I bought this kitchen for my 16 month old daughter. The product information states that it's not for children under 3 due to a choking risk, but the only small pieces are the two wooden mushrooms so I just removed those. It was fairly easy to put together and it didn't take too long (maybe a half hour). We don't have much space so I like the size, though it doesn't seem too sturdy if you have a really rough kid. The accessories that come with it are great!
