I got to review the Gourmet Cafe Kitchen, This is one of the new Kitchens featured for 2009. it’s features are:

• Kitchen appliances include “stainless steel” oven, stove-top, refrigerator and coffee pot
• Features open “window” for prep n’ serve play; builds cooperative learning skills
• Provides plenty of storage space for playtime accessories – utensil hooks, “stainless steel” dish rack and removable fruit and veggie storage baskets
• Features electronic sounds in both the stove top and phone
• Special pot and pan activate electronic boiling and frying sounds in the stove’s front burner
• Extra large & deep sink features a swiveling faucet, push button, and an additional prep sink area
• Accessory set includes 2 table settings and serving utensils (accessories may vary)
• Durable poly construction wipes clean easily and lasts for years
• Requires 2 “AAA” and 2 “AA” batteries (not included)
• Made in USA of US and imported parts (some accessories and phone made in China)
• Minimal adult assembly required

When I saw the big box arrive I thought it was going to take forever to put together It was actually very simple, it comes in three large parts, and all you have to do is connect and put the screws in. One downside was there were no holes for the screws i had to make them.

We love this kitchen, it has plenty of accessories and tons of space,  I love the fact that it has hooks to hang your utensils on, and even a hook for the phone.
