wooden kitchens: Chad valley v Elc retro kitchen?????
I would really like to buy my daughter the elc red retro kitchen which my friend has and costs ??130 (a bit over my budget really) but Ive seen a small wooden kitchen in argos by chad valley which is now reduced to ??45!!! This kitchen would be a compromise to the one I really want but I could use the diffence in cost to buy other christmas presents. Having said this I would rather spend more and get a better one if the chad valley one is crap as Ive already bought a cheap plastic one which went in the bin coz it was rubbish. Can anyone recomend either of these kitchens?

and it's brilliant, really sturdy and well made.

I googled online and mumsnet and some good recommendations. I looked for wooden kitchens and the only decent ones seemed to be on the link below although theres not loads of choice unless you go over ??100. Theres a pastel coloured one for ??95.

I have to say that I was highly impressed with the quality of the red kitchen when we checked everything was there. We havent made it up yet but the finish was nice, everything looked good quality and well made.
Have you looked at the reviews online? there are some good ones for the red retro kitchen.
Also - if you are thinking of the elc one can you get hold of a discount code? We got 20% off ours - think i go in elc too often as she recognised me and let me have 20% off even though coles birthday voucher isnt here yet.. think i looked panicked when she told me they'd sold out by novemnber last year and there were only 300 left int he country so i got the discount!
Can you get the kitchen from argos to look at? I think they still do a viewing thingy where they'll get stuff out for you to take a look at
Joey08 I had a look at that website you suggested but the kitchen I REALLY liked on the website isnt available for delivery in the Uk. Hav you dealt with that company at all?

how about something like this? x
Seriously though - although we haven't put it together yet we've checked everything is there and it seems veyr well made and sturdy and things like hinges on the doors and the little sink bowl and stuff seem pretty sturdy too so I think it'll stand up to cole's rough play.
I've jsut realised that i've totally forgotten to say on the other posts about this kitchen that i've made (seems to have come up a lot lately ) that one of the reasons we went for this one was the storage space - there is a lot of cupboard/microwave/oven etc space for stashing all the play food/pans etc away at the end of the day which seems like a good idea to me
