Milan Garden Shopping Centre Play Unit | Wood 90×29.8×116 cm

The problem with a market stall as a role play prop is that it needs to be approached from two sides, which means it has to stand in the middle of a room. Not every setting has that room to give.

This unit solves the same play need from against a wall. At 29.8 cm deep it takes barely more floor than a shelf, but the serving hatch and display shelves still create the front-and-back relationship that makes shop play work — the server tucks in at one end, the customer approaches the counter.

The 90 cm width gives enough counter for two children to serve simultaneously, which matters because shop play collapses when only one child can hold the interesting role.

Part of the Milan Garden range, so the finish and proportions match the range’s other units if a setting is building a coordinated role-play area rather than assembling odd pieces.
