In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, with Clare Aukofer, offers a succinct yet comprehensive study of how and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time--that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man--not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.

Fairly stable. Good value for the price
Size: 16 Inch, Size: 16 Inch
Great set of stands. You have to tighten them pretty snugly to minimize wobble. Given they are metal they’ll have a little bit more give than solid wood. Even so, a tall desk I built with them remains stable and level.

I love it!!!
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Easy to assemble, all the pieces were in the box. I set everything out to be sure. Instructions were easy and clear, took about 10 min to put together. Seems to be quality pipe, strong stable build even at just hand tight. When I put the desk top on it was already level so bonus there. This kit is a great value, before I found the M desk I was looking on Pinterest for pipe leg designs thinking a trip to the hardware store and I could make it for cheaper, which was not the case. I 100% will recommend, and will purchase again.

Real steel pipe
Size: O Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
This pipe table leg set was great. It's real steel pipe like from the hardware store. It does have a layer of oil on it so that must be stripped using dawn or some other degreaser before handleing and painting. It is also offset in the middle bar so if you use it as a desk you get more leg clearance. I used it as a table base so I bought matching middle braces to set the middle support in the center of the table. Once together it looks great. I highly recommend getting this if you want a good quality pipe base.
