The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a comprehensive historical account of one of New York City's most iconic hotels. Written by Edward Hungerford, a journalist and author who covered the hotel extensively during its early years, the book delves into the Waldorf Astoria's origins, construction, and evolution over time. The Waldorf Astoria was originally two separate hotels, the Waldorf and the Astoria, which were merged in 1893 to create a grand luxury hotel that quickly became a symbol of New York City's opulence and glamour. Hungerford traces the hotel's early days, including its famous guests and notable events, such as the birth of the Waldorf salad and the first-ever charity ball. The book also covers the hotel's major renovations and expansions, including the construction of the current Waldorf Astoria building in the 1930s. Hungerford describes the hotel's role in World War II, when it served as a headquarters for the US Army, and its later years as a hub for international diplomacy and high society events. Throughout the book, Hungerford weaves in anecdotes and stories from the hotel's past, bringing to life the personalities and events that have shaped the Waldorf Astoria's legacy. The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of New York City or the evolution of luxury hospitality.

Nice shelf option
These industrial pipe shelf brackets are a great choice if you’re going for that rustic, farmhouse look. The black iron finish looks clean and modern while still giving off that classic industrial vibe. Once installed, they feel sturdy and well-built. Perfect for holding books, décor, or heavier items when paired with solid wood planks. I like the open design because it really lets whatever you’re displaying stand out. They’re also pretty versatile and work well in different spaces like living rooms, kitchens, or home offices. Just keep in mind that this is the bracket system only, so you’ll need to supply your own wood and possibly some mounting hardware depending on your setup. Overall, they’re a stylish and functional DIY option that adds a lot of character to a space.

Excellent industrial shelving hardware for the price
I bought these as a housewarming-style gift for my brother-in-law, who recently finished building an extension onto his home and finally has the space for a proper office. His family’s aesthetic leans heavily toward that cottage-meets-industrial look, and these brackets fit the brief perfectly. First impressions were excellent. The iron construction feels genuinely heavy-duty, and the machining and threading are better than I expected at this price point. The finish is a clean matte black that looks sharp without feeling overly glossy or cheap. Installation is straightforward if you’re comfortable with basic wall mounting. Because these are iron pipe components, you may find yourself making tiny adjustments with micro shims to get everything perfectly level depending on your wall and stud placement. That’s not a flaw so much as the nature of pipe-style systems. Once dialed in, though, they feel very solid. The scale is also worth mentioning. These are not subtle brackets—they’re a bit of a statement piece. That’s great if you want the shelving to become part of the room’s visual identity, but it’s something to be aware of when planning the space. One thing I actually appreciate is that they don’t include the wood shelves. Bundled wood usually drives up the cost and often isn’t the species or finish you’d want anyway. This way you can choose your own boards and tailor the look to the room—which is exactly what my brother-in-law ended up doing. Overall, a very well-executed industrial shelving system: sturdy, attractive, and surprisingly refined for the price.
