We thought about it a lot before buying it because it is expensive. In the end, it is probably the best "store" among the wooden ones on the market in terms of its price. It has many extras (wooden fruits, a machine, a scale, a clock, a chalkboard) that can also function as separate learning toys. My children (2 and 3.5 years old) play for a long time and work together as "shopkeepers," so I found something that creatively engages them and keeps them busy together. The same applies to their friends. Oh, it also doubles as a café and a storage space!
