Does anyone have experience with the Classic Wood Kitchen from Constructive Playthings?

(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make a 'tinyurl'.)

It looks like a great option for us, but I couldn't find any feedback on it. Is it carried anywhere else?

Thanks!

Veronica (Eva's mom) has that one. I have seen it in person and my impression of it was that it was pretty diminutive.

Well at 23.5" wide x 12" deep x 35.5" high its average for size. Most kitchens are around 12" deep and 28"-38" high. This is rated for a 3-8 year old and I would say that is spot on.

It is way too small for an 8-y/o to play with comfortably, IMO. We have the Small World kitchen and it's much bigger. The smaller ones I've seen like the CP and LoN kitchens top out at about age 6, IMO.

I don't want to hyjack but what small world kitche do you have. We are looking for one now for the holidays.

Thanks for your responses!

Funda62-Many, many thanks for your awesome wooden kitchen spreadsheet. I copied it into Excel and eliminated all of the kitchens that didn't fit my criteria. That left me with a pretty manageable list of kitchens to decide between... and super-organized DH was so impressed that I had a spreadsheet of play kitchen options for him to review!

Has anyone else seen this kitchen in person?

Thank you!
