Chad Valley Wooden Mud Kitchen Reviews
5/5 BH4 'Bought for my 3yo but equally as loved by my 6yo. Easy to build and lasting well. Really good value for money!'5/5 Gemma 'I bought this for my 2 and 3 year old for Christmas and they love it. One thing I will say is if you’re leaving this outside, treat the wood asap as sadly I didn’t & it was outside for 3 weeks in the rain and snow, and the wood expanded and split on the door therefore it doesn’t shut. Grandad will fix it though! ☺️'
5/5 Tink 'Bought as a gift very happy'
5/5 Abbydait 'The wood are sturdy! Its just a perfect for my boys to be honest!'
5/5 Tom 'Bought this for Christmas present'
1/5 Jools 'Insufficient instructions, holes missing for fittings and all round poor fit. This was the 2nd attempt as the first one had to be returned. The only reason we kept it was because a 2 & 4 year old had seen it & were upset when we said we were taking it back.'
4/5 Tatyana 'In my opinion, this is the best model of Mud kitchen. But to my great regret, our kitchen arrived damaged and repaired in two places on the work surface. I have great doubts that this kitchen will last a long time.'
5/5 Nanny Sonia 'I bought this for my granddaughters birthday. Easy assembly. Well made & solid. Great price'
5/5 TinaC 'Lovely item. Good value for money. Enough to keep them occupied. So far looks sturdy enough to stand up to a couple of years play at least'
4/5 Hales07 'My kids love this. Not too bad to build. The magnet doesn’t keep the door shut which is why it didn’t get 5 stars'
1/5 Mrs bee 'Pieces missing, poor quality with pieces of wood split. Argos refused send replacement Pieces and I'm unable to return the item to store. Very poor /rude service online. Never had a problem that can't be resolved with Argos, but this purchase (loss) has put me right off using them again. My advice would be you get what you pay for. Go somewhere else for better quality and better customer service.'
5/5 R0123 'I bought this for my grandson and he absolutely loves it. It takes a little while to build but worth it.'
5/5 Ad 'The first one I ordered ended up having 2 missing parts so I urge everyone to check all the parts are there before you so anything!! It was easily resolved. The replacement was easy enough to build, the hardest part was probably trying to get the door and magnet to line up. My kids are very happy with it and it'll last a long time.'
5/5 pollyb 'Easy to assemble. Well made and sturdy.'
5/5 Hannah 'I bought this for my two year olds birthday. He's played with it every day since and loves it'
5/5 Teen 'I bought this for my grandsons 4th birthday , we built it to give to him It took my husband about an hour and a half to assemble everything was clearly labelled , easy to put together he said Required a few tools So much bigger than I was expecting , ample room for two children to play Very heavy and seems very well made , would totally recommend after looking at others this was the best'
5/5 gilly 'Bought this for my 3 year old grandson it's so big he absolutely loves it and equal quality would have cost so much more. Fantastic value really happy with purchase'
5/5 Hex 'My grandson loved it'
2/5 Sarah 'It’s an ok mud kitchen for the price however when it came some of the wood was already split. It didn’t fit together properly none of the holes matched where it should fit together ended up drilling more holes. The door doesn’t shut as it was the wrong size and the back panel also didn’t fit. If it was me on my own I would not have been able to put it together.'
5/5 1234 'A decent little mud kitchen. The kids love it'
5/5 Lou22 'I bought for grandsons birthday fantastic little mud kitchen and at a great price with £50 off'
1/5 Henry IX 'Bought this for my sons birthday. Instructions were clear and looked pretty simple. Alas whilst putting it together it was evident that the parts hadn’t been correctly cut, holes drilled and the overall alignment was off. Thought it was me so took it apart a number of times and even got the tape measure out and confirmed it was off. Had to make my own holes to secure it. Would have returned for a refund but my son had his heart set on it and we didn’t want to take on that battle.'
5/5 SM 'My 2.5 yr old lovely this, goes into her own world. Great addition to her toys'
4/5 Manda 'This is the second one I’ve bought (due to moving house) and whilst I really like the product, and it’s easy enough for one person to assemble, the quality isn’t as good as I’d like for the money. On both the kitchens I’ve bought the door came warped and doesn’t shut properly. Also, despite having painted the kitchen with fence/shed paint and covering the item during bad weather the hobs and knobs also warp and split over time. Overall I really like the product but it’s definitely worth being aware of its faults.'
