach my 4 year old grandson and 20 month old grandaughter to share. Their little faces lit up when they saw it on Christmas morning! They went right back to it after opening their other gifts. I would venture to say that it is their favorite gift. In fact, my grandson tries to take complete control. The sounds are so realistic and the appliances are great.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My boys ages 2 & 4 received this for Christmas. I know that most toy kitchens are geared towards girls, but my boys also love to help in the kitchen and I thought this would be great...Well, I was right! It provided hours of entertainment, they both love the sounds it makes, and the phone, and they've been, "cooking" up a storm ever since it arrived. Even my 10 year old daughter, (Who had her own play kitchen as a toddler) got into it and played grocery store and house with her little brothers.

I would suggest a larger model if you have multiple children playing, as it is one of the smaller ones, but it fits nicely in our play room and has enough features to keep my kids busy and entertained.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

love step 2 products!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is a great kitchen - not too small at all. We bought this for my son last Christmas when he was 18 months old and it was a big hit. He is now 2 1/2 and still uses the kitchen almost everyday. He is tall for his age and the kitchen is not small for him at all. There is definitely enough room for 2 kids to play comfortably together. I was debating abouting buying a more expensive model, but really it was unnecessary - this one has everything a child needs. My sister just bought the same one this year for her son - I definitely recommend this kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Bri loves her kitchen. I wish they would have added a over rack & more counter space. They also needed more storage space. I bought a table with benches that open to store extra pot & pans, dishes & food. Overall a great little kitchen. Looks great in my kitchen matched very well. [...]

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I love this kitchen I just bought it yesterday and I set it up today and I do agree that there should be predrilled holes because I put the screws in with a handheld philips and it was kind of hard to screw through the plastic. I just fixed that by using a thin nail and making a hole with a hammer and that made it easier. Although 2 screws and the plates,cups,etc were missing I am still satisfied of how beautiful and perfectly sized it is. I will still give it to my daughter on christmas even though one of the knobs isn't screwed in and the accessories are missing. Hopefully I'll get a replacement parts soon. I know my daughter will enjoy it for years to come. Thank you

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this kitchen for our daughter last year for Christmas - who was two at the time and is now three. It is still one of her favorite toys. We weren't sure about it at first since it is one of the smaller versions of the Step 2 kitchen, but we didn't want something huge. We've been delighted with the purchase. It is perfect for our little girl. We bought a small food set to go with it - not one of the 100 piece sets and it worked perfectly. Not too much to pick up.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen is a really fun toy for any child. My 3yr old daughter loves it. Plays with it for hours. [...] other then that Great Toy worth every penny!!!!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

The kitchen is very cute and has lots of accessories the girls have loved to play with... I end up picking them up all over the house. :)

The assembly wasn't as easy as I had thought. It would be helpful to have a drill.

Seeing the video of our grand-daughter when she first saw her Lifestyle Custom Kitchen said it all!! What a beautiful picture of sheer delite! Our grandbaby couldn't have been happier. Thank you Step 2 for all your wonderful products!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My seventeen month old loves this kitchen. I like that it does not have a lot of bells and whistles - it helps to promote his imaginative play. He enjoys the sounds the stove makes and opening and closing the many drawers and cabinets. I felt that it was easy to put together, though there were a few holes that needed to be drilled. It's stable and attractive. I do wish that the stove and sink area were larger, but I feel that it was worth the money.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

She loves to play with her pots and pans and has stopped getting into our kitchen cabinets as much

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I bought this for my grandchildren to play with when they visit. I was disappointed when I found the small drawer missing and a pot. I also couldn't get the burner to work. It had a faint sound, but even changing the brand of batteries didn't do the trick. I thought it was really cute and looks like a real kitchen, but was a little dismayed with the storage space. The kids have a lot of play food & dishes! A rack in the oven would have been nice too.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this kitchen for my son as a birthday gift. He just turned 3 and LOVES to help in the kitchen. He is fascinated by the toy and wants to play with it every day. He tells me every day "I like this present" and can't wait to get home from daycare to make dinner in his kitchen. His younger sister (who is 11 months)also likes to play with it.

Assembly was time-consuming - I took us about 1 hour to put it together - but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I wish the kitchen came with more accessories - like food or more plates- but it is a good start.

I think we will have this toy around for a long time. I also like it that it is not huge and it fits nicely in the play area we have for our kids.

