Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This magazine rack from Anthropologie is perfect for anyone who knows they want a larger floor rack – and if they have a little extra floor space. Display magazines, books, records and more within this holder, which has beautiful and intricate handmade stitching. While the detailing is dainty, this has a sturdy iron frame too, combining the best of both worlds. It's available in taupe or blue, and the perfect accompaniment to your sofa or side table.
5. Pangea Home Blake Magazine Rack

It has a handle for easy carrying if you want to change things up in a different room, and a whole lot of storage space too. This is a timeless design choice and the high-end finishes make it wholly worth its price.
6. Anthropologie Zane Magazine Basket
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
If you're leaning toward a magazine rack that's a little more traditional, this choice from Anthropologie has it all. The handwoven rattan design is what you might classically expect from a magazine holder, while the open ends mean you're not just restricted to only magazines and books, with the choice of stashing blankets and chunkier objects in there, too. Style it next to your favorite armchair and you have the perfect cozy set up.
7. Ballard Designs Marble Wall Mounted Magazine Rack
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Many of wall-mounted magazine racks tend to be wire, which we find is a little more reminiscent of an office than you might like. This marble addition from Barrow Designs goes against the grain, with its heavy white base that's bound to suit an unadorned wall. We love that it is completely handmade and has delicate nickel finishings, though it's fair to say the installation process might be a little bit of a hassle.
