KidKraft Uptown Espresso Wooden Play Kitchen with Play Phone, Chalkboard & Towel Rack, Espresso

I LOVE this kitchen set. It goes well with our decor and it's really nice looking. The only down side to this set is that it's a pain in the butt to put together. It really took a few hours to put this together and came with SO MANY SCREWS! But I still think it was worth all the time and effort to put it together. My toddler loves this toy and I can see this getting many many hours of use over the years to come. ** UPDATE AS OF 11/20/2013 ** There is a "ice maker" that is part of the fridge that CONSTANTLY comes loose. As far as I can tell, there is no way to secure it to the fridge door. It's a plastic part that has 4 dowels in the back that pops into 4 holes on the fridge. There are no screws, no nothing to secure it other than the dowels in the holes. My 17 month old bangs the fridge door and inevitably, the ice maker part falls out. It's not a terrible issue and I still love the kitchen (as does my toddler) so I'm not about to knock off stars for it since crazy glue should be able to resolve the issue ... but it's worth mentioning. ** UPDATE AS OF 4/8/2014 ** This kitchen is taller and bigger than the "vintage style" kidkraft kitchen. I mention this because my kid is tall, but she has to tippy toe to open the microwave door on the top. At her friends house, she can open the microwave quite easily. So if you have a particularly tall child, or would like longer use out of your toy kitchen, this is the one to purchase since it's TALLER AND BIGGER than the other ones by KidKraft. Worth mentioning if it helps other parents make a decision on one or the other.

I absolutely LOVE this kitchen!! I did very thorough research prior to this purchase, trying to find my daughters the perfect play kitchen. I am very happy with my results with this chosen kitchen!! We had a plastic Fisherprice kitchen before but my almost three year old was growing out of it and needed something with more room to store her food and more realistic looking. This is PERFECT! I do want to say though it does take a pretty hefty time assembling BUT, it is WELL WORTH IT! It took my husband and I about 5 hours to put together but, that is because we were interrupted a few times by our two daughters and we also wanted to take our time and put it together as perfect as possible. This kitchen is the best kitchen I have come across and for a decent price for how well it is made! It is very sturdy and looks so adorable in our living room, it looks very realistic. It is very roomy, so your children will have plenty of room to store their food and kitchen essentials! My daughters love it! They play with it every day! The height is perfect for my almost three year old daughter and my one year old has no problem either Cheffing' it up in the kitchen [she can't reach the shelf above the microwave but, that just gives her something to explore when she gets a bit taller!] I can see them having this kitchen for years to come with how well the construction is made and also the height of the kitchen is tall enough for them to grow into as well. I am very satisfied with my purchase and look forward to purchasing more products for my two girls from Kidkraft. BEST KITCHEN! STURDY! REALISTIC! LOTS OF ROOM!

I spent a lot of time looking around for a kitchen to buy for my 3 year old daughter. I also have a 9 month old son who will eventually play with this as well, so there were a few things that were extremely important to me in finding the right kitchen: 1. Size. Something substantial enough that they wouldn't grow out of too quickly. Height as well as ability for multiple kids to play was critical. Also needed enough space to actually "play". A lot of the kitchens I saw were small with some burners and a sink but no flat area to "cut" vegetables or place items. 2. Storage. With all of the stuff that comes along with a toy kitchen, it was critical to find something with ample storage. Many kitchens had a lot of little drawers and spaces, but nothing that could even fit the Melissa & Doug cookie set (I read in another review that the toy fit easily in the oven) 3. Gender neutral. Not a deal breaker, but would be nice to have something my son could play with that wasn't pink. 4. Price. Again, not a deal breaker, but who wants to overspend? Finally, after comparing and looking at the KidKraft Big Kitchen (too pink), KidKraft Vintage Kitchen (way too small), Pottery Barn kitchen (too expensive and too many pieces), KidKraft Grand Gourmet Corner Kitchen (too many small drawers) &Melissa & Doug Classic Kitchen (not bad, was a close second to my purchase, but my husband didn't like the colors) among a few others, we finally chose this one. First, the assembly. As noted by other reviewers, it's not hard to put together, but is time consuming and I would recommend two adults. Many of the steps could be completed simultaneously if you had 2 screwdrivers and 2 people. Even so, it took us over 2 hours to finish it. The parts mostly aligned with one or two tight squeezes. All of the parts arrived undamaged, although there is a small plastic piece that goes under the knobs that enables the knob to make a clicking noise when you turn it... two of mine broke while installing. I will be calling them for replacement parts. I understand their customer service is great. Make sure not to throw away the instructions for calling customer service that is in the box - it includes a batch number that you will need. The completed product looks beautiful. It is the small details that makes this so great. The chalkboard on the fridge, the towel holder off of the side and the phone. My daughter had a play date the next day with 3 of her preschool friends all banging the kitchen about and it seemed to hold up just fine. Only time will tell how well the product holds up over the long term, but so far I've been happy with the product. The price point was an added bonus!