I would definitively recommend to buy this toy if you are looking for a toy-kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My son who is 20 months old loves the kitchen. At this age he cannot turn the stove knobs but he is able to play with everything else. The only thing I would change is to have the "plate rack" a little bigger because it feels a little forced when trying to fit the plates in it. I think it is a nice kitchen for the price although it might be worth the extra money to buy the bigger model if more than one child will be playing with it regularly.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Four grandchildren, ages 1-5 go straight to this kitchen before any other toys in the playroom. Love all the sounds for interactive play.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen is great! My son is almost 5, and just got the kitchen last night, and LOVES it. Great little kitchen, my only wish is that it came with more accessories. **And if you need to replace parts, calling customer service is a breeze, and they are super nice and helpful. [...]Thanks Step2!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We have cooking time, it fits into the play house area, nice for a compact kitchen set. The phone dose not work well though, the screw stripped opening the baterie compartment the first time and no longer closes.

Excellent shape and size for small spaces. Great for girls and boys! Easy assembly, put together during short snap time.

This kitchen is great. I purchase it for a Birthday gift for my daughter. She look this kitchen . I am a very picky person. I loved this kitchen. Stop searching the web. Buy this one.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 2 year old loves this kitchen. It does not take up too much space which is ideal for a small apt. He is also quickly learning new words like "eggplant" and "stainless steel":)It's not my personal design aesthetic, but he loves it and that's all that matters.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

for the price it's a great toy. I have a 2 1/2 and a 1 year old and they just love playing with their kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Great design... doesn't take up a lot of space... you can put it up flat against the wall, where other models have a table or bbq on other side that looks fun, until you realize you have to move it to the center of the room for them to play with. This is in my daughters sm. bdrm- she got it when she was 15 months old, and has played with it tons (even her 3 year old brother loves to join in.) It was worth every penny!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I bought this for my 17 month old who enjoys it and the accessories that come with it. I wish the fridge did something more, maybe a light or something. My 8 year old plays with my youngest with this and enjoys it as well. For the money I paid I just wish there were more lights and sounds. Its easy to put together and sturdy as well. Just be aware that the oven door opens and touches the ground and my daughter has tried to use it as a stepping stool. This can cause a tip hazzard. But overall I would expect this item to last many years of fun imaginative playtime. Very attractive and even matches the Step2 Lifestyle table and chairs we bought. Very nice.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter (15 months) loves this kitchen. I like that you can pick green or red to go with your home decor. She plays with the phone and stove a lot. I wish there were more sounds, but I didn't want to get the larger one. Only two things I wish were different. The refrigerator door doesn't stay shut very well and the oven door stays closed too well, it takes some elbow grease to get it open. That could just be the case with mine. I assembled it during her nap (in 1 hour). Definitly use an electric screw driver. I bought more accessories to go with it because it has the capacity to hold more. It stands up well on tile and carpet and is very sturdy. I will be keeping this for a long time. I feel comfotable with the plastic curved edges opposed to wood ones with sharp edges and it's light enough to move from room to room. This kitchen is worth it, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This was a gift for my one year old daughter. She loves to play with it! This is one of the few play kitchens with drawers.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is a great kitchen, but the assembly was a pain as there are no holes so you have to go through the thick plastic with the screws. Other than that we have no complaints and our son loves it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Again nice compact size (for those who are space-lacking) yet tall enough for my 2 y/o son. Came w/great, durable pans, plates, utensils & glasses (enough for 2), although you must get your own food. Thanks Step 2!

missing almost all parts

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I do wish there was food included with the play set.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

The kitchen was easy to put together and keeps my 2 and 3 year old busy for hours!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My only complaint was that not all the holes were pre-drilled. My husband had no difficulty using the screwdriver to screw them into the plastic but I wasn't able to assemble the toy by myself. Other than that, it went together very easily. My youngest, and only girl, is the one who plays with it the most but even my 5 year old boy has played with it a few times. I know as Jenna, who is just 15 months old, gets older she will only enjoy it more and more. We LOVE that this toy is made in the USA. It was one of the major factors in choosing it over others. [...] All in all, we're happy with this purchase and look forward to many happy years with it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I put this together on my own in about half an hour. Super easy. Began w/out a drill and then ran out to garage to get one b/c it is impossible to screw into the plastic w/out. My 2 yr old loves it. Cons, instead of the cutesy fake window, the space would be better utilised with a mini cabinet to store dishes, food, etc. Also wish the sink was a bit deeper, maybe by an inch. Do not like that in order to screw in burner need tiny tool and the holes are recessed so you can't tell if its actually screwing in or not. I left our undone to be able to replace batteries easier. The burner lights and noises were going off as if possesed (w/out the pot to prompt it), so step 2 is sending out free replacement.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I bought this kitchen for my 16 month old niece. she loves putting the pot on the stove and hearing the "sizzling" sounds. She's still very young for it, but I think she will have many years of fun with it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

