So, we all have fallen in love with the Pottery Barn Kids retro kitchen, but at $649 for the sink, refrigerator, and stove… that’s a few bake sales too many. Now, Kid Kraft, maker of high quality wooden toys, has the perfect alternative…Lucy’s Red Retro Kitchen ($249.95). This retro inspired kitchen gets all the proper appliances (refrigerator, freezer, oven, sink, stove, and microwave) in one unit! I did notice the overall height (36.5″) is a little short for 3+ years, but not a deal breaker. Quality like this can’t be turned down. Kid Kraft makes kid tough pieces. We have several Kid Kraft toys that have been thrown across the room or fallen from tall shelves and didn’t even bust. They have survived many hours of banging and pouncing and still look as good as new.
I purchased a pink retro style kitchen for my daughter with the sink, stove, and refrigerator as separate pieces. Although it is stunning in my playroom, it takes up quite a bit of space. This all-in-one unit would have saved room and been equally as eye pleasing. The other caveat is I purchased a pink retro kitchen. Great when I had only a daughter, not so great for my now one year old son. I wish I had purchased a unisex color. Warning for all parents still reproducing, think neutral when making big purchases. I can see my husband approving the purchase of a second kitchen just to change the color. Purchase the Red Retro Kitchen
