Children love playing with kitchen sets, I mean they are interesting, its were food lives and they haven’t had the years of tedious washing up and chores to make them resent every second spent in one. Melissa and Doug Chef’s Kitchen in Charcoal is a beautifully designed modern play kitchen to spark the minds of young budding chefs (or future kitchen porters, that’s where Chef Ramsey started). It is suitable for ages 3 and requires so adult self-assembly, thankfully it comes with illustrated instructions to make setting up a straightforward and stress-free procedure, once set up it will stand at roughly 3.5feet (1 meter) long, and more than 3feet (0.9 meters) high and weighing in at 64.75 lbs.

This kitchen has all the latest appliances including a refrigerator/freezer with a working ice maker that dispenses two included "ice cubes," an oven and stovetop with dials that turn, microwave with turning plate, sink with moving faucet and handle, shopping list, movable hooks, and loads of shelving and storage to help with tidying up after playtime, I’m jealous that this modern set up is its better than my real kitchen. Its large size means multiple children can play at once (subject to sharing skills of said child). Sturdy, top-quality wooden construction means it will stand up to years of creative make-believe meal-making! Accessories sold separately. We love the fact this kitchen resembles a real kitchen, it isn’t too cutesy and doesn’t fall into any gender stereotypes, it has a premium finish with good attention to detail, just ensure you have a good amount of space to set it up permanently as its size and weight mean you won’t want to be moving it about on a daily basis.