our 18 month old loves playing with this set...she stops at it tinkers with it all the time. Only bad thing was that the box was missing the refrigerator door. Looks like shelves instead. We contacted Step2 and they said they'd ship out the door.[...]

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I got this for my two year old Grandson, I'm big on trying to get U.S.A. made anything so this was a big plus. The only problem we had was a missing drawer front(glad we put together early) but with prompt service we had the part plus an extra basket delivered in time for X-Mas. It was a big hit at our house I hated to see it go over to their house so I am looking into other Step2 products for my home and his too. (I would like the fact that the accesorries are from another country known before hand)but still a real good deal! Keep up the good work.

We purchased this kitchen for our 16mos. daughter for christmas. The product was easy to assemble and she has been playing with it everyday. It is the perfect size- not too big and not too small- we didn't want anything too big. It fits in our kitchen so she can cook along with us! Her seven year old brother has actually been cooking with her too.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I put this kitchen together by myself but found that you really needed a drill to secure the screws and that in many places there were no holes for the screws. My daughter loves the sounds and the size is great. Fits in her room comfortably and the height was good (my daughter is tall for her age). She wished it has a blender or other parts that made sounds but she does play with it everyday.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I'm really glad we chose this play kitchen. We heard horror stories from friends who spent hours putting together other kitchens with hundreds of pieces. This one was easy to assemble in less than an hour and our daughter loves it. She really loves the sound effects and I love that it keeps her occupied while I work in the kitchen. I wish it had a couple more drawers or another cabinet but overall it's great. I also love that it's made in the USA.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I bought this kitchen for my two-year old daughter for christmas and she loves it! My boys ages three and four also enjoy playing with the kitchen. I didn't think the kitchen would be big enough if all three wanted to play together, but I was wrong. It was definitely the best purchase I've made thus far. Also, you either need to have an electric screwdriver or a really strong arm!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Both my two and four year old love their new kitchen set. They love to pretend to cook for the family. It keeps them entertained and was easy for to put together on Christmas Eve. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to purchase a play kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is a great kitchen for the money. My 22 month old loves it. She is constantly using the phone and pretending to wash dishes in the sink. It was easy to assemble and is just the right size for her bedroom. The only con is that I wish it had a bigger counter space, it doesn't have any empty counter space--it is just the stove top and sink.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 3 year old daughter loves this kitchen! It allows her to be just like mommy and cook on her own. The multipule activites (oven, stove and fridge) are great. I constantly hear her talking on "the phone" with her friends about dinner. Definately a winner!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My son LOVES this product. [...] Would definitely buy directly from the Step2 site again.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

It took a while to assemble. When all is done, it came out pretty cute and sturdy. My 7 year old daughter wanted a kitchen for a while, and we gave her this for Christmas. She barely plays with it, but my 2 year old boy will play with the stove quite often. I would recommend this to younger children.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My granddaughter loves her "house". She goes to the store, brings home food, putsit away and cooks "soup". Then she starts the sequence again. It's wonderful and allows my daughter to cook dinner without the baby around the real stove.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter really loves her new kitchen. She cooks in it at the same time I'm cooking.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