5/5 ele 'All my grandchildren -aged 1-6 really enjoy playing with the mud kitchen'
5/5 Bev 'I bought this for my granddaughters birthday, she absolutely loves it. Lots of accessories and a good price.'
3/5 CathP 'Really nice little mud kitchen, my toddler has been playing with it constantly since we got it however to say it’s for outside the wood isn’t treated at all so we’ve had to buy a cover for it until we get round to treating the wood which is a bit faffy to be totally honest, never the less it looks nice and is sturdy'
2/5 NannieRie 'I bought this for 3 year old grandson, who was delighted with it However there a huge split across the top, down the side panel and two of discs are warped. This was one of most expensive mus kitchen, I hoped it be of strong quality Definitely will need yaught varnis on to protect it'
5/5 Mum 'Bought this for my grandson’s birthday. Needed two people to put it together, would have been harder and taken longer with just one person. All the screw holes were in the right place and the instructions were simple to follow. Great looking sturdy outdoor mud kitchen'
5/5 lib 'my grandson twins love this kitchen'
5/5 moses 'Bought this for grandsons 1st birthday and older siblings enjoy playing with it'
4/5 MJ19 'the kitchen was not too difficult to put together, except for the warped door, which we got changed. Really happy three year old has played with it pretty much every day for a fortnight. Waiting to see how it survives the winter.'
5/5 Kaybear 'We bought this for our Grandson’s third birthday, he loves making mud pies . Sure it will give him and his sisters hours of fun !!'
1/5 Jan 'Wish I hadn't bothered and it should go back except little one wants it still even though nothing fits right woods split and door catch dont stay shut. Total waste of money'
5/5 Jules 'Bought this for my grand daughter. She loved it.'
3/5 Mykey 'I bought this for my grandson. It comes with a set of kitchen tools and a couple of pans. The only disappointing feature is that the instructions say not to leave it out in the rain. Surely that's exactly what you would want to do with a mud kitchen. When it arrived I could see that the wood wasn't particularly good and so I treated it with preserver before assembling. Assembly was made easier by the little lettered stickers on the pieces. Several pieces were a similar shape and size and so it would be easy to get them mixed up. There are over 70 screws.'
4/5 Chrissyanne 'Unsure of how the flat pack kitchen would turn out, I was quite impressed when assembled. Luckily I have a DIY savvy husband . Took quite a while to assemble as we chose to weather proof the wood. Each piece dealt with twice before assembly. Spending time doing this was worth it. The grandchildren age 6 and 3 love it and haven't stopped playing with it.'
5/5 Nancy 'Brought this kitchen for my 6 year old dearer and 3 year old son. I am so glad with the outcome. My partner painted it with weatherproof varnish and it has lasted longer. Protected in the rain with no cover. Kids adore this kitchen. Hours of fun and they get to play role play together.'
3/5 JakeGeorge87 'Purchase the item as a first birthday present. The price is very good by comparison to similar items elsewhere, but the wood is very soft and was splitting when screwing pieces together. Some of the panels already had small splits in, and one of the side panels was bowed out of shape. Despite this I was still able to build the unit (doing night before the big day so didn't have chance to negotiate a replacement) and whilst it looks great, I am not sure it will stand the test of time due to these structural weaknesses.'
5/5 Kay 'I bought this for my daughters who are 2 & 4 years old. They absolutely love it and spend a lot of time making flower soup and mud cupcakes. Easy to build and good quality. I would suggest treating the wood for it to last if leaving outside. Definitely recommend!'
5/5 Jonny 'We bought this for my daughter and she has loved it. She has spent hours in the garden playing, it's been great entertainment for her'
5/5 cat009 'i bought this for my grand daughter and she loves it great quality and accessories to go with it are great'
5/5 Nanny 'I bought this for my grandson and he is having so much fun playing with it'
5/5 Jaren119 'I bought this about a month ago for my two granddaughters who are five and two. They adore it and play outside with it come rain or shine, my daughter really loves it has two sinks , so less fighting and turn taking! Would definitely recommend it as it’s sturdy and well put together and will last a very long time'
4/5 sprog 'I bought this a few weeks ago for my Granddaughters birthday. It's very sturdy and she absolutely loves it. I would recommend some sort of rain cover if it's staying outside.'
