Battat Two n' One Wooden Kitchen Café with Dishes and Chalkboard, Toddler and Preschool Toys

We originally bought this as a more affordable play kitchen for our lake house, but it's honestly become one of my favorites. It has everything kids need for pretend play without a bunch of extra pieces that get lost or broken. I actually love that it doesn't have upper cabinets — nothing for kids to hang on or break, and it keeps everything more open and easy to play with. The double-sided design is also a huge plus, especially if you have multiple kids playing at once. It comes with a great variety of cups, utensils, and accessories, which makes it feel complete right out of the box. My kids play with this just as much as their more expensive kitchen at home.

This was beyond worth the clearance price I paid, online, around Christmas time. The instructions said a drill was needed but that's only if you want to attach it to a wall, the instructions were incorrect for a few screws but it wasn't hard to figure out. My son turned 1 last November and for December the next month Christmas present it was incredible for him. I had no idea it came with dishes but that just made the price even better. It's big, wooden and very sturdy.
