Updated by The Wooden Kitchen Sets team
Kitchen sets in Kenyan shops run from a few hundred shillings to more than thirty thousand. The gap looks confusing at first. But each price level buys a different kind of toy, and once you can see the levels side by side, the right one for your child is easier to pick.
| Small plastic sets | Under KSh 1,000 to KSh 5,000 |
|---|---|
| Full-size kitchens with lights and sounds | KSh 17,000 to KSh 26,000 |
| Our wooden kitchen set | KSh 18,999 |
| Delivered to a Nairobi door | KSh 19,699 in total |
What do kitchen sets cost in Kenya, type by type?
Kitchen sets in Kenya fall into five price levels, from small plastic tabletop sets to large multi-level wooden kitchens. Each level buys a different size of toy, a different number of parts and a different material. The table below shows the typical price of each level and what you usually get for it.
| Type of kitchen set | Typical price | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Small plastic tabletop set | Under KSh 1,000 to KSh 5,000 | A few pots, cups and a tiny stove for the table or floor |
| Tall plastic stand-up kitchen | KSh 6,000 to KSh 8,000 | A plastic unit about a metre tall, with many small pieces |
| Small wooden kitchen | KSh 10,000 to KSh 15,000 | A low wooden unit with a stove and sink, few extras |
| Full-size kitchen with lights and sounds | KSh 17,000 to KSh 26,000 | A tall unit with fridge, oven, sink and sounds, often imported |
| Large multi-level wooden kitchen | About KSh 31,000 | A wide wooden unit, sometimes built into a dollhouse |
The prices come from Kenyan online listings. They move with sales and stock, so treat them as a guide to each level rather than a fixed list.
Where does KSh 18,999 sit in that range?
KSh 18,999 puts our set near the lower end of the full-size kitchens with lights and sounds, and it is made of wood with its own pots and play food. So you get a full kitchen: fridge, microwave, stove, oven, hood, sink, phone and storage.
Compared with the small plastic sets, you are paying for size and for parts that open, light up and sound. Against the biggest wooden kitchens, which cost about KSh 12,000 more, you still get a set that is 90 cm high.
What is the price at your door in each town?
The price at your door is KSh 18,999 for the set plus delivery, and only the delivery part changes from town to town. In Nairobi that is a flat KSh 700. In nearby towns we confirm the fee on WhatsApp, and in other towns you pay your chosen courier at their own rate.
| Where you live | Kitchen set | Delivery | Total at your door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nairobi | KSh 18,999 | KSh 700 | KSh 19,699 |
| Thika and other nearby towns | KSh 18,999 | Confirmed on WhatsApp | KSh 18,999 plus that fee |
| Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and other towns | KSh 18,999 | Your courier's own fee | KSh 18,999 plus the courier fee |
How each town pays is set out in delivery and payment across Kenya. Our town guides for Mombasa, Kisumu and Eldoret show the courier route and the hand-over in each. Before you compare prices between shops, our 10-point checklist for choosing a kids kitchen set shows what to look for in any listing.
What do you get for KSh 18,999?
- A fridge with a water dispenser
- A microwave and buttons that light up and play cooking sounds
- A stove with turning knobs, and an oven below it
- A range hood, a sink with a tap and a telephone
- Cupboards with opening doors and a large storage basket
- Gold pots, pans and lids, a spatula, a spoon, tongs, other utensils and play food
That list matters when you compare prices. Every pot, utensil and piece of play food is in the box, so the price on the box is the price of everything your child plays with.
How much does the kitchen set cost per year of play?
The kitchen set costs about KSh 3,800 per year of play, because the recommended age runs from 3 to 8. Spread over those five years, KSh 18,999 works out at roughly KSh 320 a month. That is less than one small toy a month, for a full kitchen with nine parts.
The sum gets better with brothers and sisters. A younger sibling who turns 3 can take over the same kitchen, so the same shillings carry a second child through the same stages.
Why do wooden kitchen sets cost more than plastic ones?
Wooden kitchen sets cost more than plastic ones because wood costs more as a material, and a wooden unit is heavier to build, pack and carry to your town. The price difference also reflects size: a wooden kitchen with a fridge, oven and sink is a large piece of play furniture.
Our wooden vs plastic comparison sets out what the two materials mean for play, point by point.
Are there extra costs after you pay KSh 18,999?
The only extra cost after KSh 18,999 is delivery: KSh 700 in Nairobi, or your courier's own fee elsewhere in Kenya. Nothing needs to be bought before the first game, because the pots, utensils and play food come in the box with the kitchen and are ready to use on the day it arrives.
