If your child wants to have a kitchen of their own, and you would like to get them into cooking and baking, this is a good option.It has held up to every door being opened and slammed shut a hundred times already. The printing is clean. It's really a nice piece of furniture that happens to be shaped like a kitchen.The only downsides are: A) that it takes a long time to construct. Gather the appropriate tools. Employ the help of your spouse, older child, or friend. Have a nice large area to work in. Get some short stools or pull the ottoman over cause it's going to be about an hour of time, or more.
