KidKraft Prairie Kitchen

A super cute kitchen that falls apart constantly
We ordered this kitchen or our almost two year old for Christmas but it gets used by a 6, 3 and 2 year old. We chose this model because of how cute it was and that the company replaces broken items free of charge. In these last seven months we have had to order and replace one of the pink handles twice, the oven rack wall and a door. They have broken the sink so it no longer snaps in place, but they love to carry it around. One of the oven knobs has never clicked when turned, but the kids don't care.

It seems like our choice to go with a company that replaces the parts free of charge has been a good one, but I must say that the particle wood that these are mostly made out of are prone to wearing quickly where screws and do dads are connected. Once the screw comes loose you have to get the whole section of wood replaced because the hole is stripped. It took quite a while to put together and so we have left the door off and haven't yet fixed the broken panel inside the oven until we have the time to take it completely apart and rebuild. It is getting annoying, but the kids still love it.

Very cute
It looked just like I expected after reading reviews and looking at the 360 pics on-line. Took my husband only a little over 1 hour to build, but he uses tools everyday for work so we didn't expect it to take as long as some had reported in reviews. My 3 year old daughter likes it a lot and makes food for us quite often. It is a good size for her and seems to be made quite durable. Plan for her to use this for at least a few years. My 6-year old son likes to pretend cook and he has used it occasionally too.

Good value
I bought this for 0 with free shipping. there is nothing out there that compares to it at that price. here is my take on some of the popular comments from other reviews:

Assembly time: Directions are clear, pieces are coded to correspond with the directions. all you need is a screwdriver, allen wrench & another wrench come with it. Someone with an average ability to assemble things similar to this should plan on 2 hours +/- and just follow the instructions but I would not be intimidated by the assembly time comments. I would think that any of these toy wood kitchens require a good bit of assembly and the instructions are well done. If you consider yourself assembly required impaired, you may want to get some help.

the sink is plastic but mine has clips that require you to reach underneath it from both sides to get it out. i.e. if your sink comes out easily, the clips must be broken.

cream vs. white. I would say somewhere inbetween. personally, the shade of white was not something I gave too much thought too.

Real wood. I don't think it's particle board, it seems like some sort of high grade plywood. Did you expect solid oak? it seems to be of good quality in my opinion considering the price.

If you are looking for gender neutral you can paint the pink trim handles with black spray paint as I did.

Perfect little kitchen
I purchased this kitchen for my granddaughters, ages 3 and 1 for Christmas. I did not put it together but my daughter-in-law did. She said it was pretty time consuming but when she was done she said it was well worth it. She thought the quality was excellent. The girls play with it every day. The size it just right for them.

Absolutely adorable!
I bought the pastel version of this kitchen (item 53167) and it's absolutely adorable. My DD is 3 and this is pretty perfect for her right now. I can see it lasting maybe another couple of years or so. It doesn't come with a refrigerator, microwave or much storage that many kitchens have these days, but it's so cute that I don't care :). My daughter loves it and has been playing with it constantly. It took my Dh close to 2 hours to put together but he said it was easy. A couple of screws broke off in the plastic oven handle so we had to order another one of those, but other than that everything was packaged wonderfully and there wasn't any damage. We bought it for ninety-five dollars shipped, so the price was also right!
