Melissa & Doug Wooden Snacks and Sweets Food Cart - 40+ Play Food pcs, Reversible Awning

I bought this for my daughter for her 9th birthday. She is the rarity in this day in age, she likes playing pretend and using her imagination. She is not much into electronics. Because of this we buy her anything she wants (although these bigger items are left for Christmas and birthdays, unless she has done chorus and saved the money for in-between the holidays) because of this what do you get a girl that has everything?? She LOVES playing restaurant and she wanted something along those lines, so we searched Amazon and found this. I was a little hesitant about getting it because I didn’t know how cheap it was going to look/be. I was stunned by now NOT cheap looking it was. It is made exceptionally well, very sturdy. All the items included… the menu board-is printed on a thick plastic board (thick enough you can not bend), all the items/food- are solid (not hollow) through and through, the awning-good thickness, all the drawers and top sliding lid are very easy to open and close, AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT THE WHEELS ACTUALLY ROLL- smoothly EVERYTHING was made to last! I don’t know why I ever doubted ”Melissa & Doug” product 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ stupid me.All in all it is well worth the money! Not that I would ever wish something to cost more 😳 but I am surprised it wasn't more.Set up was fairly easy/moderate and took around 20 minutes for husband with the help of our daughter finding and handing him the next pieces. I think he did have to use his own tool though.BUY BUY BUY BUY you won't regret 🤩🤩

Absolutely love this play cart!! M&D products are always trustworthy and sturdy, no cheap wood or plastic parts here, all items are made with precision. We had seen this at a toy store locally, but the price tag was $250 and well out of our wallet reach. When shopping for a Christmas gift for our 3-yo daughter who loves playing with play food/kitchens, we came upon this on Amazon and at more than half-off.Cart was fairly easy to put together, took about 1.5 hours at midnight on Christmas Eve (!!). My daughter loves it, she "scoops" the ice cream cones and serves the popsicles and rings the bell when it's ready to serve. It's on the heavy side, so pushing this cart around the house may require adult help, just have to make sure you follow the instructions and loosen the wheels so they roll freely. Only "gripe" I had was one of the large screws did not have grooves for the screwdriver, so I needed a pair of pliers to twist it into the pre-drilled holes. Otherwise, this was easy to put together, just have to follow the instructions carefully.I highly recommend this for any parent whose child(ren) are into play foods. This will provide hours of pretend play time.

My 3.5 year old son saw this on display at a local toy store and I could not get him away from it! A whole store full of toys to play with and we couldn't get past this by the front door. Needless to say, I immediately went home and added it to his Amazon Wish List for Christmas. My husband decided to put it together Christmas Eve so he could play with it right away. I offered to help, but he said it was a "one man job". Well, I fell asleep on the couch and he emerged hours later finally finished! He said it was like building a piece of furniture. Like all Melissa & Doug products, this is well built and will last for years, but it will take a while to put together. My toddler loves it and it is one of the few toys my 13 year old son with play with him. My 5 year old niece couldn't stop playing with it when she visited. So, it's a hit for all ages. I love that it can be either an ice cream stand or hot dog stand! And, we have a very modern house and this sits prominently in our morning room because it's such a quality looking piece. After meals, we all order "ice cream" and our son loves that!

It came in excellent condition! My daughter is very happy with this toy, she uses ir everyday. Totally recommend.

This was, hands down, the most loved Christmas gift my kids (ages 6, 5, and 3) have ever received. It has tremendous play value!We have a nice 3pc play kitchen and tons of M&D play foods (the ice cream and condiments get the most use!), so we already knew "playing restaurant" was a common activity for all of our children. But this adds a whole new level of fun, without being redundant. They each LOVE taking orders and finding what we've requested in the drawers. The play foods are all adorable, especially the ketchup/mustard that appear to pour when tipped, and the twin-pop popsicles that velcro together. The compartments in the drawer are a nice feature, as the kids pick up after play and put things away nicely.Assembling the unit was slightly overwhelming, as there were more pieces than you might imagine. But once it was complete it functioned perfectly. Our 3yo is able to maneuver it around and operate the drawers easily. Flipping the signs (awning and front menu) is easy and fun, and they don't seem to show wear from constant switching. The awning is a bit low/short for the older kids, but they don't seem to mind.Overall I would enthusiastically recommend this to anyone! My kids absolutely LOVE this toy and I'm very pleased with it as well.
