Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an amazing play kitchen. On ordering; swift delivery, I bought on prime day for about $80(great price). On building; if you are like me you order it months before Christmas and plan On not putting it together until Christmas Eve make sure you go through it and count the pieces at the very least to decrease chance of broken or missing parts and if you do have some you can get a replacement part or kitchen before it’s too late. I had no issues with my set. IMPORTANT TIPS; Listen to the tips on these reviews, they all hold true. Plan on spending an extra hour or two putting together ( my husband took extra long because he did not listen to all the tips I listed below), pay attention to white head screws being on the outside, keep screws a little loose and then tighten everything one all put together, do NOT use a drill ( to decrease likelihood of striped holes or broken plastic peices), leave the knobs on faucet loose so they are turnable for your kids and won’t break off. The perks of this kitchen: the ice cube maker makes sounds and lights up, the knobs are all turnable on the oven and click, the knobs on the faucet turn, the burners light up and make noise. What my kid thinks; SHE LOVES IT! She was saying “ahhh, ohh, yay” for hours on Christmas. She loves the phone also. Fun side ideas; I did some custom finishes on mine which helped to personalize it and make it look cute in our living room instead of a big toy isoar. I sanded, primed and spray painted all the handles, knobs and faucets gold. I bought touch lights on amazon (they have dimmers and timers on them with the help of a remote). I bought car headlight tape and taped over two so the oven has a red glow to it. I replaced the cheveron curtain with a fun Nate Burkus Fabric curtain and made a matching dish towel. I added 2 shelves ( pencil/utinsil) holders from the dollar store to the door for added storage. I added a command hook by the phone to hang her apron and chef’s hat. I bought on amazon the peel and stick subway tile to the back splash, and covered the counters with peel and stick marble contact paper to give it a little lore refined look. Buy storage containers for the cabinets. It makes parent lives soo much easier . I bought a 3 tier Mikasa basket off amazon also. I bought little gold baskets and a pencil cup for additional stylish storage ( also bought on amazon). Remember when buying containers for inside cabinets it’s very shallow so don’t get storage baskets too deep. Ending note; Take a look at my pictures to see what I did to customize. This is your chance creative parents to make your dream kitchen without breaking the bank. I’m jealous of my kid ha ha. Amazon did not disappoint with customer service and price and kidkraft delivered on quality given the price.
