I think I would honestly rate the table a 4. It's a good table - don't get me wrong. Very sturdy and solid. It is also solid wood, but it has a laminate or some other type of coating around it. Installation was simple enough. I decided to rate 5 stars because of the service. When I first got my table, the box and the table had both been damaged, plus I was missing have the hardware. They shipped another table to me in less than a few days. I was quite pleased with the service.
