PBK Kitchens worth the extra money?

[jacksmomtobe]

I was wondering if the PBK kitchens are worth the extra money. They look so cool but is it one of those things that I like but the kids could care less? How do they hold up? I'm looking for a kitchen for dd who will be 17 mo and DS who will be 3 1/2+ at Christmas. It is technically dd's gift. I'm going to do a more comprehensive search later and consider all options but I really love the look of the PBK ones and I know there are a few on sale. I guess if they hold up well then paying more doesn't really matter as much to me but I don't want it to be something that looks good then falls apart. I would love any & all feedback.

Thanks!

Haven't BTDT, but I've heard that the two-piece retro one that Costco has is pretty much as nice and lots cheaper. It's pink, though--not sure which of the PBK ones you were considering.
