TP Junior Cook Wooden Mud Kitchen

A well made fun toy for a 2 year old.

This is a really cool little mud kitchen. Assembly requires a drill and more skill than, say, Ikea furniture does to build but not so much that you'll be lost with only minor woodworking skills. The vast majority of the attachment points are not pre-drilled and I got in some trouble trying to just let the screws make their own holes -- namely the top of one of the upright pieces split when the screw hit a knot. I made sure to drill pilot holes from that point forward and didn't encounter any other issues. It says it's made of treated lumber (and it definitely smells like that's the case) but there's also a part of the instructions that tells you it's not and how to treat it for outdoor longevity so we'll see how it holds up. I live in Southern California so it's a very dry climate; I'm not concerned about the wood rotting from moisture but I am curious as to how it'll fare in our 110+ degree summer temperatures. I'll come back and update my review if it doesn't do well.Beyond all that, this item seems pretty well made and is definitely a hit with my 5 year old. She's 43" tall and it's a little short for her so she may outgrow it in the next year or so but it'd be easy enough to set it up on some bricks or a riser of some sort and extend it's play value if she's still into it then. The accessories are very small but fully usable and fit well. The only alteration I did was I skipped the little screws it wants you to hang the pots and pans from and screwed my own little cup hooks in instead. That seems to work better to hold the accessories, especially when I pick the whole thing up to move it and clean around it. My daughter is already asking to paint the base to match her playhouse. I love how customizable this thing will probably be but it's really cute as is, too.

My son enjoys his little kitchen. For now it’s inside due to it being cold/icy and snowy outside. He enjoys pretending to cook. Great little addition. Easy to assemble , took about 35 minutes with power tools and its sturdy . I like that its made out of wood which makes it a solid toy. 10/10 recommend especially for small spaces.

The wood pieces are cut well as I did not run in to any issues putting it together. For some reason they did not predrill holes for all locations. You will need some experience with measurements (units are in mm). Some parts require eyeballing where you are going to screw in a piece of wood. However, assembly is easily done with one person. The wood panels on the bottom for example do not fit perfectly snug against each other like in the picture. The holes are no pre-drilled for placement and since they don't snug up against each other, you will have to space the boards evenly as you screw them in. There was only one pre-drilled hole that did not line for the bottom divider. They provided just enough screws for the full assembly.On their description for the product page, they state it's treated wood. However, in the instructions it has a half page of instructions with a warning that specifically states wood treatment not included and how to treat it.Overall it's a fun little kitchen setup for outdoors. After I put a kid safe coating on it, it will last for years to come.

This mud kitchen was easy to assemble. And the kids love it. The only thing that I did not like about it was that wood is not treated and even says in the instruction that wood treatment is recommended. With it being an outdoor kitchen I expected that the wood would have be treated.

We personalized our mud kitchen and then painted it with a clear outdoor paint as recommended. It looks great and my kids love it!!! It's very sturdy and was easy to assemble. Great addition to out backyard play area!!!

We got this for our grandkids. It’s been a gigantic hit with them. They have already spent a lot of time playing with it. I love seeing themuse their imagination.

This is made out of treated wood, and feels reasonably sturdy for an outdoor children’s toy kitchen. My boy thinks it’s great, because he’s always trying to cook “like daddy” and now he can do that any time without dragging out the good pots and pans.The wood smells a bit like chemicals, but that’s probably because it’s treated wood. It’s smooth enough not to seem like a big risk of splinters. It all goes together a little rough (not everything is perfectly and precisely square and flush), but what can be reasonably expected? And even if it was perfect to start, after being in the weather and being the victim of toddler play nothing would stay perfect long.It’s also a convenient outdoor end table when not in use by the little guy, so after bedtime I’ve got a place to rest a cold “soda pop” :-)
