A Play Kitchen You’ll Actually Want in Your Home

Last Christmas, Margot received her play kitchen, and I spent a good amount of time researching the best one. I wanted something well-made, well-reviewed, and neutral enough to look nice wherever it ended up—our living room, her room, or even the sunroom.

Below are the top play kitchens I found that balance quality, functionality, and design. Most are available from multiple retailers (Amazon, Target, Walmart, Wayfair, Maisonette), and prices vary by site. To get the best deal, search the exact product name—retailers like Maisonette often run sales that include play kitchens.

Here are my favorite options:

  1. ROBUD Rustic Wooden Kitchen Set (~$80) — A charming, budget-friendly wooden kitchen with a fabric under-the-sink curtain for extra pretend-play detail.

  2. ROBUD Wooden Play Kitchen (~$90) — A lower-profile design (no uppers) that works well in smaller spaces, with a cute built-in ice maker.

  3. ROBUD Wooden Play Kitchen (~$90) — Features rattan accents, leather pulls, and an ice maker — a great option if you want something that feels elevated but still affordable.

  4. Teamson Kids Little Chef Memphis Small Play Kitchen (~$90) — A compact kitchen with a faux marble backsplash, arc-spout faucet, and a playful attached phone.

  5. Babytronic Wooden Kitchen Playset (~$110) — Includes rattan accents, a faux tile backsplash, microwave, and a fridge with ice maker for lots of interactive play.

  6. Teamson Kids Little Chef Morocco Play Kitchen (~$125) — A feature-packed kitchen with faux Moroccan tile backsplash, chalkboard fridge, working ice maker, microwave, oven, and a washing machine.

  7. Teamson Kids Little Chef Mayfair Retro Play Kitchen (~$140) — A retro-inspired design with a Smeg-style fridge look, perfect if you love a vintage aesthetic.

  8. Teamson Kids Little Chef Chester Play Kitchen (~$140) — A two-piece kitchen with a standalone fridge, making it more flexible for different room layouts and play spaces.

  9. ROBUD Wooden Play Kitchen (~$140) — An all-in-one setup with a built-in fridge and ice maker, plus an oven and microwave.

  10. Zara Home Children’s Wooden Play Kitchen (~$220) — A minimalist, neutral design with subtle vintage details — ideal if you want something that blends seamlessly into your home.

  11. Le Toy Van Large Wooden Play Kitchen (~$265) — Made from FSC-certified wood, featuring rattan accents on the oven, washing machine, and microwave, plus a decorative faux tile backsplash.
