The table is what it is: cheaper wood and not as sturdy. Overall, its a good table but dont leave your kids with it as it will wear out quickly. I keep the table in my girls room and they often move the chairs around and stand on them. This has caused 2 legs to break and I have had to take the time to make the repairs.
I made two of these, one for each child, and I have to say it was not entirely as easy as I would have expected. Im a pro with IKEA furniture, but this was a little trickier in spots. At one point, I ended up using my own ss because I couldnt get the flattipped ss they provided to go into the boards. The picture manual shows ss that were pointy, but that isnt what they provided. Also, if you accidentally overtighten the hardware securing the desktop to the base, it compromises the table top and pushes through, so be careful.
Look, if you are used to building things and are OK with improvising a little, this will not be a big deal. If you want an easy build and have zero tolerance for annoying ss, this may not be the best set. It will test your patience.
NOTE: I have a child with sensory issues, and she did not like the feel of the back of the chair on her legs. It would be wise to invest in a chair pad if your kids will be sitting at this desk for any length of time, or if they are picky about things like that. I agree; that feature doesnt look cozy.
ALSO the latch on the inside of the cabinet is a bit sharp. I scraped (flesh shredded) myself on the plastic latch while putting something away in it once. Just a consideration for younger ones or clutzy adults, like me.
STILLI like this set. Its okay, and it works. It looks nice. I am not sad I bought it, but the design and parts could definitely be improved. For KidKraft, though, this was a bit subpar.

Legs are
I like the table. Perfect for my little guy. The only problem is that one of the legs to the table is shorter than the other legs.

Cute. BUTI think I got a used product or someone elses return. Poor packaging. Scratches and dents. Sad.
Perfect for a 5 year old

Has issues, still worth it.
