LOVE LOVE LOVE our Educo wooden kitchen, which is $99 plus free shipping at oompa.com and moolka.com. It is a high-quality kitchen, plus comes with awesome wooden play food and cookwear! Just know that it is on the smaller side, meant for 1-3 or 4 yr olds rather than older kids.

ETA: Just saw you previous thread. There always Step2 and Little Tikes kitchens in my local CL in the $30-$40 range.

Glad to know that you like this. I have been looking at the Educo kitchen on oompa for the last week. DS will only be 15 mo at Christmas. Not sure if he is too small for this. He loves to play with my niece's kitchen when we visit.

Do you have any preferences? Wood vs Plastic? Are you looking for something Gender neutral? That would help me narrow down the search. ;)

Step2 has quite a few in the $100 range. That said I see them pop up ALL THE TIME on craigslsit for half the price! They are like new most of the time, I was planning to do this. We were looking into the deluxe because this one had the most lights, sounds etc (DH). But that was before I changed my mind for a wooden Kidkraft lol. Well...DH saw the Grand Walk-in bundled with the tradtional table and foldable chairs at Sam's Club and we ended up with that one. VERY durable, wonderful company, we love it its great!

If you dont want to go with Step2 I like this Chicco one. They are a good company so I think I can recomend it:

I've heard some good things about Small World on this board too:

The Step 2 Lifestyle Kitchen is reduced to $79.84 at Walmart.com. If you do "ship to store" then shipping will be free. It got great reviews.

This Kidkraft Large Kitchen Set has been around for years and gets good reviews. It is larger (taller) than the typical smaller scale kitchens. It isn't under $100, but for $139.99 (shipping included), it's a good price. Also, you can't beat Costco's return policy. You can return it for any reason if you don't like it, as far as I know.

Here is a real cute Kidkraft one for under $100. And if you check out Slickdeals.net, there is a thread on getting 20% back from Overstock.com using Live.com cashback.

The Play Wonder Kitchen at Target is $20 off through 11/26 with Target's Toy Book coupon (can be printed out at Target.com), bringing it down to $109.99:

If you want wood, for under $100 I agree with the PPs...check out the Educo kitchen.

There are also tabletop wooden kitchens (I know Alex makes one)

I got a Toys to Grow on catalog recently, and they have a smaller scale wooden kitchen in there for $100. No idea of quality, but it looked decent (but small in scale) http://www.toystogrowon.com/sku689

$99 kitchen from Constructive Playthings: (no idea of quality but there may be reviews here)
http://www.constplay.com/cgi-bin/constplay_cgi.sh/WService=constplay/constplay.com/family/product.htm?stateInfo=cioZLxalpfhwJiFb6075|4&dept_id=26&pf_id=KRP-35L&parent_id=0&call_prog=dept&page=2&qty=1

This is $140 from Constructive Playthings (I know it is over budget, but I thought I'd list it just in case)

eta: there are also the plastic kitchens, and you might also find something on Craigslist (in my area I see wooden ones on Craigslist pretty often).
