Selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the most notable books of 1991, Joyce Carol Oates's The Rise of Life on Earth is a memorable portrait of one of the "insulted and injured" of American society. Set in the underside of working-class Detroit of the '60s and '70s, this short, lyric novel sketches Kathleen Hennessy's violent childhood shattered by a broken home, child-beating, and murder and follows her into her early adult years as a hospital health-care worker. Overworked, underpaid, and quietly overzealous, Kathleen falls in love with a young doctor, whose exploitation of her sets the course of the remainder of her life, in which her passivity masks a deep fury and secret resolve to take revenge."Binding Type: Paperback

Overall very satisfied.
Color: Walnut
The TV stand is very simple to assemble and most people should be able to complete it in a little while, as several steps may require a second person. The unit itself is very sturdy and a little larger than I expected. The sliding "door" does require a little force to move, but furniture wax should do the trick nicely.

Beautiful quality made tv stand.
Color: Walnut
Beautiful TV stand. Easy to assemble. I took a chance on this stand matching the new end tables I got from a different store and manufacturer. They match perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the color of the wood, the quality construction and minimalist clean look. It looks great in my living room.
