An eye-popping, unauthorized expos? of the House of Barbie

From Boise to Beijing, Mattel's toys dominate the universe. Its no-fun-and-games marketing muscle reaches some 140 countries, and its iconic products have been a part of our culture for generations. Now, in this intriguing and entertaining expos?, New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer places the world's largest toy company under a journalistic microscope, uncovering the dark side of toy land, and exploring Mattel's oddball corporate culture and eccentric, often bizarre, cast of characters.

Based on exclusive interviews and an exhaustive review of public and private records, Toy Monster exposes Mattel's take-no-prisoners, shark-infested corporate style. Throughout this scrupulously reported, unauthorized portrait, you'll discover how dangerous toys are actually nothing new to Mattel, and why its fearsomely litigious approach within the brutal toy business has helped their products dominate potential rivals such as Bratz.

  • Introduces you to the larger-than-life personalities that have shaped Mattel's eccentric world
  • Offers an inside look- from an experienced author-at the scandals that have been a part of this iconic company
  • Jerry Oppenheimer is also the author of Madoff with the Money, an in-depth look at Bernie Madoff the man and his billion dollar scam

Engaging and accessible, Toy Monster shows you why today's toy business isn't always fun and games.

Chic, sturdy, and perfect for entertaining
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
This bar cart is exactly what I was hoping for. The gold finish gives it a really elevated, high-end look without the high-end price tag. It fits perfectly into my space and instantly makes the area feel more put together. Assembly was straightforward, and once built, it feels sturdy and well-balanced. The wheels roll smoothly, which makes it easy to move around when hosting or rearranging. I also appreciate the three-tier design, it holds a good amount without feeling bulky. I’ve styled it as a bar cart, but it would honestly work just as well as a coffee station or decorative piece. It’s one of those items that’s both functional and aesthetic. Definitely a great buy if you want something stylish that still feels practical.

Beautiful Bar Cart
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
Beautiful and very sturdy. It took about 1 hour to put together. The directions was a little confusing when it came to the middle bar that connects C & D. Make sure the middle bar is down facing so the marble slab will lay flat. Other than that, beautiful piece , great quality and perfect size.
