Abbey masterfully combined journalistic and artistic vision to transform everyday moments in transportation into magical photographs.

From the late 1940s on, Wallace W. Abbey masterfully combined journalistic and artistic vision to transform everyday moments in transportation into magical photographs. Abbey, a photographer, journalist, historian, and railroad industry executive, helped people from many different backgrounds understand and appreciate what was often taken for granted: a world of locomotives, passenger trains, big-city terminals, small-town depots, and railroaders. During his lifetime he witnessed and photographed sweeping changes in the railroading industry from the steam era to the era of diesel locomotives and electronic communication. Wallace W. Abbey: A Life in Railroad Photography profiles the life and work of this legendary photographer and showcases the transformation of transportation and photography after World War II. Featuring more than 175 exquisite photographs in an oversized format, Wallace W. Abbey is an outstanding tribute to a gifted artist and the railroads he loved.

Nice to have
Size: 3 Tier Black-31.5"W
This cart is nice for party. It is easy to assemble and use for multi-purposes. The best part is it has wheel and makes it so easy to move the cart around and hall things in/out for part or gathering. The 3 tiers make space for can carry a lot of items in the cart all at once. The quality is very good. Is just a very useful cart to have in the house.

Sturdy
Size: 5.9"D, Color: Rustic White + Honey Brown
Works great, rolls well. Well put together, pieces fit, not lopsided, does not feel like it will shake apart in a second. Fits all the laundry detergent bottles I need, although I don’t use the jumbo sizes. It is antique white, looks a bit distressed; while I like it, it may not fit everyone’s decor so take a good look at the picture.

Perfect cart Perfect fit !!
Size: 5.9"D, Color: Rustic White + Honey Brown, Size: 5.9"D, Color: Rustic White + Honey Brown
Put this cart together a few days ago. It took me, alone, about an hour. I’d say this cart is extremely well made!! Good to follow the instructions. Made assembly very easy. The frame and wheels are very stable and rolls very smoothly. Holds a fair amount of my bathroom products. I did consciously not attempt to make the cart hold more than it should although it’s very strong. It fits perfectly in the space between vanity and wall. I was going to put a piece of marble on the stained wood top but the finish is nice enough that I decided to appreciate the warm wood finish. Definitely recommend this item!!

Not Incredibly Stable
Size: 5.9"D, Color: Rustic White + Honey Brown
The storage cart was fairly easy to put together and looks nice. It's one of few that I've found to fit such a narrow space. Wheels roll well, but only move forward and backward. The cart will tip over if not fit in a small space that forces it to hold position. Works well for my space, but giving a 4 star rating due to that fact it will tip over easily.
