I’m in the market for a play kitchen for my daughter. She loves to pretend to cook using her play pots and pans on a low cube shelving unit.

I’d like to spend less than $150 but have some wiggle room - Facebook marketplace near me is pretty dead (rural area)

There’s so many decisions to make -

• low tech and basic vs lights and noises (or somewhere in between?)

• wood vs plastic

• I want one with fridge, stovetop, oven, sink, microwave

• Some Kid Kraft ones have ice dispensers that dispense little ice cubes - is that as fun for toddlers as it sounds?

• I would love actual counter space for her to “prep” because she likes to cut her Melissa and Doug wooden velcro food

• some have dishwashers!? she loves our dishwasher

• seems important to check reviews that the doors stay shut

• counter height - she’s 20 months and 33-34 inches tall

What else should I consider?

I’d love to hear which kitchen you have and your thoughts on it.