I snatched up this kitchen when I saw it on sale. It had been on my radar for a while as a potential birthday gift for my daughter. My husband and I built it last night and it came out beautiful, but was a headache to set up. Some of the pieces did not match up such as the latch for the microwave door and my husband had to drill new holes instead of using the prefabricated holes in order to make the door latches line up when closed (we could have asked for another door but it would have halted further assembly and would take up to 5 days to arrive). There was also 2 sets of screws missing, but I called the company this morning and they are shipping out the missing parts free of charge. I was quite impressed that they answered after the first ring. I suspect missing parts are a common occurrence as they had a whole sheet come with the product detailing how to contact them for missing parts. Anyway, the set up was a pain and made for a long profanity filled night. We have assembled many other toys and furniture ourselves before but this product was was full of assembly issues. Some of the directions did not make sense in terms of the order they want you to put the pieces in place. For example, the instructions did not tell you to slide the backing for the refrigerator in place untill after everything was screwed in tight. This resulted in us having to unscrew certain screws to loosen it up in order to fit the piece in and then screw everything back. The biggest headache was that assembly requires you to screw in a lot of the parts upside down blindly and with some of the last portions of set up the screw driver does not even fit in to small space to tighten things in so we had to improvise and use the drill portion of our swiss army knife. Overall, it took 3.5 hours to set up. They shipped everything in a compact box. All the knobs and parts that stick out had to be individually screwed in. Think Ikea assembly time times 10. It is a beatiful product and my daughters will get a lot of use out of it. Compact but with enough storage for tons of playfood and cookware. My daughter is 2 years old and 70% percentile for height and can reach all the knobs and access all the doors (which do stick a little but probably will loosen after a while). There is enough counter and room space for multiple children and will probably last them till age 8-9 or whenever they get tired of pretend play. The design is aesthetically pleasing (looks more modern than my real kitchen) and can fit into any decor. I am pleased, but did not enjoy the set up. Note that they will only cover replacements 90 days from purchase and there are no other warranties. Make sure you set it up soon after you get it so you know if you'll need replacement parts and don't throw out the sheet with the customer service number and item batch number.

This play kitchen is awesome! I spent DAYS researching and reading reviews for play kitchens before settling on this one. I had narrowed my search down to either this one or the smaller KidKraft kitchen, but finally caught a good price for this one and went for it. After purchasing it, receiving it and assembling it, I ran into the smaller version in a store. Boy was it small! I have a tall 2.5 year old, and I don't think he would've fit at that other kitchen for much longer. SO pleased that we went with the larger kitchen for a little more money. This kitchen has tons of storage space for all those tiny items you buy to go along with it. That was the main reason we chose this kitchen. The plastic options don't have much for storage, and I don't know about other parents out there, but we already have enough toys laying around the house. I don't need all the small plastic food and utensils strung about the house either. Additionally, this kitchen is so much more realistic and sturdy. My son is very particular and LOVES when his toys completely mimic adult items, like tools, vacuum cleaners, brooms, tractors, trucks. You name it, he wants it to be like the real thing! So this kitchen is great. It's not an eyesore and it looks a lot more like Mommy & Daddy's kitchen. The quality is great. I fear one of those plastic kitchens would only take a couple years of toddler abuse before needing to be tossed. This kitchen, however, will likely be passed down to grandchildren or kept around for grandchildren someday. As other reviewers have noted, it does take a long time to assemble. My husband and I tackled it in about 2-3 hours one evening after the boys were in bed, and we had no issues. We had one problem with a piece - the 2 pieces that hold the towel bar were not drilled correctly so we weren't able to attach it. Very minor annoyance, and I'm sure if we contacted KidKraft they would send replacement pieces out immediately (as they've done for other reviewers). But, quite frankly, we added that to the to-do list and just never got around to it. Overall, very pleased with the purchase, quality, and design of this product. It's sturdy, large enough for several children, and will last and grow with them due to it's size and construction. Love it! I highly recommend! It's definitely worth the extra money!

