Kit’s Cookstove
Item# F6583
Kit uses this stove to help Mother cook for the family. It’s perfect for making big meals—the faux-marbleized enamel top gives her a place to keep bowls of produce handy. The doors above the stove really open, and a play temperature gage lets Kit know how hot the stove is inside. Girls can open the firebox door to see the pretend wood fire glow. $68

Awesome Cyber Monday Sale:
Let's not harbor any fantasies here, the sucker is made of plastic. A smooth, lightweight shinny plastic. The main colors are light blue and a shade of ivory. The marble counter top is a very faux shade of rose-tint marble.
The oven comes in two pieces, which come together in about two minutes. I have not yet tired to take it apart again but it seems like that would be a difficult process. Due to the unattractive state of the cook stove's backside, keep it close against the wall.
The cook stove as a lot of potential storage place, which is what made me want to get the thing in the first place. It seems like it can store at least Kit's Produce and Preserves set and her holiday treats stuff. The top self is big enough to display a couple of bowls along with some cooking supplies.
The cookstove with Kit's produce/preserves, Kit's holiday treats, Kirsten holiday treats and the cans from Kit's hobo accessories. The bottom storage could use a little space, but everything has a place on top of the stove.
American Girl, seriously?
By 1934 a formally wealthy family in a big city would had owned an electric stove. Furthermore, this picture would even make the most innocent little girl go REALLY? :
Other than the so-fake fire the cook stove does have some realistic details. The door has a small temperature gage reader. Not very detailed but the thought is there. Also, the cook stove has some pretty little details like the embossed flowers along the stove.
The stove top. It would had been really cool if the lids were removable like old iron ovens but alas.
Kit looking at her new cook stove. Kit is slightly taller than the cook stove and it is scaled to her size.
Kit, the cook stove, the washing machine and the desk to show size range. All three are very study pieces of furniture but unlike the desk, the cook stove is more likely to stand up to some very heavy cooking playtime.
I'm glad that I waited for Cyber Monday. Things worth $68 are Samantha's bike and Kirsten's holiday treats, this stove is just not in their league. The storage ability and display quality are worth the price of probably $58 and under but don't pay full price.
A for awesome sale price B- for full price.