wish the microwave made some realistic sounds.my 2 year old daughter took the cell phone and used it to get the sound of setting the cooking time.other than that nice first time kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this kitchen for our two year old twins for Christmas and they love it. It keeps them busy fixing me meals!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Santa delivered this Kitchen to my son on Christmas morning. He LOVES it!!! His Papa is always cooking and he always enjoys helping him so he is thrilled to now have a kitchen of his own. My son is 3 1/2 and has been playing with this everyday for at least some part of the day. He enjoys the sounds and all the features. He likes "Cooking" meals for everyone in the family. I love the fact that it fosters creativity and imaginative play. My husband said it was fairly easy to put together, taking maybe an hour to complete. Size of the kitchen is great, not too big but 2 children can play side by side comfortably. Would be perfect if it came with at least a couple of things to cook. Not a problem though, Santa also supplied him with some basic kitchen food. My one year old even tries to play too but only when big brother lets him.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen set really is great - and the price is even better compared to what other kitchen sets cost. This set seems to be very durable and has (so far) survived the rough playing from my 1 yr old. We both love how the burner makes realistic noises. She LOVES the cell phone -it looks realistic and beeps when you press the buttons. And she loves opening and closing all the doors and pressing the buttons on the oven and microwave. Overall this was a really great purchase.[...] Also, the assembly was awkward b/c not all the holes are pre-drilled. I still was able to assemble it fairly easily and quickly (without a drill). I assembled it Christmas Eve, and it took about 45 minutes. Even with the assembly quirks - I would still recommend this product to a friend!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Purchases for grandson- he loves it & plays daily with it. A great value and not too feminine looking for a boy! Didn't realize the burners had remote controls. Did not want to pre-drill holes in the plastic, but had to. My Grandson has played everyday with it since he got it. Over all, he loves it and I would purchase it again.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

up the price and include 1 set of batteries for eahc noise function, more accessories

this was a christmas gift to my daughter and she loves it. its the first time she has ever pretended to make pancakes!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This was a Christmas gift for my one year old daughter and she loves it. Of course she is not using it for imaginative play yet but she enjoys standing at the kitchen and transferring things from the cabinet to oven to basket, etc. Enter my 34 month-old son who thinks the kitchen was his gift! He has been "cooking" for us non-stop. It has helped his imagination to soar. The kitchen is the most-played-with toy in our house for several weeks now. We are very pleased with our purchase. Thanks!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this kitchen for our 18month old son's second Christmas. He loves it!!! It is a great size for him. I read about and looked at every kitchen before we decided on this one... very pleased! He loves everything about it and will play by himself. It has many storage areas and the sounds are losts of fun. I did have to buy some play food. It was easy to assemble by myself. My husband did have to help with one screw and dig out extra plastic in a hole...easy to fix. I would highly recommend this kitchen!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I love step2 both quality and design and this item was even more than I anticipated when I opened it...the realistic features for the microwave and stovetop were an added features,I think are great. I bought the bistro grille for my grandson in the summer and was impressed by it and he loves it and my grandaughter loves the kitchen..I always comparision shop for play items for my grandchildren and so far step2 is always the winner...

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My son loves this kitchen. He received it for Christmas and has played with it everyday since. I wish it had come with a few more accessories, such as food. Overall we are very happy with it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I would have liked to have the faucet make the sound of runnig water and a few more plates. Other than that my daughter loves the kitchen. She plays with it for long stretches of time.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter plays with this everyday. Even her 7 year old brother plays with this when she is "making" things in her kitchen. They take turns cooking and serving food to whoever happens to be around. A great investment. I love the compact size--it does not overtake a room, but has every feature you would look for a in a kitchen. Highly recommended despite how long it took to put together with 3 people working on it. The electronic pieces were hard to get in to the correct position, but once they were installed, worked great. [...]

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Purchased this for my grandson who is almost two years. He thoroughly loves it and, according to mom and dad, it's his favorite thing and keeps him well entertained.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Santa brought this to our 18 month old daughter. She had seen another brand of play kitchen in a store but we didn't like the quality. This one is much better quality. She was so excited on Christmas morning and every day since. She plays with it constantly. The only drawback was that the first two or three nights after Christmas she would get up in the middle of the night to play in her kitchen! She is so happy every morning when she makes breakfast while her dad cooks our breakfast! She wants to wear her apron and makes him wear his too! I was afraid this model might be too small but it is just right. It is ok for her now and will grow with her. There is plenty to do. The sounds and lights when cooking are really great too. Thank you Step2!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My kids really enjoy playing with this kitchen. It's just right for my almost 5yr old & going on three year old to use and share. I'd suggest a different layout or larger kitchen for group play, but this one fit beautifully in our playroom. Assembly took longer than we thought (or maybe we were tired) and it seemed like an endless amount of screws, but the end result was a sturdy, attractive creative play item I expect we'll get a lot of use out of...

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I ordered this for my 2 1/2 year old grandson. He loves playing with it. My daughter wanted to get him a kitchen because he likes to play with her kitchen items and he likes to watch and help her cook, but she wanted the kitchen to be made in the USA. [...]Thank you

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen is the perfect size for small spaces, but still has everything your little one could want to play with.

