We ended up getting the modern country and I'm pretty happy with it, except for the assembly - which was a huge POS. I'm thinking the vintage would have been easier to assemble.</p> <p>I am really happy with Kidkraft's customer service! I had a few missing and damaged parts and they sent me a whole new kitchen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206497 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 23:17:43 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1206497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I love the red too!!

I just didn't want anything too huge. But totally understand the concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206483 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 23:04:12 +0000 autumnlove 1206483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the kidkraft retro! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206475 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 22:57:00 +0000 pregnantbee 1206475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: I've also been thinking of the vintage KidKraft one for the holiday but just read in reviews that it's kinda small. Thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206459 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 22:43:26 +0000 mrskc 1206459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: that white vintage one is the one I'm considering! </p> <p>@Kemma: I've never seen the Hape one before! It's so adorable! Might be perfect for us since we don't have a ton of space </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206330 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 20:55:05 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1206330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting the kidkraft retro one for the holidays :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206327 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 20:53:27 +0000 Pancakes 1206327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ikea one and really like it, although the magnets are quite strong on the doors, so they're a little hard to open.

She seems to enjoy even though I'm not sure she knows it's a kitchen yet... The play group we go to also has a Hape kitchen and it's still going strong and looking pretty new after three years.</p> <p>[attach=1664/13/mw0jl9.450x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1206048 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:17:38 +0000 cascademom 1206048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Kidkraft Uptown Espresso one.

They are pretty small too. Right aid and walgreens also have some small plastic cheapie ones. That's what we got cause we live in a small place too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen-recs#post-1205952 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 12:56:00 +0000 Amelieisme 1205952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for a play kitchen rec for my 16 mo old. Ideally, room for two to play together (he has a sister on the way), not too ugly since I'm planning on putting it in my kitchen, can't be more than 40" wide, cabinets to open and close that will fit pots, etc inside. Any recommendations? </p>
