The tea set is very cute but TINY! Be sure to look at the dimensions on the description to make sure this is what you are looking for.
I bought this tea set for Christmas 2008 for my granddaughter, and was extremely happy with the quality and play value. She absolutely loves it. As you can see, the basket is pictured with a tab and closing clasp. About two weeks ago, I ordered another for my other granddaughter, and the basket did not have any kind of closure. I thought this was a manufacturing defect, reported it to Amazon, and they immediately sent me a replacement (I love Amazon), which also did not have any kind of closure. I called Kidkraft, the manufacturer, to ask them for a replacement basket, and was informed that the tea set is now made without a closing tab for “safety reasons”. This does not make sense as any other child tea set you see with a basket has some way of securing the contents inside. I feel Kidkraft changed the design to save money. When I informed the rep that the box the set arrived in still has the tab basket pictured on it, she said they probably want to use up their old boxes. Bottom line….my Amazon replacement is going back, too. I am very disappointed to have to do this, as the cups, utensils, etc. are adorable and sturdy, but the basket to hold all these items is now worthless.
I bought this for a friend’s daughter who was turning 2. I was hesitant at first because I thought she was too young. Not true! She loves it and has a tea party every day. The porecelin is very durable. The pieces are nice and big so she can handle them. The only thing is the spoons that come with is are a little on the small side and she immediately put them in her mouth and could have choked. So I would say if the child is still young enough where she puts everything in her mouth, hold back the spoons until she is old enough or supervize her very carefully while she plays with it.