The assembly instructions were clear, but with one minor problem: some of the pre-drilled holes weren't actually pre-drilled, which slowed down the process.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Enjoyed the kitchen from the first moment. Great hands on play. Compact for smaller spaces.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 3 y/o daughter is delighted with this kitchen. It has all of the kitchen features without being too large so it is a good choice for those with limited space. The drawers and baskets are nice for storing her kitchen toys. The electronic pieces worked very well.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Kitchen is wonderful. My 17 month old son loves to pretend he is cooking dinner with me. It makes it so much easier. And the design & colors fit in with my kitchen, it doesn't take up a lot of space. [...] Very durable - believe it will last for years.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is a very well constucted kitchen. Our daughter loves it. I have no complaints. The stove top even sounds like things are cooking on it. It is also a good size. We were looking for something with a reasonable size and price that was durable and this fits it all.[...] I would and have highly recommended this kitchen to everyone with small kids boys and girls alike.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 18-month-old just got this for Christmas and it's definitely one of his favorite presents! It is just his size right now because he has no siblings, but he will need a bigger one in another year or two. I love that the burner actually makes realistic sounds! My main drawback was that most products we get from step2 never come with predrilled holes, so it takes a bit longer to setup than it should. You will also have to buy play food and more accessories. Overall though, a great first kitchen for the price!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Any toy that can keep my daughters occupied is well worth its weight in gold. I have two very active little girls who love to have creative play. This toy allows them to be creative and also have fun at the same time. I absolutely love it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This was a Christmas present to our 18 month old daughter and she loves it! Not much keeps her interest, as she is always on the go, but this kitchen occupies her. She loves the working range sounds and pulling out the baskets. And it's a very sturdy built kitchen.

The kids absolutely love their new kitchen. My grandson has called me twice to tell me how much he loves it. He's 3 1/2.

It is very compact,yet, it has all the essentials of a play kitchen. It does not add too much clutter to our child's playroom.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

The size is perfect for our smaller home!! Big enough for the two children to play with but fits nicely in the toy room!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We got this kitchen for our 3 and 1 yr old for christmas 2007 after realizing how much our oldest son liked to "help" in the kitchen (and the younger one likes to play with plastic kitchen utensils (spatulas spoons etc). We have only had the kitchen up a few days but it is already a hit with the kids. They enjoy cooking for us and all the family that was here over the holidays. This age is really into imaginative play, so it is lots of fun! (the sizzling and boiling sounds are fun!)

We also like that Step 2 is for the most part made in the USA (the utensils and phone were not) and that it was not made of flimsy particle board and did not have any metal hinges. We looked at many kitchens and my husband roughed the store displays up (just as our sons would) before deciding on this brand. I also like that this kitchen is gender neutral ~ (not overly feminine,) like some I saw on the market, and it is not too big for our small living space.

One thing that is negative from an assembly point but that is a positive from a durability point, is the lack of predrilled screw holes~ be sure to have a drill on hand ~ lack of holes ensure a perfect line up of holes and a snugness of screws being used, but it would have been hard for me to put it together alone~ together (with a drill ) assembly took about 45 min.

Lastly, it was cool that it came with 2 plates, bowls, sporks, knives, cups and shaker set, but it would have been nice to have a small food set included, but for the price i can't complain too much.

I think it will provide a lot of entertainment for the next few years as it is durable and fun.

My 2 year old daughter received this kitchen from Santa Claus and plays with it all the time. She loves to cook and she thinks she is being a big helper!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This kitchen was a christmas present for my 2 year old daughter. For Santa, it was a bit time consuming to assemble - easy assembly with good instructions, just a lot of parts to put together. It is very cute and not an eyesore in our living room. My daughter loves the phone (and it's sound effects) and I get a kick out of the cooking sounds that the pot and pan trigger when set on the burner.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Overall, a great Christmas present for my 16 month old daughter, but was disapointed to find some scratches on pieces when we opened box to assemble and wish there were more sounds like on the facet, microwave, or frigde.

