Step2 LifeStyle Custom Kitchen 4.7 5 2452 2758
Happy, happy, joy, joy This is definitely the best deal out there! I spent so much time looking for a play kitchen for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I was on every website and even visited several stores to look at them. I analyzed every one of them from $39.00 to $239.00 and this one is definitely the winner! The other kitchens did not come close when comparing prices. The only kitchen that came close in comparison (as far as looks go) was double the price. There was no sense in paying double for my little girl to have approximately 6 more inches of space when it only contained another little cabinet, a larger silverware drawer, and a couple more accessories. I knew we could buy additional accessories and get food and all for another $15.00. We absolutely love this kitchen! It is extremely durable, adorable, and has plenty of room for little dishes and food. The pans in the Betty Crocker play set with food fit perfectly in it. Since it was so much cheaper than the other kitchens we could afford to buy the grocery cart and the cash register too. My little girl loves this and it keeps her entertained for hours. She cooks for her dolls and takes them grocery shopping in her cart. It was also easy to assemble. It would be really nice if the faucet made running water noise but it doesn't. However, it does have a pot that makes boiling noises, a pan that makes frying noises, and a telephone that rings and makes other noises. I don't know why the website says 6 "AA" batteries when it only takes 2"AA" and 2 "AAA" and even says so on the box. Don't waste your time looking for a better deal because I'm confident that you won't find it and your little one will love this just as much as he or she would if you spent double the price. Especially if you buy the extra food, the cart, and the cash register you will get so much more for your money and still won't spend as much as if you bought a more expensive kitchen. Plus it won't take up as much space in your house. 11/23/2007
Christmas Gift 2009 We didn't realize that the assembly would take about 2 hrs. My husband assembled this Christmas Eve night so it would be ready for Christmas Day for them to enjoy as a gift. We also didn't realize that power tools would be needed (i.e. our electric screw driver was put to goo use!) It was tough getting some screws in and because of this one punctured the sink, oops. Other wise this was an awesome buy! Worth the money and time. Our girls love this very much. The sounds are great and with a purchase of food, it is just amazing. 01/02/2010
Electronic Info In doing research I called Step2 and found out that this particular "maroon" version does NOT come with electronic keypads for the oven and microwave but can be purchased through the manufacturer for a few bucks (they do come on the green version). It does have the burner that makes noise though. So my plan is to buy this cherry one that I love and then transplant the electronic keypads onto it as I put it together, instead of the boring decal pieces. Hope this info helps someone like me who wishes this kitchen would do more! 10/14/2009
Fun! Fun! Fun! We bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She LOVES it and we've been "cooking" non-stop for days. I saw this same product on other websites for nearly double the price. I'm glad I searched Wal-Mart.com before I paid much more. It was easy to put together, but be careful if you use a power screwdriver. It is easy to turn the screws too far and accidentally push through the plastic. 11/15/2007
