How to help your kid navigate the college admissions process, month by month, girlfriend's-guide style.
So, your child is a high school junior. You've heard other parents with kids older than yours whisper the word "college" like it was a terminal disease. You've seen their taut, maniacal grins as they try to hold it together. The process of weathering and conquering the college admissions process with a teenager is a daunting affair for many. Advice will pour in through friends, your child's guidance counselor, and your mother's neighbor's cousin.

Thankfully, Jill Margaret Shulman, a college admissions coach, application evaluator, college writing instructor, essayist, author, and empathetic parent, is here to be your fiercest ally. She'll guide you through the entire crazy ritual that college admissions has become, month by month, breath by deep, cleansing breath, until you drop your kid off at college where she will ignore your phone calls and texts.
Come as you are -- whether chill or roiling with anxiety -- and Shulman, along with a platoon of experts and fellow parents, will help you maintain your strength and sense of self-worth, so easily lost somewhere between your teenager's screaming, "I hate you You're ruining my life " and typing your credit card number into the College Board's website for the twentieth time.
You've got college admissions cracked, and now, this book has got your back.

Excellent build quality, easy to set up
The stand is sturdy and heavy. As far as I can tell, the wood and metal are genuine and high quality. I had no issues with the base (or included controller stand) being unstable or wobbly. Both were rock solid. You can slide the controller stand left or right, but there's no height adjustment for the headphone stand. However most headphones should still fit just fine. Setup was very easy. There's a few screws to connect the parts but that's it, and there's really no way to put anything in the wrong spot. The controller stand doesn't physically attach to anything, but it does have little rubber feet to keep it from sliding around easily. Overall a very well-designed and aesthetically pleasing addition to my desk!

Beautiful looking
If your looking for a great holder that will hold you headphones and gaming control in one organized place as well as one that looks good and is very durable look no further. It came in a nice box and was easy to put together only took a couple of minutes with the included hex key and nuts.
