Step2 Retro Diner

This diner is even better than I expected it to be. A lot cuter in person, easy to assemble, ( i did it alone with 2 kids all around me the whole time, in about an hour), great accessories, they thought of everything. The little booths are so cute. It's not huge, but I didn't want a big kitchen taking up a lot of space. It's great that it's 2-sided, because you get more play area for the size. My parents got this for my 1-year-old son's b-day. I also have a 3 yr old boy. They love it and play together. I like that it's more boy-ish than most kitchens. They love the 50's music! Very Cool!! Love it!!

Got a GREAT price on Walmart.com, 1/3 lower than other sites, it was the biggest hit at my 2 year old grandaughters party...her 4year old brother loves it too, they play nice together and my daughter can't believe it! Took no more than 1/2 hour to put together. I was searching and debating about different kitchens, this was by far the most fun!

Fairly easy to put together, BUT I WOULD HAVE A DRILL! The screw spots are not pre-drilled, and you can imagine the difficulty in starting a screw into slick, hard plastic. A second person is also helpful to put pressure on the unit while the other person screws the parts together. This limits the gaps in the finished product. My baby girl loves her DINER! She likes to get into the seat, out of the seat, into the seat....and so on. The battery for the bubbling stovetop went out very fast, but the others have lasted. Great product, definately worth the money!

I've got three boys (a 6 1/2 yr old, a 4 1/2 yr old, and a 2 yr old)... they've been "abusing" the diner for 3 weeks now... and, so far, only one plate has broken... not bad.

This diner has been a major hit with my 2.5 year old daughter. She eats at the booth all the time. And when her friends come over to play, they eat there too. I think that's one of the best features since it can be such a struggle to eat at the table. I love that it combines a seating area with an awesome compact cooking area/ kitchen. We love the jukebox and diner bell. The accessories are great. This is a great toy. It fits in our living room without taking up too much space.

Santa purchased this product for our almost 2 yr old and almost 4 yr old boys for Christmas. They love it. They have the most fun with sitting in the booth and playing with the ice cream drawer, ice cream cones and pretend ice cream. I would buy this again in a heartbeat...we've already gotten our money's worth.

I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and they loved it. Even my 6 year old had fun with it. They love the fact they can sit down and eat their snack sometimes. The toy is pretty sturdy too.

My kids (both boys almost 3.5 and almost 2) got this for Christmas this year, and they love it! They both love to imitate cooking and pouring hot chocolate, etc., so they were ready for some kind of kitchen, but I didn't want something too girly either. This is perfect, especially with the seating area and pass through window. They play with it every day and "make coffee" for mom and dad at breakfast on the weekends. They put their bears in the seats as customers, too. We bought a set of play pots and pans with some utensils which really compliments the set. Something like that could have been included, I wish there was a little more storage, and the directions weren't entirely clear - just pictures - but aside from those 3 things, it works out ok. It's also not so big that it takes up an enormous amount of space. It's light enough that they can pull it out from the wall to play with both sides of it, while still being sturdy. My guys even like to eat their real snacks sitting in their diner. Great toy to spark some really imaginative play! One last thing I have to say is that I ordered this online from Walmart for literally half the price of what it sells for elsewhere, too, including the tax and shipping! It got to me standard delivery in about 3 days of my order. I was very happy.

My daughter fell in love with the "princess" kitchens that are everywhere right now. They get horrible reviews, and I have a son who's almost 2, so I wanted something less girly and more likely to last the beating my son would give it. This kitchen solved that problem perfectly! The booth was such a novel thing that she forgot all about the princesses (I bought her a tea set to cushion the blow!) and now they both can play together. I get in there & cook for them, they sit in the booth & I pass them their food just like a real diner. It's the perfect toy & for what it does, really doesn't take up too much room. My only complaint is that the doorbell isn't very loud & the oven door didn't stay shut well. I put a felt pad in the gap & it works perfectly now.
I would recommend this for kids of all ages. I was concerned that the booth might be too small, but my 4 year old daughter sits in it with room to spare!
