More like a 3.5. I love the look and multi-functionality of this furniture piece. It provides the extra seating we needed and tables for snacking while watching tv or a buffet table for guests. The delivery was smooth and it arrived earlier than expected. However, my husband HATED the assembly and almost wanted to return the item out of frustration. Several pre-drilled holes were missing and pieces did not align properly - luckily he is handy and was able to figure it out. There is a slight crack and a corner was damaged (both I fixed with modge podge, wood glue, and furniture markers). But after the hassle my husband went through to assemble all the pieces and my satisfaction for the quality and function of it as a whole, I am able to overlook the flaws and enjoy the use of this set in our home.