4/5 Chelseac 'Great little mud kitchen. Unfortunately came with wrong instructions. After finding correct ones online, it was easily enough to put together.'
5/5 Vicki 'Bought this for our grandsons birthday He absolutely loves it Really good and sturdy perfect for the garden'
2/5 Smh32 'It came with parts missing and took an hour to put together as the wood had warped. Complained and got some money back. Definitely not worth the price it’s at. But we have primed and painted it as previous reviews suggested which has helped it look better and it’s stored under a rain cover outside for extra protection. Child still loves it anyway.'
5/5 Chris H 'Bought it for my daughters birthday and she absolutely loves it'
1/5 Cass 'This came in packaging that I believe had been rejected by a previous purchaser. Not worth the money. I don't think I will buy anything else from Argos.'
5/5 Becky 'My six year old loves his mud kitchen although he wanted no mud. We have found lots of other things to use and it’s really developing his focus and pretend play'
5/5 Holly2020 'Bought this as an outdoor kitchen for my one year old and he absolutely loves it! Read that you must put a coat of ronseal over it and so far it has been brilliant. Highly recommend.'
5/5 Kirst 'Really strong model mud kitchen for my 7 year old's birthday'
5/5 Steve 'Keeps the grandkids happy for hours'
4/5 Beccan05 'My son’s, aged 2 & 4 love this kitchen! I’ve been looking for one for a while and decided to use Argos as they had a promotion and I was able to use Nectar points towards my purchase. It was pretty straightforward to put together (I’m no DIY expert!) although I found that some of the pieces didn’t align properly. It’s a lot bigger than I expected too! The little accessories that come with it are a nice touch too. I gave it 3 coats of outdoor paint and also bought a medium BBQ cover to ensure that it has a better chance at surviving Welsh weather! Thanks Argos!'
4/5 Nana Deb 'Bought a few weeks ago for a 2nd Birthday gift! Took a little while to assemble but at the "unveiling" on the day was met with excited faces and the little ones immediately spent a good 40 mins "making soup, pies and cakes"! A lot bigger than expected. Unfortunately the door doesn't quite close properly so need to have another look to determine the reason.'
5/5 spike 'Although this kitchen took over an hour to assemble it is of good quality and looks as good as many of the 'designer’ style products.'
4/5 Steph 'Got this for my sons 2nd birthday. It won’t be for mud but it’s for real food e.g. pasta, rice, lentils. He absolutely loves it. Only slight issue is the door won’t close as not everything lines up but my son doesn’t care! I stained it with ronseal clear stain all over and got a bbq cover to preserve it even longer.'
5/5 AGS 'Really happy with this product. The children spend ages playing with this. It's fun and educational at the same time. Disappointed that the piece with the chad valley sign came upside down but on complaining to Argos I received £35 back. I painted it due to the reviews stating that it needed priming and painting in order to be left outside and I love it even more!!!'
5/5 Hannah5273 'Lovely kitchen, great price, looks nice in the garden'
5/5 Shipou 'So pleased with this kitchen. Bought last minute as forgot. Was looking at up to £800 for a similar one. Cannot fault the build and quality of this. We hve painted ours and the kids love it. Highly recommend'
4/5 Groovy mud kitchen 'I would have awarded 5 stars but we found the top board was slightly warped and the door hangs at an angle, but apart from that this is a good mud kitchen for the price. The wood is not treated so we applied a couple of coats of wood preserve and it looks quality our 21 month old loves it. Only time will tell how is will handle the British weather but we have bought a cover for the winter months. It comes with a load of accessories which is good also.'
5/5 Icelander 'Bought this for my grand-daughter a few weeks ago. Easy to assemble with a lot of “extras”. Good value for money - I could not make it cheaper from scratch.'
5/5 RogerD 'A versatile items, to have outdoors, to facilitate i,aginative play'
4/5 Nat B 'My girls aged 2&4 love it. It must be treated/painted before stored outside but is easily done with Danish oil. It's large, check the dimensions before ordering. Youngest cannot reach utensil hooks, nowhere near. We are never the less glad to have it.'
