I probably would have given this 4.5 stars. The quality and appearance are exactly what I was looking for. The table is heavy and sturdy, looks slightly distressed- Definitely in the "rustic farmhouse" category. The only thing wrong was that when I was assembling it, one of the holes where the top attaches wasn't completely bored through, so my husband had to drill through before we could put it together. Another annoyance with the packaging was that straps were stapled with about a dozen heavy-duty staples to the underside of the table. They were a big pain to get out. What should have been a 15-minute assembly took 45 minutes or an hour.