Smart stuff: 1. the "oven" and "dishwasher" open horizontally like cupboards - while this is less accurate, it solves the problem of kids standing on the doors that in other sets open downward, and instantly are broken. 2. The set feels really solid, it's probably nicer than my actual kitchen cupboards and feels like it will last for a long time. I figured that "backsplash" was cardboard like so many flimsy bookshelves I've put together, but nope, it's actually wood - way better. 3. The colors are neutral - this is good both for multi-gender families as well as more aesthetically pleasing when plopped in amongst my other furniture. It's not the giant plastic eyesore so many other sets are. Not loving: 1. the door latches are a bit hard to maneuver for my 2 year old, despite her being VERY rough and physical, they are pretty stiff. Might loosen up over time, but some frustration when she can't open all the doors 2. Removable shelves in the two lower cabinets, not sure why but those shelves are the first thing she takes out. Wish they were just stationary, but this is a small gripe. 3. Putting it together took about 3 hours - it was definitely do-able, no individual task was that hard, I was able to do it myself with just the included materials + a power screwdriver, but I wasn't quite expecting that many steps. Was absolutely worth it though. Overall: We've had this put together for a few weeks now, and I love it. My just turned 2 year old is pretty tall for her age, but I can see this set lasting for years, and it works great for her now as well. It is streamlined enough to not be obnoxious, but still has all the bells and whistles (without anything that makes bell or whistle noises, YAY! The oven dials do click when turned, but there aren't any other sound effects, even the phone is just a block of wood. I find that refreshing after so many noisy flashing toys). The sink is her favorite part, and she yanks on the "spout" frequently but it is well made and surviving. I like how sturdy it is - unlike the plastic, I'm not worried she will tip it over, fall through it, or rip out the screws. This piece is basically furniture. It has a LOT of storage, so clean up is easy - all the play food and dishes can be stored inside the refridgerator and dishwasher without being seen. I also like that it is fairly neutral - both gender neutral and just design neutral. It is a large toy, but doesn't overwhelm my space with loud colors or garish finishes. It actually "matches" the armoire next to it quite well :) Highly recommended

I gave this kitchen a 5 star review because now that it's built, it looks adorable and my 2 year old and 7 year old, absolutely love it. I will caution that a friend of our family put it together, and he noticed some pieces had been drilled upside down, and at least 3 major wood pieces did not fit. Given his skill level in carpentry, however (he builds custom wood projects for others, as a side business), he was easily able to disassemble the factory components, line things up correctly and he had to drill some new holes. He also noted that 2 of the external brown colored screws were not included, so, he used silver ones. It looks alright to us. He also cautioned that the top piece that goes along the top of the microwave, is not flush with the back of the unit, another factory error that required his ingenuity to get past. So if this is a Christmas surprise, do not wait until Christmas Eve to build it!! It took him 4 hours and 10 minutes (including about 15 minutes of that timeframe to eat dinner with our family - it was the least we could do, right?!) ... Even if you think you're pretty skilled, I'm certain you'll find this kitchen a challenge to assemble. The only difference I noticed from the picture, is the phone. We received a wooden one that appears "digital" like a cell phone. It doesn't have large numbers like the one shown. That was a little disappointing, because my 2 year old is learning to recognize written numbers. Oh well. So glad this was on sale, I wouldn't pay over $112 for this kitchen. Some wood pieces were scratched too, but a brown sharpie marker fixed it. Honestly, the little dings, and bumps along the way trying to assemble it don't really matter once it's together. It still looks really cute and my girls love it, so 5 stars it is. I'm also ok with it in our family room because it's not an eye sore like some of the other toy kitchens out there. It's also compact and doesn't take up too much space, but still has an oven large enough for them to put toy cookie trays, etc., inside, for more realistic dramatic play. ... We bought the matching laundry unit with a washer/dryer, but that will have to be assembled at a later date. I peeked in the box though and it matches this kitchen perfectly! Both are "espresso".

