Play Kitchen: recommend yours!

[atouchofklasse]

It's for a boy so no pink/purple, please.

Cost isn't an issue.

Also, what accessories do you recommend?

[cjeanette]

Ours is a wooden one from Target. They also have a lot of the Melissa and Doug type wooden food and dish sets.

I also got some felt-type food from Ikea for this Christmas that I really like.

We have this one.

We bought it on sale last year at Christmas. It looks like the company may no longer make this model.

I completely over thought the play kitchen. I spent hours researching and looked at dozens. It was really ridiculous. This one worked well in the space we have for it, and I liked that it has shelves, and is made of reclaimed ash.

Please excuse the mess we had just come back from vacation.

We have this one:

It's bright, and probably too girly, but Kidkraft has the same one in different colors, including just plain white. It's great - really sturdy, DD loves how many things open & close, and it wasn't completely horrific to put together.

For accessories, I got her a pots & pans set at Target, a set of dishes, and a bunch of play food (target, Ikea, Melissa & Doug). DD spends hours in her kitchen, and thanks Daddy every day for building it for her.

ETA: here is the same on in white, with primary color accents:

We have the KidKraft. It also comes in primary colors. Good size and well built.

We have this one, but it was from a yard sale so I have no idea the brand. We even have the same ikea silverware as this google image result. Love the kitchen.

We have the Kid Kraft one too!

[Willis Jackson]

We have the Ikea one. Love it.

We also have the Ikea one and love it

This one: www.amazon.com/dp/B000A6L6WK/?tag=hyprod-20&hvadid=15473447619&hvpos=1o2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11028500051911679996&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&ref=asc_df_B000A6L6WK

She has a lot of Plan Toys food she uses with it.

We have a Step 2 one, it was a Christmas buy from Walmart and was $80 bundled with a box of play food. If you have a Costco membership they usually have then in the Christmas toy aisles.

[ijack]

We have the red kidkraft one - E got it for her first bday and it's been played with every day for 3.5 years. Both girls love it!

I really liked the way this one looked and we almost bought it for DD, but then I happened to see a little tikes one in near perfect condition at a thrift store (it was just missing one oven knob) and picked it up for $20. I was happy to pick one up for so little, but even if we had gone ahead and spent $100 or more, it would have been worth it. That kitchen has been played with so much in the last 3 years.

We have the white kidkraft one too. We got it last year for Christmas and the boys still play with it a lot.

[lindyanne]

If I was getting one I would prefer wood but I saw this one the other day at Toys R Us and thought it was pretty awesome if space isn't an issue www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12886063
Pottery Barn also has some nice non girly colors - white, red and black with 'stainless trim'

[atouchofklasse]

Thanks so much everyone!

We have the Melissa & Doug corner kitchen. It's small, which works perfectly for us since we live in a condo. DS likes it. It is a pain in the ass to assemble, though.

We have this one too, also because we wanted smaller.

[bronxgirl]

I found a good deal on CL for a PBK kitchen, but if I had to buy a new one I would get either the Melissa and Doug corner one or the kidcraft one.

[birdmom]

We have the Ikea one. It's great. The burners actually light up when you push the button.
