In 2012 the Center for Land Use Interpretation acquired a set of seven rolodexes from the dispersed collection of former Los Alamos National Laboratory employee Ed Grothus, who operated a salvage company of lab cast-offs, known as The Black Hole. Now part of the Center's Radioactive Archive, the rolodexes contain thousands of business cards kept by some unknown office in the lab over the 1960s and 1970s--the peak of the arms race and its technological development. They are a physical record of everything from major military contractors to obscure high- and low-tech software widget suppliers-many of which are no longer extant, or have evolved. The selection of 150 cards may be viewed as a snapshot of synergies between the business community and America's atomic might. On the one hand, they are a direct indexical connection from the recent past to the sources of creating the most sophisticated and powerful national defense technologies in the world. On the other hand, they are obsolete information, relics of a former usefulness. As a specific printed historical record--superbly reproduced in full color--they are relevant to a potential understanding of the present; they are evocative evidence of the links that formed the secret technology of our nation.Binding Type: Hardcover

Notice it is not real wood!
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
Easy to put together.
The biggest complaint is it is not real wood. It looks like it is covered with contact paper!

Great addition to our kitchen. For something we walk by every day it was worth it to get a good quality one like this. Super well made and beautiful wood color in person.

Looks expensive. Wheels could be better.
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
This got RAVE reviews when I wheeled it into a neighbor’s Thanksgiving celebration. The guests thought it was WAY more expensive than I paid. That said, the wheels aren’t all that great; the cart got stuck going into and out of the elevator. I had to lift the cart to get it over the track. But overall, I really like it. One caution. Read the instructions carefully so that the wine racks fit. I didn’t assemble it correctly, and it became apparent when the wine racks would not fit. But I was able to quickly disassemble the necessary sections, and reassemble them quickly.

Price vs quality
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
Aside from the fact that it's beautiful ,price wise is very competitive.
We didn't want to occupy too much space in the living room so a bar cart seemed the best option.
And this one caught our eye. Easy to assemble, very sturdy and did I say beautiful ??
