Hape Cook 'N Serve Kids Contemporary Design Pretend Play Wooden Cooking Kitchen

I rely on reviews and unboxed this item with the idea that I would contribute my own. I set a timer before assembling and took lots of pics and notes along the way. (I’m a 52-year-old Nana and am the handy person in our home, FYI.) Pros: * The pieces are packed well, each is individually wrapped in protective packaging. The sides are padded inside the box too. * The instructions are clearly illustrated and easily understood. (I unboxed and lined them up to reflect the diagram for reference and hopefully the easiest possible assembly experience. Everything needed is included, and I like to use the tool included vs power tools so as not to split wood accidentally with too much force. * Most pieces are already partially assembled. For instance, the front piece with the oven door is all put together for you, so it needs only to be attached to the corresponding sides. * One person can easily assemble this, as there aren’t any tricky parts that someone must hold while another attaches a piece, etc. I completed it within an hour, even with a couple interruptions. * The finished piece is beautiful, functional, sturdy and looks like it will last through multiple grandbabies and many years of play at our home. I especially like how the footprint is smaller, with the counter extension sliding inside the unit when not in use. Cons: * The only negative is that the instructions aren’t completely clear which sides are facing what direction when it comes to the 2 pieces that have the blackboard finish. It’s a small inconvenience, and I pulled up a pic of the listing on my phone to make sure I was connecting the right way. But it’s literally the only negative of any scale I can think to mention. If you can grab this on sale, it’s an absolute steal. But at any price it’s a quality piece that will last through a lot of creative play hours, and I’m excited to equip ours with some fun wooden food items, pots and pans and cute little appliances.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love items that teach kids about home life, so getting this was amazing. It builds well, sturdy, and super cute. I used it to replace the ones my kids already had. Well made. Thank you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves this kitchen set. It’s a cute and perfect size to travel room to room if needed. What I like most is that it becomes more compact and it’s doubled sided for kitchen play or to take orders. Very cute and no disappointments.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a daughter and a son both of them loves to pretend play. My son loves to play a role of chef and he always pretends to cook for me. As a mom I always encourage them and wanted them to learn. This kitchen is just perfect what I needed for my kids. This is designed so beautifully and professionally. The material used in this is really great quality wood . This was so easy to assemble usually i have to ask my husband for help but this time i was able to do it by myself and it took me around an hour. The instructions were easy and clear to understand and you don’t need any special tools you just need a screwdriver and an allen key that’s all . I loved the extra counter which can be pull out/in easily and an extra shelf for stacking pretending food items. The oven is also spacious and looks like a real oven and the switches also make click sound like a oven. There are some hanging hooks which are perfect to hang washing cloth, cooking utensils and other items. The sink and tabs are also made so beautifully. Overall this is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. My kids spends a lot of time playing together with this .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really happy with this play kitchen. It is smaller than many kitchens, so it's great for homes with limited space (like mine). I love that it is mobile and easy to pull out and use and then tuck back and away when necessary. It looks great. It was easy to put together and seems well made. I would definitely recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this adorable kitchen. It is super cute. Especially the little table that is attached. You have to put it together, but it was definitely worth it. My granddaughter loves it. It is very durable. I definitely recommend this product for everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this more my almost two year old and he loves it. My 4 year old son has also started to using it as well. He is not the type of kid that usually plays with these type of toys and is usually very rough with toys and this kitchen has held up tough! We love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hape is well known for making simple yet high quality kids toys. This kitchen is no exception to that reputation! It was very easy to assemble with about 17 pieces to match up and screw together. I used the allen wrench tool that came with and it took me only 40 minutes from start to finish to assemble. I love that it is a very classic combination of wood and white to make it for both little girls AND little boys alike. My son enjoys pretending to cook in his Hape kitchen while his father and I cook dinner. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this Hape Cook ‘N Serve wooden kitchen from Tryit Sampling and it’s just the cutest thing! I absolutely love that it is wooden and not plastic. The quality of this is absolutely amazing! Very sturdy and well around material. This allows the child to be creative and have fun. My daughter loves pretend play and making me food in her kitchen. The creativity with this kitchen is all well fun for young ones! The materials in this kitchen seem to me will last for a long time it’s small enough to move all over since my daughter loves to bring it out of her room into the kitchen like she is cooking with me or for me! All around it’s one that will be played with for a while!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hape cook n serve kids kitchen is so cute! My 2 boys who are 2 and 4 have loved played with it. It also looks like since its not bright colors. It was pretty easy to put together, took me probably 20ish minutes. The side slides in and out and it doesnt take up too much space which is great!

Would give a five star if it didn’t come with one of the knobs broken off! It is a very nice wooden kitchen! Perfect size for toddler! I am hoping that they will just send me a replacement part instead of having to return the whole thing! Crossing my fingers!
