Rated 4 stars as it is a reasonable product, reasonable price and serves its purpose.  If you are looking for a really nice pool table, this isn't it.  If you're looking for a nice table that looks good in the basement or family room, have kids/teenagers who like to shoot around, this will work very nicely.  It was actually not very difficult to put together and I had it all set up in about 2 hours.  You will need an extra set of hands as the table is very heavy.  The product came in good shape and the table itself is not hard to put  together, just heavy.  The pockets for the pool table are a little difficult to put in, but some persistence and you'll be fine.  So, if you're a pool shark, this isn't for you.  If you want to have some simple pool games and have kids/teenagers who want to play pool/table tennis, this is a nice product.
