 Complete Kitchen Center by Guidecraft USA $299.95 Other Modern Style Play Kitchens:
Pastel Island Kitchen - $161.95 |
Modern Style Play Kitchen Sets
Price Range: $161.95 - $599.95 * Modern style play kitchens look like they came right out of "The Jetsons." They generally have sweeping curves many levels and a lot of different appliances. One distinct advantage of this style of play kitchen is that children can play on both sides, allowing more space for children to play. Speaking of space, make sure you allow extra space in your play area for this style, since kids will want to play all the way around, including ends. Our smallest set has a footprint of 31-1/2" W x 21-1/4" D x 44-1/4" H, and will require an area about 6 1/2 foot by 6 foot to get the full play value. This size is ideal for one to four children to play together. Our largest set is a massive 58 1/2"L x 30"W x 46 3/4"H, requiring a full 8 foot by 10 foot room to play in. Of course, this ultimate play kitchen can easily accommodate up to 8 children, and includes all the features you can think of. Even a washer and dryer! This style offers a huge amount of play value, but also takes up a lot of space. |

 Lucy's Play Kitchen/Jacob's Ice Box Combo by Elves and Angels $379.95 Some Other Classic Play Kitchens:
The Sunflower Kitchen - $143.95 |
Classic Style Play Kitchen Sets
Price Range: $143.95 - $459.95 * If you prefer the "Little House on the Prairie" look, you will be much more attracted to the classic style play kitchens. These kitchens feature classic scalloped edges and beautiful wood or country graphics. This style will not dominate a playroom the way the modern play kitchens will, as they fit snuggly against the wall. As a result, only one to two children can play at the play kitchen at any given time. Just like in real life, refrigerators have to be bought separately, with the exception of Suzanne's Play Kitchen. Play kitchens and refrigerators can be bought separately or bundled together for easy ordering. Most of the classic styled kitchen sets are hand crafted, and are incredibly durable. These play kitchens offer elegant classic styling and take up a small amount of space, but can accommodate fewer children. |
