We bought Liam's Kitchen from Willow Toys.

It was the best investment ever. It is hand made from real wood, it arrives fully assembled and has not batteries. These were all important to me. They are more expensive than the big box brands but the quality is exceptional and I anticipate this item will have a great resale value or be donated to a preschool and withstand years of use.
