Summary
A kitchen set for Barbie, made from plastic decorated with paper stickers. It consists of a cream cupboard unit and a pink microwave, and various accessories. The expected contents are listed on the box, but most of these are missing. All that remain are a pale orange chicken and a towel and oven glove made from looped pink, nylon fabric. The unit is designed to look like a dresser (the plastic is moulded with a textured look to resemble wood) and has a large cupboard with two doors in the bottom half and shelves above. The microwave is pink with a clear plastic door and white turntable. The box is made in one piece from colour-printed cardboard. It has the ' Barbie' logo and 'Kitchen Accents' in English, French, German and Italian. There are two yellow price stickers on the box. One, crossed through reads 'Preedy £4.99', the other reads 'Preedy £3.00'. Total number of items is 10.
