Is it bad design to join 5 tables?

the whole idea is to reduce the size of data that is stored, if you have 5 tables that are normalised and dont produce any duplicated information then it is quite all right to use a query that joins the five tables to get the dynamic information

I have a database Where I will need to join 5 tables in order to get all the information I want.  Is that a problem with my relational database, or is it OK?

Like paul said, as long as these tables should really exist separately, you're probably ok
