I was generous with a 4. But, in certain instances I could see how it would be perfect. It is very small, so did not work in our entry way. Additionally, it is very country white. It was too unassuming for our entryway, so I put it against a wall in our living room, which is a way better use. So, if you have a SUPER small entryway, this works. If you have a living room with some small wallsspaces, this works. I am going to paint mine a cleaner white and then put brushed gold furniture caps on the bottom of the legs.
