Naomi Kids Gourmet Kitchen Espresso

Absolutely love this little kitchen. It is so cute. Bought it for our 2.5 year old son and his baby sister when she is older. Overall everything looked great unboxing. A few scuffs but I’m sure I added a few more putting it together. Oh well. A little paint and you’ll never notice. It took about 2.5 to 3 hours by myself to assemble. That being said, actually assembly only took about an hour. Pre-assembly took forever. There are several brackets, latches, and handles that need to be assembled before you can put pieces together. I did see in reviews where predrilled holes were not right. I thought this at one point with a bracket but for the heck of it flipped the bracket around and the holes lined up perfect, there was just a slight variation is the spacing and size that it had to go a certain direction so if you screw holes don’t line up perfect, flip the piece. Along with that, after pre-assembly it has for step one to attach a side to the bottom and then add three more brackets. If I had noticed before putting the side on I would have put the brackets on first and made my life a little easier.Note, that is a small pot from my actual kitchen on the stove. Excited to see his reaction in the morning.

My son has been asking for a kitchen for the past 2 Christmases! We thought it was a faze but he kept asking so Santa delivered! Originally we were going to get the KIdkraft Uptown Kitchen that is similar to this one, but this was one cheaper & looked like his favorite color black. It says the color is espresso but we have furniture in our living room that has espresso legs & the kitchen appears to be more of a shade of black then the espresso legs on our furniture. This is not a problem as our son has a crazy obsession with the color black (he thinks its beautiful like the night sky). Its a beautiful kitchen that took about 4hrs to put together but he said he could have had had it done sooner had we had a working drill to screw all the screws in faster. My son is 5yrs old & was so proud once his kitchen was put together that he wanted to face time his friends/family to show it off! We don't have many play food accesories yet (just what he already had: Mellisa & Doug Pretend Pizza, Mellisa & Doug Cutting Food, Mellisa & Doug Felt Sandwich set), but that has not stopped him from using his imagination & cooking up a storm with it! He also insists that his kitchen be in front of my kitchen for all to see so when I cook he cooks! This seems like a sturdy kitchen & I love that it looks even cooler then my kitchen! I wish it had a pretend phone or water dispenser like the kidkraft kitchen but it really does seem like a kitchen that will hold up well. I will post a picture once i get a chance to upload all my pictures from the holidays!PSOriginally when I purchased this kitchen a week before Christmas is said it would not make it in time, but it did in fact it arrived 2 days before Christmas making our son very happy on Christmas morning!

I give this item a 4.5. It was $100. It took me about 2 hrs to put together (by myself). There were extra parts, which is nice, but I had 4 large dowels that didn’t seem to go to anything. It doesn’t come with a wall strap. Will have to buy that separately. Also there are no screw covers or stickers. Therefore it looks a little tacky. (I purchased screw covers separately already). The towel rack had one end screwed together. When I went to put it on, the other end of the rod didn’t have a hole or screw. So I couldn’t put it on. Instead I’m gluing that end together so I can attach it. Lastly, part of the ‘kitchen counter’ broke off. I had to glue that, too. To be fair, I’m not sure if I damaged it or it came broken. I was very careful removing the pieces, so I’m not sure how it broke off.So, some minor issues, but overall a nice little kitchen at a great price. It seems sturdy and should hold up nicely.

My 17 month old grandson loves playing with this kitchen. It does take some time to put together, but just be patient and go step by step and you will end up with a beautiful and sturdy piece of furniture. My husband and I took our time over a weekend to put it together. There is so much room inside the stove, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and microwave that not only is there room for play food and pots and pans but a whole bunch of toys, puzzles and cars fit inside, too! This kitchen is a play kitchen and toy storage all in one! When our grandson goes home each night we easily pack up the toys inside the play kitchen. It is very nice looking! The espresso color matches our home furnishings! He just began reaching the microwave and this kitchen is big enough for him to grow and play with for a long time! We are all very happy with our purchase of the Naomi Home Kids Gourmet Kitchen Set in Espresso!
