We have had this toy kitchen since around 2009. It's still in incredibly good condition after 3 children have played with it and as we get it cleaned up to pass on to another family. This is a hardy play kitchen, built to stand the test of real world exploratory play, creative play and role play. It's a gorgeous, solid wooden item of play equipment for the home or play setting. With many other toy kitchens on the market, this is a high quality investment buy that represents great value for money in the long term. It's a great size for toddlers. The moving knobs make a satisfying clicking noise and the sink is a good size for toy pots and pans. I'm a big fan. We bought this from a lovely toy shop in Bath (because online shopping wasn't something I did in 2009!) but I'd recommend this kitchen for anyone with young children. Thank you for bringing so much joy to our life as a family little kitchen!
