Huge Disappointment
May 12, 2013
The savings from producing this product in China are certainly not being passed on to the customer. At $625 (on sale) I expected far better quality. Returned two sets.
(some of the issues: nicks, scratches, poorly drilled holes, uneven fit of pieces, doors not properly aligned)

Icebox and stove
March 3, 2013
We purchased the icebox and fridge for our two year old son for Christmas. They were delivered quickly but it took three hours for my husband to assemble the stove (far less time to assemble the icebox). They look great in his playroom, but the stove had a piece that wasn't glued properly. After paying $$$, we wanted them to be perfect. I called customer service and they were extremely helpful - shipped us a new stove, free of charge and arranged for free pick up. The new stove arrived and it was practically already assembled (??). My husband was SO happy, but now the new stove didn't match the icebox (the shades of red were different). I called customer service again, and they happily shipped us a new icebox free of charge. The new icebox DID match (whew!), and while it was a slight hassle, I am still giving a five star review. The products are high quality and my son plays with them everyday. Also, PB Kids customer service has been nothing but top notch.

Love the red retro kitchen set!
February 4, 2013
We bought the set for my daughter's birthday. The assembly instructions were great, very easy to follow & all the parts were clearly marked. It took about an hour per piece to assemble & it definitely required 2 people to help hold pieces in place while putting together. Love how well built & sturdy this is. My daughter loves it! Would definitely recommend!!

So many things wrong with this
December 30, 2012
We bought the entire retro kitchen set (sink, refrigerator, and oven) for my two little girls for Christmas. Every piece that was sent to us had something wrong with it. The thermometer on the refrigerator was installed crooked. We attempted to take it off and straighten it out and its not possible. So now every time I look at it, its crooked. The stove has three different colors of red on it. Cabinets are two different colors and the stove itself is another color. The sink was defective. The predrilled holes were on the wrong side of the board so we had to send that back. For the price....its not worth it. Its made rather cheap and I was not impressed by the details of this kitchen. It could have been inspected better before it was sent to us. Very unimpressed by this product.

Red Retro Kitchen Stove
December 19, 2012
My husband and I purchased the Red Retro Kitchen Stove as a Hanukkah gift for our 2 1/2 grand-daughter. It was probably the best gift we could ever have purchased for her. She absolutely loves it!! And it just so happens so doesn't our 5 year old grandson (her brother)!! They play so nice together with it. Always cooking and baking. She loves it so much, my husband and I know exactly what we will get her for her for her 3rd birthday in May.

VERY CUTE...but NOT WORTH THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 10, 2012
My father who has been a contractor for 40 years put it together. 1st paying over 700.00 and having to assemble to me is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe a few things, but every piece needed to be assembled!!! I bought all 3 pieces. The directions for assembly were insane..you had NO idea what piece went where without taking about 20 min. to figure each piece out. The magnet on my doors didn't line up right so they didn't shut..my dad figured something out. There were lots of chips here and there and I was just SO DISSAPPOINTED. Want to send back so bad, but can't...my daughter would be heartbroken. Just in shock over the cost and having to take over 7 hours to put together is NUTS!!!

WORTH THE MONEY
November 26, 2012
I purchased the stove over a year ago primarily for my daughter who was turning 2, and have added the other pieces. We have set up her kitchen set in a corner of our kitchen and she plays with this set daily. Additionally, my sons, who are now 4 and 6 also play with the set quite a bit. It has held up very well, in fact there is not a chip or a scratch on it. I spend a lot of time researching and reviewing other kitchen sets and even though this is expensive, I am sure we would have worn out several less well made sets by now. All three kids can play with these pieces at the same time and not be bored or fight for space. WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT!!!

Red Retro Stove
November 24, 2012
We purchased the stove two years ago when our granddaughter was five years old. She loves it, the clock keeps the time correctly, and she has since learned how to tell time. It is well built and we do not have any problems with it chipping and peeling paint. This year she will be getting the Sink and Icebox and know that she will enjoy it just as much. Thank you so much.

