It is recommended for children ages 3 and up and suits a neutral, modern home aesthetic rather than a bright, toy-store look. Kitchen accessories like the Play Cooking Set, Grocery Set, and Shopping Trolley are sold separately and pair with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kitchen is built from stable, high-quality wood with a modern, neutral finish, and the surfaces are easy to wipe clean.
