Real wood VS. Fake wood


When looking for a wood kitchen set for our daughter's Christmas gift, we had a tough time finding any that weren't made from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which is often marketed as "wood", but is not actual real wood. Here is a link to an article about the dangers of MDF and the formaldehyde used in the glues that attach the layers of fiberboard. We kept searching and found this adorable and simple REAL WOOD kitchen set, that is made right here in the USA, made by Little Colorado (littlecolorado.com). Note that they also carry furniture made of MDF including other kitchens, so if you're looking for real wood, make sure you read the descriptions very carefully.
Happy cooking.
