I think it would be neat to add some color to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-play-kitchen#post-632490 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:51:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 632490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: for about $20 less you can get just the bottom part of the ikea kitchen.</p> <p>The lower back of either would fit the does gnarled spot better! But I would def have to limit the food I buy for it hahaha! Or else store it in Cobi's own special kitchen cupboard. So I guess in that case storage isn't an issue :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-play-kitchen#post-632485 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:49:05 +0000 runsyellowlites 632485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Very true! It's a tough choice! I like the low back of the Hape, &amp; that it's "closed", but the Ikea looks like it has more storage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-play-kitchen#post-632476 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:43:25 +0000 stargal 632476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like the colorful one for a baby more. its still sutle though and doesnt scream "obnoxious color" when you have it laying around.</p> <p>also i lvoe ikea but some of their stuff doenst hold up to good and can be a PITA to put together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-play-kitchen#post-632471 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:41:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 632471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: it wouldn't be hard to add color to the ikea kitchen!

I will be putting it in our kitchen for LO to play with while I cook.</p> <p>which do you like best? Do you have one of these? </p> [attach=1597/13/mjj3gp.500x500.duktigikea.jpg] [attach=1597/13/mjj3gq.456x600.hapegourmet.jpg]
