AnonyMouse_6327 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi We are looking to buy a new kitchen for our home corner. What kitchen do you have and how has it lasted? I like the look of the mobile corner unit that is the catologues, but am also looking at the units that have fully hinged doors in the hope they stay attached? What do you recommend. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 So much choice isnt there? I think the one I was involved in buying came from NES. It was about 7 years ago and it still looks good, doors still attached, solid. We bought four units so the area could be changed around, and also for easier storage but they were expensive £100-£150 each. Measure your area first, I go to settings where the units are bigger than the area!! And watch the height, no good having something small people cant reach the top of.

Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I bought a Little Tykes Country Kitchen 7 years ago and am amazed that it has stood the test of time. We have to set up every day so it has even coped with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Like Rea we got ours from NES and the doors are still on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1490 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I also have a Little Tikes Country Kitchen. It's about 10 years old and stiill in good condition.It is used everyday for 2 sessions. We also set up each day. It does take up a large space in the cupboard though but we stack all the cushions on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5892 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) We purchased ours from NES arnold. Had it for 4 years now and it's great! Looks good too (impresses the parents). Costs a bit much but is worth it in the end. http://www.nesarnold.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stor...tyle=EarlyYears Oh and doors are still attached!!

AnonyMouse_705 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I would recommend Community Playthings. Definitely worth the money. Their stuff lasts for years. Here's their website www.communityplaythings.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 We have the community playthings kitchen Very versatile for creating different role play options but extremly heavy!!!! I wouldn't recommend it for a setting that has to set up daily. However I would really recommend their story telling chair for group times. http://www.communityplaythings.co.uk/c/Chairs/TLC/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1469 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) We bought ours direct from John Crane Ltd, and got them at half price by doing so.We had to assemble them ourselves, but this was very easy, using an allen key. There was free delivery if we spent over £100, I think this has now gone up to £200..................which is easy to do n their catalogue!! The items have been in daily use for almost 4years and are in excellent shape, even though we pack them away sometimes.However, if the budget had allowed, I would definately have bought Community Playthings items...................i have some of their stuff which is at least 30 years old and still in beautiful condition, and think of how many little hands have used them over those years!!

AnonyMouse_64 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 We have wooden ones that came from NES many many years ago and they are still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
