Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Rock 'n' Roll in America's Loudest CityDetroit Rock City is an oral history of Detroit and its music told by the people who were on the stage, in the clubs, the practice rooms, studios, and in the audience, blasting the music out and soaking it up, in every scene from 1967 to today. From fabled axe men like Ted Nugent, Dick Wagner, and James Williamson jump to Jack White, to pop flashes Suzi Quatro and Andrew W.

Detroit Rock City is an oral history of Detroit and its music told by the people who were on the stage, in the clubs, the practice rooms, studios, and in the audience, blasting the music out and soaking it up, in every scene from 1967 to today.

From fabled axe men like Ted Nugent, Dick Wagner, and James Williamson jump to Jack White, to pop flashes Suzi Quatro and Andrew W.K., to proto punkers Brother Wayne Kramer and Iggy Pop, Detroit slices the rest of the land with way more than its share of the Rock Pie.

Detroit Rock City is the story that has never before been sprung, a frenzied and schooled account of both past and present, calling in the halcyon days of the Grande Ballroom and the Eastown Theater, where national acts who came thru were made to stand and deliver in the face of the always hard hitting local support acts. It moves on to the Michigan Palace, Bookies Club 870, City Club, Gold Dollar, and Magic Stick -- all magical venues in America's top rock city.

Detroit Rock City brings these worlds to life all from the guys and dolls who picked up a Strat and jammed it into our collective craniums. From those behind the scenes cats who promoted, cajoled, lost their shirts, and popped the platters to the punters who drove from everywhere, this is the book that gives life to Detroit's legend of loud.

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.

Modern and sleek
Item Package Quantity: 1
I haven't assembled this yet but I'm really looking forward to using it as a nightstand - the style looks really sleek and modern and it seems like it'll fit perfectly in a small space. It's worth noting that it's made of particle board rather than solid wood, which is pretty standard at this price point, so just go in with that expectation. The design looks really clean and the storage shelf underneath is a practical bonus. Hoping it holds up well over time but based on first impressions and the overall look, I think it's going to be a really nice and affordable addition to the bedroom!

Decent looking but not very sturdy
Item Package Quantity: 1, Item Package Quantity: 1
This table looks pretty nice once it is fully assembled and I appreciated that all the parts were clearly labeled. There were no missing parts, and in fact there were some extras. That made the instructions easier to follow and helped speed things up. From unpacking everything to finishing assembly it took me around 30 minutes. There are a few quality issues though. The black finish feels very thin and started chipping around the screws while I was tightening them down. It does not seem like it will hold up very well over time if it already shows wear during assembly. The biggest issue is the stability. Even after tightening everything, the table still feels a little shaky. The set screws near the bottom base pieces do not stay tight for very long and kept loosening while I was putting it together. I assembled it by myself and the legs kept shifting and falling over because those connections would not stay secure. This is definitely easier if you have another person helping. The packaging also could have been better. The box had a lot of particle board dust and debris inside, so unpacking everything was a bit messy. The item description says it can hold up to 66 pounds, but after putting it together I personally would not trust it with anywhere near that much weight. I originally planned to use it for a small aquarium that weighs around 20 pounds, and even that made me uncomfortable once I saw how flimsy the table felt assembled. I think it is better suited for lightweight items and I'd only store something like a couple of books or a lightweight lamp or a couple of picture frames. Overall it is not terrible and it does look reasonably attractive, but the build quality does not really match the current fifty dollar price in my opinion. It should be priced lower. It works for light decorative use, but I would not expect anything especially sturdy or long lasting.
