Plan Toys Kitchen Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased the Plan toy Kitchen Center last Christmas (2009) for a then 2-3/4 year-old boy. Kitchen play is very big in preschool. Arrived undamaged and required minimal assembly. Probably took less than 10 minutes to put together. A rather small and compact kitchen center. It is great for condo/apartment living; blends well in living area. Very aesthetically pleasing - like the gender neutral color palate. We purchased the orange - light wood combination as the price was about $25 cheaper than the red. Recommend for play with 1-2 children only due to smaller size. A bit pricey - but expected with Plan Toy Products; well constructed environmentally friendly product with no plastic components. The doors are hinged. A very simple toy with few bells and whistles. You do hear clicking sounds when turning the knobs, the kitchen faucet turns and the sink is metal. We do have a few of the Plan toy kitchen accessories; pots, dishes and kitchen utensils. The Melissa and Doug food items work well. The kitchen center has remained a favorite and frequently played with toy of my now 3-year-old boy. It encourages him to use his imagination; he makes me coffee and meals on a frequent basis; he infrequently washes the dishes - go figure. Overall the toy has held up nicely. The sink is a bit thin and has a few dings. Paint finish requires gentle cleaning - no harsh abrasives. The slots for cooking utensils are a bit incompatible for the dexterity of a toddler and a young preschooler to use. I anticipate at least a couple more years of regular use. I would recommend this toy to a friend and would definitely purchase again.
