Hi, does anyone one have this kitchen for their little one and is it any good?

Yes, we do, I just brought it in September for my DS's 3rd birthday. What do you need to know?

I have a similar tefal one that we got for dd last xmas. she absolutely loves it although it was a bit fiddly to put together

Hi Mumatuks, just wanted to know if it's any good really, i.e. is it nice and sturdy? Everyone goes on about the ELC kitchen but I don't really want to spend that much on it as it's likely it will be placed in the wendy house outside.

I thought it was fairly easy to assemble, even with my over excited DS's hovering whislt I made it! I was disappointed it wasn't a bit more sturdy and I'm wary of it with my 15month old around as we have it on carpet and it doesn't do for young ones pulling themselves up on it, but as for DS1 3 years, no problems. Other negatives: that it didn't have any shelves for the cooker or fridge (it looks like it should have them)
I had to stick the stickers on myself as there is no forgiveness in them, so a few are lop sided! (my fault!)

Saying this, however, DS loves his kitchen, hasn't noticed any of the faults I have and it has been played with almost every other day. I'd say your page link to the one at £15 is a great price, and I wouldn't pay anymore than £25. If you're on a budget go for it, if you have a little extra to spend I'd go for a more expensive one, say Little Tykes or similar.
As I said though, DS is thrilled with it, and has never complained about it!!

same as mumatuks. no shelves either which I thought was crapola.. BUT DD 2.10 loves it. She got it on her 2nd bday and I think she has played with it everyday since...

DD has never knocked it over so not too unsturdy, you can get better but at that price I would definately go for it...
