Built for real play whilst maintaining style in your garden: The Maxi model includes a double sink for the mixing & pouring of multiple mud pies, four ring hob with dials which all individually spin, two wooden frying pans, two taps with rotating handles, a utensil rack and a flower pot shelf with flower pots.
