In November 1934, the Princeton football team--unbeaten in its last fifteen games--faced the 3-3 Yale Bulldogs, who gave new meaning to the term "underdogs." As much a thrilling play-by-play account of college football at its finest as it is a fascinating work of sports history, this book chronicles the season that brought Princeton and Yale together in a game like no other since. Football's Last Iron Men follows the teams from the hiring of future Hall of Fame coaches Fritz Crisler and Greasy Neale through spring practice to their annual clash on November 17. The Yale Elis, it seemed, had no chance. How those eleven players--who never left the game--stunned Princeton 7-0 is a chapter in football history. It was an era of 165-pound linemen, quarterbacks who called their own plays, and student athletes who earned no special treatment. But the story of Yale's Iron Men is also part of a larger history, for it took place during the Great Depression, when millions of struggling Americans found hope in the courage and grit of the team who wouldn't quit.

Mounting system doesn’t align on one of three shelves.
Color: Walnut, Size: 3 Pack
Nice shelves. Install was super easy except on one of the three shelves. The main mounting shelf holes were off so the shelf will not slip onto horizontal mounting poles unless I modify the shelf. So a 20 minute job becomes a two hour job. The mounting system does appear very sturdy just not aligned.

Great center piece for my gaming room
Size: 7.9"D x 39.4"W x 34.3"H, Color: White, Size: 7.9"D x 39.4"W x 34.3"H, Color: White
It’s quite large, but you can display a lot of your cool collectibles on it. It arrives in a nicely packaged box with instructions, although I found the instructions to be quite basic. Most people should be able to figure it out. Instead of following the instructions, I recommend forming the honeycomb structure on one side and then attaching it to your wall. Drill holes through the holes in the honeycomb, ensuring everything is level. Once the entire unit is assembled, one person can hang it on the wall. However, I suggest having a building partner. I attempted it alone and was straining my core while reaching on a ladder, which was probably not the wisest idea. The build quality appears to be very good, and I believe it will last for many years. The LED light colors are nice, though not as good as those on a razor, but they’re not bad for a third-party product. There are plenty of screws to install, with a couple of extra. Just for reference my computer screen in the g9 57 inch that’s how big this shelf unit is. Holds up to 120 lbs

Will probably buy another one!

Looks great, LED strip is a nice touch. The unit is relatively lightweight while still being quite sturdy. There were a lot of parts and it took some time to assemble, but the instructions were very clear - just step-by-step drawings but everything was labeled clearly. I was pleasantly surprised that the hardware that is used to put it together is better than you’ll often find with low-cost shelving and furniture too, which gives you confidence while assembling. Just don’t over-tighten anything to avoid cracking or stripping the parts.

Nice product, wall mounting could be easier
Size: 7.9"D x 39.4"W x 34.3"H, Color: White
Easy to put together, nice finish. Missing a star cause mounting it to the wall is a lil more difficult than it should be. I would never use the wall anchors to mount this
