Closer to 3.5 stars, I think.  Looks fine from afar, but it looks cheaper than I'd expected.  

The other reviewer tipped me off that the item is not solid black.  It is mostly matte black but on some areas, especially the top of the tray lip and handle, there is what looks to be a ton of gold/copper scratches.  It's just a metallic paint effect, because the finish feels  smooth, but it ends up just looking scratched up, and this effect is applied unevenly across the piece.   The black base paint is also unevenly applied - you can see bumps along the edges where the paint pooled in drips. 

The piece feels a little more lightweight than I expected, with a bit of a wobble that could probably be fixed with a small sticky felt pad on the bottom. 

It's the exact right size for the spot I had intended, though. I'm still debating whether to send it back.
