Customer Review: Good toy but there are Serious Shortcomings
Summary: 2 Stars
There are a ton of kitchens out there and they all have pluses and minuses. This one is great because it is durable, doesn't tip over easily, and makes a lot of great sounds. I want to focus on the negative aspects, because to me, those are the differentiators.
Ok... the main problem with this kitchen is that there is NO SPACE to set anything down... there is a counterop space of about 4 inches square in one tiny corner. Yes, there is a ledge, and as long as you are willing/able to use the kitchen someplace not against a wall - so kids walk around, then that space stays available, but also who in the heck walks around their kitchen island to use the inconvenient side? No one, so to me, the space there is useless. (Plus the grill is there, so you have to walk around that too)
Besides counter space... the frige has only one shelf, and the top of that shelf is rendered useless by the silly ice maker whish usually doesn't work. (when the door is closed, the ice maker takes up that entire space inside the frige. So, you have one compartment with a shelf about 3 inches deep, and 10 inches high to try to stack anything in there. Hmmm... Then you have essentially 3 cabinets - wich are: dish washer, oven, and grill. So if you have play food and you wanted to store it in your frige, no dice. (But you could store it in your oven and dishwasher, but that seems weird to me!) You do get two shelf compartments with baskets - I use one of those for dishes and the other one has food in it - but it's so small - the refrigerator items just don't fit there. There is also one additional cabinet - small but very useful above the coffee maker. We have very limited food items (about 25) and they don't all fit in these decribed places. So if you don't have a lot of extra space to store food items in a device you purchase in addition, this is a problem.
If you have ample space, and an additional shelf unit with some baskets, then this is a cute way to solve the issue and make it far more functional. I am disappointed with the work space and the storage space. My two year old loves the kitchen though... and plays with it daily since getting it for Christmas. I would just like for him to have more food items, but I have nowhere to keep them!! The old kitchens had less gadgets but more storage and work space. I think I liked that better!!
