Need help please...trying to decide on a toy kitchen for daughter. Any recomendations would be much appreciate?

I love the plastic ones for their easy of cleaning and lights and sounds. And also the fact that they come with cute accessories ect. However I feel that they are SOOO overpriced for their actual size. The "lifestyles" ones are the ones I've been looking at and I cant pick on I like. The huge walk in one is too big. They have a larger and a "regular" sized one sided version. I saw the smaller of the two at toysrus and it seemed miniscule up on the shelf. We are getting it for our daughter for xmas. She will b 1 1/2 at the time, so I obviously want something that can either grow with her; or I wont feel bad about replacing. I've also been looking at the wodden kitchen from kidkraft, the Large Pastel Kitchen. I am concerned about spending $200 now and then in 3-4 years having to replace it because it is in terrible condidtion. She isnt rough with things (yet) but who knows. And we often have friends with kids comming over and they would of course play with it. I also am thinking of going with a smaller plastic one for now just because of the general size of them. We have a lab puppy who's crate is currently taking up my dining room, which is where the kitchen will be until my daughter is much older (5-6). Are those small plastic "Lifestyle" ones a good buy in the end? I feel like they are SOO small that even as young as she is it wouldnt offer her much to do/play with. Any help???
