Muddy Maker Mud Kitchen

I put this together while watching Gossip Girl. It's not as difficult as some reviews make it out to be. I do think you need a drill to assemble because some of the holes are drilled, but when you attach pieces to the frame, those holes may not be drilled. It makes sense because of variations in wood and needing parts to line up, so I can see that if you drilled something in the wrong place, that would be tricky, but if you follow the instructions and make sure things aren't out of place as you go, it's not that bad. As completed, it is very sturdy and my daughter loves it. I like the chalkboard feature across the top. I had some chalkboard markers and put my daughter's name there. It looks like it will last a long time and it is big enough for more than one child to play. I love that it goes outside. We have it on our screened porch.

Easy to follow instructionsyou do need a power drill to make, it was my first time using a power drill and it was pretty simple, not complicated at all. I just built it, so my kids haven't had a chance to really play with it but seems sturdy.Comes with some pots which is a plus

hold onto the box, you will need that picture to assemble this. I reccomend placing that center board close enough to hold the blue tub soundly. Mine is just barely catching. It did take a couple hours to assemble. Do not use any power tools, you will split the boards. I purchased an open package, so I got an excellent deal. The full retail value for this item is not worth it. I did not have time to construct one, so for the money this will get me buy until I do. It will probably not hold up for more than a couple years, and definitely can not handle children using it for a climbing structure. The instructions are all metric. Good luck for anyone in the United States. I pulled out the kids school rulers and just guessed alot. It hasn't fallen apart yet.

Instructions are in mm but completely doable. With proper planning and layout, one person can put it together if you have clamps. I had my husband help me. Just following the instructions step by step, took us about 3hrs to put together. Power drill recommended! Girls ages 3 and 6 even pitched in to help tighten screws. Good family fun, only called my husband the adult term for a butt sphincter once lol. If you knew us, you know that's an improvement. Last time we put anything together was 9 years ago and it nearly ended in divorce. Ever since, I buy it and leave for him to put together without me. Something about following the instructions is optional for him. However, follow the directions on this, and it will go by fast.

This product is a lot smaller than the picture depicted. I should have read the measurements more closely.

The media could not be loaded. This has been my daughter’s favorite outdoor toy for 3 years! We sometimes have it outside and to change it up we bring it on the back porch. It’s big enough to share with a friend and you can add water to the sink part as well! It’s held up through the sun and rain! We love it!

The media could not be loaded. We have had this outdoor kitchen for a year now in his fort. A year! It looks brand new, the black has not faded, the wood has not splintered or cracked. Gets rained on, sunshine, it’s just perfect.

This is so fun. Great with sand and water. Hard to assemble per husband. And the door fell off and needed to be reattached with longer screws. But it’s so cute and fun. Would totally recommend! The kids are 2 and it’s a great size with room to grow.
