THANK YOU!
NOW IT’S TIME TO PUT IT TOGETHER!
Thank you for choosing the Melissa & Doug Chef’s Kitchen! It’s a terrific way to help nourish a child’s
creativity and imagination, and to inspire budding chefs to hone their craft for years to come.
Don’t worry, assembling your new kitchen is simple, and we’re here to help. It may go a little faster with a
partner to lend a hand, but we’ve made it so one person can assemble the kitchen. Here are a few tips
before you begin:
Retain these instructions for future reference.
Warning: Prevent Tip Overs!
• Do not allow children to pull, climb, sit, or stand on any part of the kitchen.
• Never place computers, televisions, or other heavy objects on top of the kitchen.
• The kitchen must be placed on a hard, flat, and level surface.
• If placing the kitchen next to a wall, we recommend applying the stabilizing strap.
• If placing the kitchen away from a wall, we recommend applying the stabilizing feet.
• For more information on how to prevent furniture tip overs in your home visit AnchorIt.gov.
• The kitchen must be assembled as instructed.
Ensure the kitchen continues to function properly and safely by regularly checking the hardware and
tightening when necessary.
• Read through all the instructions first.
• Clear a flat, covered space (carpeted is best) to lay out all the materials so everything is close at hand.
• You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, slotted screwdriver, and wrench to assemble the kitchen.
• The instructions include lots of helpful pictures—we show you, step-by-step, exactly how to align pieces
and parts for speedy and accurate assembly. Note that hardware needed for each step is shown in the
upper right corner of the page, each piece being added in a given step is highlighted in gray, and the
“assembled view” (what it looks like in the finished kitchen when the step is completed) is included in the
lower right corner of every page.
• In the instructions, the name of a part is followed by a letter or number in parentheses. This letter or
number corresponds to the sticker on the part, as well as the picture of the part shown on pages 2-4.
• Helpful hints are highlighted with a large exclamation point.
• If you have any questions, we’re here for you! Give our customer care team a call at 1-800-284-3948!

Helpful Hints and Tips
IMPORTANT: Barrel nuts and screws are
used to join the main wood panels together.
The barrel nuts have been properly aligned
at the factory to allow the screws to easily
join the panels. If any barrel nuts have
shifted during shipping, use a flat
screwdriver to realign them.
