🔧 DIY Tips
Assembling a toy kitchen yourself? Here's what helps:
🔧 What you'll need
- Allen keys (usually included)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Maybe a rubber mallet
- Patience (lots of it)
- Space to spread out
📐 Assembly tips
- Check all parts before starting
- Group similar hardware together
- Don't fully tighten until aligned
- Fit doors last after frame is stable
- Adjust hinges if doors don't close
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Parts fitted backwards (check twice)
- Overtightening (cracks wood)
- Skipping steps (have to undo)
- Starting too late (takes longer than expected)
💡 Pro trick: If doors don't close properly, the hinges can usually be adjusted. Loosen, realign, retighten. Don't force them.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are toy kitchens hard to assemble?
Lots of parts, fiddly accessories, doors and hinges, sometimes lights and sounds. The big wooden ones from IKEA, Kidkraft, or similar can take 2+ hours even with experience.
Will the doors and drawers work properly?
That's why proper assembly matters. Misaligned hinges mean doors that don't close. We get them working smoothly and test everything.
Can you assemble it in secret for a surprise?
Yes - if you need it built before a birthday or Christmas and hidden. We can work while children are at school or arrange a time they're out.
What about the accessories - do you set those up too?
We assemble the kitchen itself. Accessories like pots, pans, and play food we'll unpack if requested, but that's usually a nice job for the child.