No screw holes. Very hard to put together w/o electric tools.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This product is worth every penny! And is great for my 20 month old daughter. Plus its a toy she can grow with. The only thing was that it didnt come with many accessories, or any play food. But other than that we love it!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Some of the pieces were warped and did not fit together exactly. For example, the countertop, the white decorative piece and shelf were all bent or warped and did not fit smoothly.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this toy for our 18 month old son and he loves it. He has been playing with it almost non stop. He loves all the drawers and cabinets, and the other places to store things (we finally found the TV remote control in the refrigerator). He especially likes the sounds when you "boil" or "fry" something. The kitchen is very well made and looks nice. It was also easy to assemble. Very high quality toy.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

There are so many gadgets that came with the kitchen. It was a joy to play with it with my son. He loved it! I definately recommend having a power screwdriver when assembling the kitchen though. With a regular screwdriver hurts. I forsee many hours of imaginitive play for my son and our family. Plus who doesn't love to be a kid again.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Great product. Easy to assemble, took about 45 minutes....harest part was making sure that the decals were on straight! My daughter loves playing with it and all the things that open and close (ie. doors and drawers)

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

The kitchen is on the difficult side to put together, not really hard but time consuming. We just gave it to our daughter this morning. She is almost 2 and has not stopped playing with it all day! I was a bit disappointed to find that the phone it came with is made in China.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

quality was poor. pieces were warped and dirty making assembly difficult and messy. Product was satisfactory once cleaned up and assembled. Overall not a good experience

The Custom Kitchen is very cute and is a perfect size for my 2 year old ... this kitchen comes with pots, pans, dishes and utensils which are great and the kitchen has places to store all this stuff. I would recommend this kitchen.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

ok, so i checked out many many reviews on kitchens before deciding to purchase this kitchen for my son who will be 3 soon. one review i read stated they were missing a part(s). we purchased our kitchen early to be sure we had it in plenty of time for Christmas. I'm glad we did. My husband started putting the kitchen together (easy assembly) and it was missing a part sure enough. We contacted Step2, they sent the part out. It arrived in 6 days like they stated. No problems. So then my hubby continued putting it together only to find the "burner" does not work. So, we can live with it not making "real cooking sounds" for now. we were on hold for over an hour with customer service only to call in again from another line because they stated to keep holding on...we are busy etc. when we called from our cell phone, we got a message they were closed! WHAT!! we have been on hold because you stated to stay on hold that calls will be answered in order they are received. DON'T BELIEVE IT.
We are pleased with the kitchen so far despite the difficulties. My son has not played with it because it is a Christmas gift. It's very cute, and lots of things for him to do. He will love it. I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO OPEN IT UP AND PUT IT TOGETHER EARLY TO VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE THERE, AND WORKING PROPERLY. you would not want your little one disappointed Christmas morning with a broken kitchen.
We still would recommend the kitchen, just be pro active.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My granddaughter has not seen it yet...waiting for Santa to come...but our review is "fantastic"

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I put this together by myself with just a screwdriver. I knew when I bought this that some of the holes were not predrilled and I have seen some purchaser comments that stated that Step 2 does not drill all of the holes so that people do not get the product home and then some of the holes do not line up properly. So, it was just me and my screwdriver. It took about 2 hours to put together from start to finish (including putting stickers on). It was difficult to muscle some of those screws through 2 and 3 layers of plastic, but I didn't really mind. My hand was sore the next day, though. I knew beforehand that I would have to put the stickers on because I had read other reviews before purchasing. I didn't mind, though. I would rather put them on myself than receive a product with damaged or crooked stickers. The stickers were of a good material that could be pulled back up and stuck back on if you didn't get it right the first time and air bubbles were easy to push out. I like that this playset is more compact than other sets out there and the price of this one is just right. Other sets that are cheaper are not as good of quality as these Step 2 products and I could not afford to get one of the bigger Step 2 kitchens. I know my 4-year-old son will love this kitchen for Christmas and I'm sure it will get lots of use. I did order a play food set from Step 2 as well to go with his kitchen and the Step 2 accessory package with extra plates, cups, bowls, and utensils (even though I didn't need an extra set of salt and pepper shakers). This is a great kitchen for those who want a kitchen that is decently priced compared to others and that is small enough to intrude on kitchen or living room space. Those who purchase any Step 2 kitchen playset should be ready to assemble it yourself and use a power drill (being careful not to poke through the plastic) to assemble the body of the kitchen. I really like the little stove that makes noises and I'm sure my son will too. I'll probably get caught playing with it sometimes too.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We have three set of twins in our family. My husband and I have bought two different kitchens for our siblings and their children.