5/5 JT 'Very pleased with this, easy to build good quality and great price. Children played indoors untill outdoor space was ready.'
5/5 Vazza 'I bought this as a present for my granddaughter and I’m sure she will be loving it.'
5/5 Lise 'My girls absolutely loved there new mud kitchen, easy to put up we just had a little struggle getting the door to stay shut'
5/5 Armk 'Bought for Birthday huge success, playing out for ages making pud pies.... Brilliant fun'
5/5 This product is good value. Sturdy construction. Looks great. If leaving outdoors I suggest using wood preserver first. I found it easier to to do before constructing the kitchen. 'Fun'
5/5 Great! Only had it a week and my daughter is loving it! 'Fun'
5/5 Lalla 'Easy to construct. Pots and pans are included. It looked even better when painted and will be more weather resistant too.'
5/5 Tc 'Great price, nice size, two sinks is a must for multi child families. Easy to assemble but suggest some treatment or painting is required for outside use in order to protect the (untreated) wood. Easily and affordably done with some varnish or Danish oil!'
5/5 ros 'My grandchildren has had great fun in the garden painted it ?.and all the accessories included'
5/5 Shaunie 'Amazing mud kitchen. Would definitely buy again for a family member'
1/5 A mud kitchen should be suitable for play where water is involved 'Fun'
5/5 Sunny 'My 3 daughters aged 1-5 love this mud kitchen - it has everything they want, was easy to assemble and seems sturdy'
5/5 Clare 'Put together very easily and quickly. Leo and Bella absolutely love it. Only thing we are going to do is varnish before we put outside.'
5/5 Notsooldldfogey 'Bought this as a birthday present for my nephew. Fitted together well with 2 people doing the building. Instructions are clear and parts are labelled. Sturdy and solid when built. Child loves it and has played in the garden happily making mud pies. Kitchen tools and bowls are well made and will last. Easy to clean. Would recommend.'
5/5 Angie 'Children love it, thats all that matters, it needs sealed as wood is not treated,'
5/5 LizB 'Really pleased with this mud kitchen, bought it as a present for my god daughter, fairly easy to put together, instructions could do with a little improvement but got there in the end.'
5/5 Si 'Relatively simple to build and good value compared to others we considered. Kids seem happy with it, which I guess is pretty important too. Looks strong enough to take the inevitable battering'
5/5 Fee 'Good quality mud kitchen.'
4/5 This was easy to assemble 'Fun'
5/5 Grandad 'Well made, easy to put together - can't wait to see the grandchildren's faces!'
5/5 This is a fantastic toy. Great for imaginative play for little ones. Very good size and strong so won’t topple over. Buying was easy I did click and collect as it wasn’t available for delivery in my area but that was quick and easy to use. Very pleased would definitely recommend. 'Fun'
4/5 Not as solid as I thought 'Fun'
5/5 Brilliant product for my 2 year old nieces birthday. 'Fun'
5/5 This was a solid 'Fun'
4/5 I am sure my Grand Daughter will love this Christmas Morning!! 'Fun'
5/5 The kids instantly loved this! It looks great on our balcony 'Fun'
5/5 Really good quality for the price 'Fun'
4/5 Good sturdy unit that will give the kids many happy hours. 'Fun'
3/5 For a kitchen that is outside the wood is terrible. It’s split in 2 different places bowed in another. It’s only 3 months old. Not happy with the quality of this product 'Fun'
5/5 Easy instructions. Requires two people to assemble. Oven door was a bit tricky and had to use a drill to make aligning holes so it would open and close. We painted it with Cuprinol as it is soft untreated wood. Sturdy yet easy to move around in the garden if required. 'Fun'
2/5 The quality of this product is on par with Argos' customer service at the moment (substandard). The design is okay 'Fun'
5/5 Great Mud Kitchen 'Fun'
4/5 Bought for my grandchildren 'Fun'
3/5 The door need planing to get it to fit properly and close. The black hobs have lifted. I think they absorbed the rain 'Fun'
5/5 Amazing quality and so worth the price compared to others I looked at 'Fun'
