Alex Toys in My Kitchen Set Review
I got this kitchen for a steal elsewhere for half the price it's selling for here. That said, I think it's worth the price they're asking for on Amazon. I bought it today for my 3 year old son and he loves it...he's been "baking" me things since we got it out of the box and pulling it around the house.
Here's the things I like about it:
- Very easy assembly.
- Compact and portable. If you want it higher, just set it on a small table or plastic tote, otherwise the floor works fine.
- Made of wood, and it's well-contructed.
- Nice vibrant, unisex color scheme.
- Encourages imaginative play because it doesn't have the over-the-top sounds, bells and whistles of other play kitchens.
What I don't like:
- I'll have to hot glue on the top bar and sink spout, otherwise my son will surely keep pulling them out.
- I wish the faucet knobs didn't screw all the way out.
Definitely get this kitchen if you're looking for something cute, sturdy and good not girly.

toy kitchen, better for older toddler - couey2007 -
I purchased this for my 18 month old daughter to put in our RV. It would be a great product for an older toddler. My baby stood on it, sat on it, and really used it as a stepping stool. Due to this abuse she broke the door. I have now put it up until she is older. SHe did like taking the "sink" in and out. I love the size and that it is wooden.
falls apart after 5 times of use - sara siu - San Francisco, CA
I guess this is what I get for spending . I bought it for my daughter to play with something at my grandfather's. We only go about once a week and she's only played with it 5 times... the handle has come off and the sink faucet doesn't attach at any point so she keeps pulling it out. It doesn't keep her interest for very long.

I read the other reviews for this kitchen, and for the most part, they are correct. As soon as I opened the box, I figured I would glue the pieces down...no biggie for the hassle it will have saved if I didn't glue them. There was an odor when I first opened the box, but by the time I had the kitchen put together it was gone. As for the size...read the product description. I don't understand how people buy online, sight unseen, without reading the full description first. This is a small kitchen. Its great for my little one. I think I'm going to follow another reviewers advice and put a small felt over the magnets on the oven door. I do wish the product didn't need these few modifications but, again, its worth the extra fifteen minutes to not have to deal with the kitchen coming apart later.