My 2 y/o son absolutely loves this! Actually, he was the one who wanted it. He loves "making" coffee and meals for mommy and daddy.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I purchased this kitchen as a christmas gift for my son who is 2. I built it ahead of time so when he opens it, its ready to play. I was ready to spare 3 hours to asemble it,It actually took about an hour and a half I did'nt have help (Im a female btw)and used 2 different sized philps screw drivers. It was'nt bad at all, some places had no holes so i had to basically create holes myself but they werent that bad or hard to do, only bad thing is the little burner made no noises, which was the main reason i got this one in the first place. I live in a studio apartment and this doesnt take much space. But in general very attractive, sturdy item. Im 100percent sure my son would lovee it..

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Definitly a great toy! Encourages imaganitive play. The only negative is that there are many stickers that look like buttons and my grandson kept pushing an turning but they were just pictures so they did not really work. Aside from that he absolutely loves this kitchen!!!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My 2 year old LOVES this kitchen. She plays with it on and off all day and finds many uses for it. I added a box of play food and an apron and chef hat and she was good to go! Great buy!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My Grandchild totally enjoys the life like sounds when pretending to cook. Believe it or not the window is his favorite, always saying it's morning time while looking at it. The size of the appliances are just right. It is well build and takes up very little room. I am totally satisfied with this product and will be purchasing more of your items.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I bought this product for my daughter and we both really enjoy playing with it, but... assembly was a nightmare. All the pieces were included and in great condition, but there were no screw holes ANYWHERE. I had to break out the power drill for this one. The funny thing is, I'd recommend this to anyone.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Our daughter loves to pretend she's cooking and loves opening and closing all the doors. This is a great toy that she will be able to play with for a few years. The only thing that could be better would be more sounds (like the microwave dinging or the ice machine crunching).

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I bought this for my 2 1/2 yr.old son for Christmas. After shopping around and seeing the other kitchens that are out there, I decided on this one. It was very realistic and gender neutral and it has a lot of stuff to play with but it's not too big so it won't take up too much space. We have other Step2 products and they are all very durable and long lasting so we were sure this one would be too. After having my son constantly in my cupboards and using all of my cooking utensils and using his blocks as food, I thought it was time he had his own. I know he'll love it and I almost can't wait until Christmas for him to open it.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

nice & compact

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I have not yet opened the box, but I know that my son will love it. He loves the old play kitchen at his grandma's house. I love the cute design to match my home and the size is perfect for one child and limited space. Some have complained about the price and lack of a ton of accessories, but I thought the price was great. And we don't need a ton of accessories, because we have bought food and dishes prior to purchasing the kitchen. I do plan to purchase a couple of accessory sets, because I'm tired of him getting into my Pampered Chef Measuring cups and other gadgets. I know my son and I know this will be his favorite toy when he opens it on Christmas morning!

We got this item when my daughter was a year and a half old. She loved it then, and she still does at almost 4 years old. My son also loves to play with it and he's 6. This is one of their favorite things to play with. I bought some play food to go with it, and it just made it all that much better. I wouldn't trade this toy for anything. Hours upon hours of play and fun.

I bought this kitchen set for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She's three now, and it is still one of her favorite toys. When her friends come over, they play with the kitchen more than anything else. It is very durable and pretty easy to put together. My only complaint is that it didn't come with any pretend food. I think it should include at least a few items. Overall, I think this is a great product. I would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this kitchen for our 2-year old after a lot of research on the options out there. We felt this one was a good size and for the most part, it is. I wish I would have gotten the next bigger one however as it would have had more counter space and room for playing with friends. The design is pleasant and my husband put it together in about an hour. My only complaint is that the drawers do not have anything to prevent them from falling out so I spend each night picking up the drawers and their contents!

I would recommend this kitchen for all parents who's child wants one.This toy was my son's favourite birthday present and he loves to play with it so much.Because of its attractive design I do not mind having it in the living-room.
My husband put it together in 15 minutes.

I loved this kitchen when I saw it online. When we put it together it looked different then online, however it was the size everything is bigger in picture. It fits perfectly in our small family room and isnt to overwhelming. I did feel [$] for a play kitchen w/ just the basics is a little much.

My married children actually squabbled over who get to take home this wonderful kitchen from grandma's house, so I kept mine for when the kiddies visit, and I bought each household their own. Step 2 kitchens are strong, durable, easy to clean and the kids love the real cooking and hissing sounds. There aren't enough accessories though, so I purchased pots & baking sets too.

We bought this for my sons 2nd birthday and he loves it! Assembly required us to drill our own holes where holes should have been, but other then that was not too bad. The accesories are ok, nothing fantastic, although the "cell phone" is a BIG hit! Overall good product choice.

