What reviewers say

Gymax Dual-Sided Kids Play Kitchen

Owners of Gymax wooden play kitchens generally like the furniture-like look and the interactive features, and say children play with them for long stretches. The common complaints are long assembly times, instructions that are hard to follow, and particle board that feels less solid than expected.

What people mention
  • AssemblyCriticisedOwners say building it takes hours and the instructions are not always clear.
  • Build qualityMixedThe engineered wood feels solid assembled, but edges can chip and water spills are a risk.
  • SizePraisedThe tall frame and wide footprint give children room to stand and play side by side.
  • Sound and lightsPraisedThe electronic effects keep younger children engaged longer than a plain wooden set.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a small room?
The Hivvago. It is about half an inch narrower and 3.5 inches shorter, and its fabric bins tuck away. The Gymax needs a bit more wall space.
Which has more to play with out of the box?
The Hivvago. It lists 19 accessories and two removable fabric bins. The Gymax listing names no accessories, so expect to add play food and pots yourself.
Does either one make sounds?
Only the Gymax lists sound effects alongside its lights. The Hivvago lists lights only, with two LED color options.
Which is sturdier?
Both use engineered wood at around 40 lbs, so build is comparable. The Hivvago adds stainless steel and plastic parts. Neither is solid wood.
Is the Gymax worth stepping up to?
Only if you want sound effects and a larger unit. The Hivvago gives you more accessories and storage, and its warranty terms are not stated, so check with the seller.
What batteries do they take?
The Gymax takes AAA batteries. The Hivvago takes 3 AA batteries. Neither includes them.
