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!!!!
from Bothell, WA on 9/17/2008
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.

my daughter is 19 months and loves this kitchen. We are so happy we purchased it. She plays with it everyday for hours. It is very realistic.
from Midlothian Virginia on 9/9/2008
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!
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.
She loves to play with her pots and pans and has stopped getting into our kitchen cabinets as much
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.
from Nyack, NY on 8/4/2008
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.

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.

Four grandchildren, ages 1-5 go straight to this kitchen before any other toys in the playroom. Love all the sounds for interactive play.
from Jamesburg, NJ on 6/26/2008
bought to keep my twin boys occupied while I'm cooking. They love it. I would recommend this.

Purchased for our daughter for her second birthday. She LOVES it! The sounds made by the appliances are definitely her favorite. We love the compact size and feel it gives her and her friends plenty of play space. We are very pleased with our purchase.

The microwave door on mine does not attach [...] Not happy with this product at all.

from Nashville, TN on 5/29/2008
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!
from Goleat, ca on 5/19/2008
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.
from Virginia Beach on 5/11/2008
Excellent shape and size for small spaces. Great for girls and boys! Easy assembly, put together during short snap time.
from Vancouver, WA on 5/6/2008
I bought this kitchen for my preschool. My 1 year old loves it as does his 3 and 5 year old male cousins. It has been a hit with all of the children!
from Denver, Colorado on 5/4/2008
We gave this kitchen to our 2 year old, and she just loves it!! She plays with it all the time.
from Norhteast Ohio on 4/28/2008
I wanted to buy this, and I found it at a garage sale. I lucked out--big time. My girls could not wait to play with it. They are 1 and 2. This is kitchen set #3.
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.

from Brooklyn, NY on 4/22/2008
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.
from ocala, fl on 4/14/2008
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.
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!
from Virginia on 3/17/2008
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.
from Iowa on 3/4/2008
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.

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.
from Boston, MA on 1/23/2008
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!
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
from Radcliff, OH on 1/9/2008
I do wish there was food included with the play set.
from Atlanta, GA on 1/8/2008
The kitchen was easy to put together and keeps my 2 and 3 year old busy for hours!
from Great Falls, Montana on 1/8/2008
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.
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.
from Raleigh, NC on 1/8/2008
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.
from New Braunfels, TX on 1/7/2008
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.[...]
from Lewisburg Tn. on 1/7/2008
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.
from st. louis, MO on 1/7/2008
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.
from Bronx, NY on 1/7/2008
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.
from Cookeville, TN on 1/7/2008
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.
from Newark, DE on 1/7/2008
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!
from Madison, Ms on 1/6/2008
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.

from Spring Hill, FL on 1/6/2008
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.
from New York on 1/5/2008
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!
from Grand Rapids, MI on 1/5/2008
My son LOVES this product. [...] Would definitely buy directly from the Step2 site again.
from New York City on 1/5/2008
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.

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.
from Bronx, NY on 1/5/2008
My daughter really loves her new kitchen. She cooks in it at the same time I'm cooking.
from monroe,michigan on 1/5/2008
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.
from Calhoun, GA on 1/5/2008
We bought this kitchen for our two year old twins for Christmas and they love it. It keeps them busy fixing me meals!
from Hooksett, NH on 1/4/2008
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.
from PA on 1/4/2008
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!
from Westmont, Illinois on 1/4/2008
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.
from Hamburg, IA on 1/4/2008
up the price and include 1 set of batteries for eahc noise function, more accessories
from VA on 1/3/2008
this was a christmas gift to my daughter and she loves it. its the first time she has ever pretended to make pancakes!
from SRQ, FL on 1/3/2008
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!
from Tennessee on 1/3/2008
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!
from Stratford, Ct on 1/3/2008
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...
from Woodridge, IL on 1/3/2008
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.
from Lincolnton, NC on 1/2/2008
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.
from North Carolina on 1/2/2008
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. [...]
from Washington, DC on 1/2/2008
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.
from Silver City, NM on 1/1/2008
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