The kids are really enjoying the custom kitchen set. This was the perfect gift for my 3 year old. She is very active and is a hard sell on many toys but this has been a huge hit!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is a fun product. I bought it for my 2.5 year old and she likes it, but I wish I bought it sooner as she now prefers the real kitchen to the play kitchen. Maybe it's more of a group toy for interactive play.

Both my children enjoy playing with this. I would of liked a few more accessories. But what they did get they are thrilled with.

I got this for my 2 year old daughter for her birthday. She just loves it. We bought plastic food and more dishes. I bought this one because we are limited on space. But now I wish I would have gotten her alittle bigger one because we need to buy a cabinet now to put all the food and dishes. But overall it is so cute and it was a huge hit.

I looked at a lot of kitchens. I am glad I chose step 2

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My daughter got this kitchen for her 2nd birthday from her grandmother. She loves it and plays with it every day. Sometimes when we leave the house she kisses it goodbye! We chose this particular kitchen for several reasons: it received positive reviews, it has all of the major appliances (microwave, oven, fridge, drawers, veggie bin), and is still compact enough to fit in our small city row home living room. It was a bit of a pain to assemble, but I was more than willing to put in all of those screws to have such a sturdy toy. We have only had it for a couple of weeks, but I can imagine that this kitchen will last for years. Minor nuisances I have found with the kitchen are: the drawer on the right hand side comes all the way out, and my daughter does not have the skills to put it back in, so we have to do it for her repeatedly; the salt and pepper shakers are open on the bottom, so my daughter thinks they are cups; and there are not enough accessories included with the kitchen. We had to go out and buy pretend food, additional pots and pans, and pretend silverware for her to really be able to play with the kitchen. The coolest thing about the kitchen is the boiling and sizzling sounds that the pot and pan make on the burner. I thought that might be annoying, but even I like playing with that. All in all, a great kitchen. My daughter loves it, and we are very happy with it as well.

We saw an older version and loved all of the sounds. We bought it because of the realistic sounds and knew our granddaughter would love them. When we received, it only had the phone and burner with sounds. Really disappointed. The older version much, much better!!

Our daughter (20 months) loved her new kitchen. It keeps her busy. It has everything you need, and its not to big, great for small places. She loves the sounds! The only thing it could use, is the sound of water running.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

It wasnt a difficult assembly-- the directions are pretty clear-- the problem was that the holes that the screws were to be put into were not properly drilled holes when sent to us-- so we had to drill into the plastic ourselves. (The holes were suppose to be there, and you just insert the screw-- but there were no holes!). I also dont understand why we have to adhere the stickers to the set ourselves-- the assembled item would fit into a box to be shipped- so the fact that we have to put it together is a nusiance. Otherwise-- great product-- my daughter (2yrs) loves it and uses it when I am cooking dinner.

We love this kitchen. I wanted one that didn't have bright, bold colors as I wanted it to blend in with the rest of the house. This size is perfect. We bought it for my daughter when she turned 2, she is now almost 4 and loves it more now than before.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

This is the cutest Kitchen set I have seen! It was very easy for my husband to put together. I promise your little one will love it! I even catch myself playing with it from time to time.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

Great kitchen set. I need something that would be fun for the kids but, not take up to much space.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

wonderful kitchen, love it! Very realistic and fun to play with. Perfect size for growing toddlers.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We bought this for my almost 16 months old daughter. She loves it and so does her brothers (5 & 3). She loves opening the doors and drawers. Her favorite part is the pan frying sound and the water boiling sound.

I Love this product.My two year old recieved this for easter he loves it.He's always trying to help me in the kitchen so I purchased this one.He plays with it everyday and when he has company his friends play to.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

We love the kitchen, it is absolutely great! Our only complaint is that you need at least a powerdrill for assembly. Several holes for screws and cabinet doors were either missing or too small. Knowing that, assembly is easy and the product is fabulous.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

My little girl spends hours playing with this kitchen! She loves the realistic microwave oven and the sounds that the stovetop makes.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen:

I gave this kitchen and the food accessory kit as a birthday gift to my 1 yr. old niece. She got about 40 presents that day and her favorite was the kitchen. She preferred it over everything else. Because of its high quality and size, she will probably play with it until she is about 8 or 9 years old. I am thrilled with step2 and highly recommend this item.
