My nephew is turning 3 in a few weeks and SIL thinks he'd really like one. What do you recommend for a 3 y/o boy? Or which one do you have and any pros/cons you could tell me would be great. Also, anything else you can tell me about the different ones would be helpful. Thanks!

We got this last?christmas for Layla. It is great, still looks new, fun, etc. ?We did get her extra food for it, it doesn't?come with a lot. Also, make sure you have a drill if you get this one.. they say you don't need one, but it makes things A LOT easier.?

We have the pottery parn kids set and we love it.  We went back and forth between gettting a single unit and seperate pieces.  Since we have two kids playing with it we went with the seperate pieces so they wouldn't be on top of eachother all the time.  This is the one we looked at if we had gone the other way.

We bought this one 2 years ago, and it is still in brand new condition.  Both kids really love it.

We are thinking of getting DS this one for Christmas. He loves that kind of stuff.

I am buying kitchen #2 for my girls.  They had a plastic All-in-One but it did not have enough storage for all the plates, fake food, etc.  And it was not sturdy enough.  This time I am buying one w/ all the essentials--Fridge, sink, stove, micro that has plenty of space for all the stuff that goes w/ it.  Something like this...

I wanted to add that we bought tons of felt food off of etsy.  It's super cute and much nicer than the plastic stuff.  You can also throw it in a mesh bag and pop it right in the washer if your kids tend to put play food in their mouths.

I hate the giant plastic noisy ones. They drive me crazy. With that caveat we are considering:

Ikea: (click on the second pi to see the optional microwave shelf)
