One child cooks and the other hovers. Without a place to sit and be served, the pretend restaurant lasts about four minutes.

The back of this unit is a cafe with two built in seats, 27.5 inches apart, facing a serving hatch. One child cooks at the front, two sit down and order from the back.

Two modes, one footprint

The manufacturer calls them front cooking mode and back eating mode. Spin the unit and the game changes completely, which is a lot of play for a single piece of furniture in a small room.

Prepare, ignite, cook

The tap turns a full circle over the sink, so rinsing works from either side of the basin. The knobs click round to ignite the burners, and the steel pans sit flat on the painted rings.

Storage on both sides

A wide shelf above the hatch holds the plates. A roomy cabinet below swallows the bulkier pieces. A towel rack hangs on the end, and the awning folds down when the cafe is closed.

Sizes and limits

The unit is 29.5 inches by 20.5 inches by 35.5 inches and weighs 37 pounds. Each seat takes up to 44 pounds and the cafe table up to 22 pounds. The age range is 3 to 7, with ASTM and CPSIA certification.

Set 27.5 inches apart on the cafe side, each rated by the manufacturer to 44 pounds.

A cloth canopy over the serving hatch that folds flat when the cafe shuts.

A chrome spout that swings a full circle over the sink basin.

Two knobs on the counter apron that turn round to ignite the painted rings.

A long shelf above the hatch for the plates, bowls and jars.

One cooks at the front while two sit and order at the back, which is a rare thing in a play kitchen.

Because both sides are used, it works standing in the middle of a room rather than against a wall.

Chef and customer are different jobs, so the argument about whose turn it is mostly solves itself.

Buying it from us

• Sizes, weight limits and the age range come from the manufacturer listing.
• The manufacturer's packing list and their accessory photo disagree, so no cookware is promised here.
• No reviews are quoted, because this store does not have any yet.
• Price match against the same item sold cheaper by a Canadian retailer.

How much weight can the seats take?

The manufacturer rates each seat at 44 pounds and the cafe table at 22 pounds.

What age is it for?

The manufacturer gives suitable ages of 3 to 7 years.

Does cookware come with it?

The manufacturer's accessory photo shows spice bottles, bowls, plates, a steel spoon, a spatula, a pan and a pot with a lid, but their packing list for this model shows only the kitchen and the instructions. We cannot confirm what ships, so plan on buying cookware.

Does the awning fold away?

Yes. The cloth canopy folds flat against the frame when the cafe side is not in use.
