serviceable
Adequate for use
Serviceable means adequate for its purpose—functional without being exceptional.
A serviceable car gets you where you need to go reliably.
A serviceable performance meets requirements without distinction.
The word carries a note of faint praise: The translation is serviceable but lacks poetry.
Something serviceable works well enough, even if it doesn't inspire.