Retro Kitchen Set
August 27, 2012
I just wanted to say I have had our set for almost a year and my grand children love it. I wish the clock really worked. We just started some Montessori work so I wish it was all real!!!! But we will at least go for the sink holding water and the shelves holding practical lessons!! I have to share that I had called to tell my husband "I bought my birthday present it is red, little and FUN!!!!

worst set EVER
May 19, 2012
Despite the reviews on chipping, I decided to order this highly over-prices set for my children... BIG MISTAKE! Although this is one of the cutest looking sets I have ever seen, it is also the poorest in quality that I have ever owned. As soon as I took it out of the box I knew I had made a mistake. In multiple spots there was chipping paint that the factory had already tried to cover up with touch up paint!!!! Within 2 hours of having it out of the box there was chipping paint & scuff marks ALL over it! Another negative is the appearance of fingerprints that is left all over it; I would prefer having toddler hands on stainless steel!! The same day that I had opened the box was the same day I called to have it picked back up! Overall rating.... terrible!!! I love pottery barn but would NEVER order another kitchen set from there! Extremely dissapointed!

Worth the money
February 7, 2012
I went back and forth between this kitchen set and the wooden kidKraft sets. I had my mind made up to buy the kidkraft, but kept coming back to this one. I finally decided to get this set for my two year old daughter for Christmas and haven't regretted it at all!
Not only is it super cute, it is also very durable, heavy, well built and much bigger than most kitchen sets. The size allows for more storage and the ability for numerouse kids to play with it at one time.
I would highly recommend spending the money on this kitchen set. It is worth every penny!

Look No Further, This Kitchen Is The One You Want!
January 19, 2012
Our daughter turned 2 in Aug & got the red retro kitchen for Christmas. It's perfect. She's small for her age, but can still reach everything. At the same time, it's big enough that she won't outgrow it next year. After a few weeks of constant play, it still looks like we just took out of the box. The stove has been danced on, the sink used as drums, and even our Boxers have tried to open some of the doors... but it all looks impeccable. This kitchen isn't cheap, but you won't find anything that compares to it. Durable, sturdy, and attractive - if only our kitchen looked as nice! Also, all our food sets (Melissa & Doug especially) fit in this kitchen. If you want a kitchen, look no further!!!

Retro Refrigerator
December 11, 2011
My granddaughter loves this. Well made! My only dissapointment is that I wish it had a shelf inside the refrigerator but my granddaughter was not dissapointed at all. The sparkle in her eyes told it all. Much better quality than the plastic set I had gotten her previously. the magnetic door is an added plus. She loves it!

DURABLE- very impressed
April 14, 2011
We have had our kitchen for about a year. I have 2 kids under 3 and it has withstood their climbing on it, throwing things at it, slamming doors, etc. Last night, the TV cabinet we had mounted to the wall above the kitchen fell off the wall and landed on the oven. There is not a dent or a single scratch to be found. I am amazed! Very impressed with the quality of this product.

Cute but needs improvement!
April 2, 2011
I shopped around and by far this is the cutest set available unfortunetely the quality could be improved! The paint chips easily even if you are careful, the overall construction is not as durable as I would expect. I was hoping to spend the money to keep the set around for years to come but it wont last that long. Good luck!

Love the look, however...
March 25, 2011
I totally love this retro look and both of my children enjoy playing with it. I have received a lot of compliments on it. However, it is really frustrating to see how badly it is chipping and we've only had it for a couple of years! I really wish you would offer some touch up paint or give the info where I could purchase it. This is something I would like to keep for my grandchildren and would like the red to look the same all over.

We (my husband, 2 year old daughter, and I) are having a lot of fun with the sink, stove, and refrigerator! This is a cute set and I love the fact that there are moving knobs and plenty of storage for kitchen items when playtime is done. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

A new favorite toy
January 2, 2011
We bought the entire set for our 20 month old for Christmas, it is both nice to look at and seems very durable. Unlike other reviews I haven't noticed any chipping in the paint. The set has been repeatedly slammed into with a toy pram, hit with a metal hairbrush and the doors thrown open and slammed against the other doors and no chipping or scratching so far.
One last thing, the shelves in the fridge are very strong, my daughter has been climbing on the second shelf and closing the door on herself, she has not damaged either herself or the fridge. In other words even though we have only had the kitchen out for a week I believe it can withstand quite a bit.
