I have been eyeing this for a while and considering getting this for DD's 2nd birthday. If you have one of these, are you happy with the durability and interactivity/features of the kitchen?
We have one and a couple of my friends have them as well. DD is very rough with it and it has held up really well. Its a great neutral kitchen. My only complaint is the light up burners. We had to replace the batteries twice in a short amount of time and then they went out again and I refuse to replace them. It takes SIX AA batteries!
DD also has a 3 piece kitchen from PotteryBarn Kids (hand me down from cousin) and she plays with the IKEA one just as much. And the potterybarn is falling apart too. I'm so glad I didn't pay for it.

We have this one in the playroom and DD loves it. My only complaint is that there isn't a ton of storage and we have lots of play food/dishes. I wish IKEA would have accompanying pieces like a fridge or pantry. We're still searching for something to serve that purpose.