My Kids LOVED this. Bought it for christmas and its now February. YES the reviews do not lie this sucker takes time to put together and the box is HEAVY (70 pounds?) and its chock full of Styrofoam to protect the wood. My suggestion for a time saver have you and a spouse or someone put it together, together. Pick a room with a lot of open floor space. lay the pieces out by number the bolt package is labeled and very organised. Even with me and my spouse it took us 2-3 hours. if your setting this up before hand and need to move it lift from the bottom of the entire kitchen to prevent breakage its strong but it doesn't hurt to be careful. this isnt much of a do it the night before deal but it can be if your okay with staying up late. the directions are pretty clear and understandable. so other then the giant setup lets get to how two 4 year old boys handle this. mine surprisingly very well the height of the kitchen is perfect the sink does come out but i havnt had the issue yet of them hiding in the "dishwasher" and standing in the sink. i have had them sit on it before but it held their weight for the most part. all the stove nobs click when you turn them i thought it was the coolest thing, the "towel rack" on the side is completely removable so if you have kids who play sword fight keep an eye on it and if any of the doors are slammed inward it CAN break the holders inside that keep the doors from doing inward to much we already had 1 break. all in all this is holding up beautifully and the stove fits most pots and pans no issue. Theres a shelf in the oven and dish washer that are completely removable if you need. all in all i would totally buy this again and recommend it to anyone who was looking for a durable kitchen that will last them for a good amount of time

Es una cocina supercompleta y preciosa, yo la compre para mis hijos de 5 y 4 años, juegan muchísimo con ella y se entretienen. Además queda muy bonita en la habitación, es robusta y con buenos acabados. El montaje nos llevó horas y es bastante tedioso a pesar de que las instrucciones son claras, muchas piezas.

A fantastic choice for toddlers and small children. It takes a while to put together so be prepared to spend quite a few hours on it but its well worth the effort. The build quality is excellent and is actually somewhat better than much of the "grown up" furniture we all spend a fortune on for our homes that falls to pieces within a year or two. Our little girl absolutely loves it and has played with little else since Christmas. I can't really think of any down sides. Its exactly what you expect it to be, with the benefit of being of much better build quality than most other kids toys. You always worry that with this kind of build yourself flat pack furniture that parts will be missing but everything was present and they actually include a small selection of additional spare parts too. I have no idea how other similar kitchens compare to this one, but we're very pleased with it and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

We ordered this despite all the reviews expressing concerns about the assembly. We made sure we had a few days to work through the assembly process. It arrived and the number of steps and pieces was initially quite daunting......but. It went well and only took about two and a half hours. Put a baseball game on and got to it. No issues, just follow the steps without trying to skip ahead. The finished product is an excellent little kitchen. Our grandson loved it immediately and played for an hour during his party. So I recommend it. Seems to be good quality and came with some extra parts in the event that something snaps which is inevitable.

Très jolie résultat par contre ce n'est pas facile de la monter tout seule ça m'a pris 7heure surtout avec mes enfants qui bougent entoure de moi 🫠 Sinon ça mérite.

esta cocina esta hermosa. buen tamaño y solida. Mis nietoa tienen hasta 5 años y aiguen jugando con ella creo que seguiran jugando con ella. yo les he comorado trastes y comida de juguete y se entretienen muchisimo
