Magazine Rack

[barry1010]

Have you got one or have they gone the way of telephone tables and tv cabinets?

[Maydup]

I have one and keep sewing in it. Magazines, papers, articles waiting to be read are on the end of the sofa!

[barry1010]

Sewing box! My mother had a beautiful one, I remember it well, hexagonal with a deep interior. Another thing that has joined the charity shop in heaven

[Barsel]

I do have one but it's going to the charity shop as soon as I find a new home for the contents which are not magazines. :-)

[Barsel]

Lots of greeting cards in mine that I don't really want to get rid of.

[barry1010]

Barsel, could you stick your cards in an album? Might be nice in date order, or occasion.

[Redhelen72]

Got rid of mine when it just collected junk

[-SharonA-]

My Mum had one. It was always crammed with junk.
I keep my mags under the coffee table on a lower shelf.

[Barsel]

Barry, it would have to be a blooming big album.
Cards from 3 children, and 5 Grandchildren for birthdays, Mother's day, Christmas, Get well, and the lovely cards I've received from friends over the years. I think I need a suitcase really.

[barry1010]

We still buy magazines but I think they are in decline, I read a lot of ebooks but digital magazines just don't do it for me.

Ours our stacked on the bottom shelf of our glass tv stand, helps keep the blerdy dust off it :)

[barry1010]

You are well loved, Barsel. Suitcase is a good idea, you could get one from a charity shop and decoupage it with photos

[Old_Geezer]

Not had one for ages. I always seem to have articles in the magazine that I've not got around to reading, so they stayed and mounted up, overflowing any receptacle; so it was easier just to keep them in a pile until I found the ability to sling older ones unfinished. These days I buy fewer magazines as there is so much information freely available on the Internet.

Ay hev a chairside mobile book case. well used - very Georgian. Books not consulted for 7 d must be returned to stock ( upstairs)

magazines must be read on the day of arrival, and a decison made

(Army officers ( high-ups) were clear desks or cluttered desks men. May NOT have had anything to do with efficiency or winning battles. Wellington ( they say) was a clear desk man)

I have one with pockets across the front, and I find it really useful. I keep my Radio Times, puzzles books and magazines in main part. The pockets I use for remote controls (I have two),and one for the slim box containing my weeks supply of medication. It lives at the side of the settee where I sit, and is very convenient, wouldn't be without it.

[MissTerious2]

I have one at the side of ny chair. The only magazines we get are Airplane and they end up all over the place and stacked up in the study/junk room. I'm not allowed to get rid of them! My rack has a few soduko books and things like the address book and odds and ends,.

[barry1010]

You all seem very organised

[MissTerious2]

Barry. Every surface in our home seems to get covered in books! Not well organised. Mr T seems to be reading a dozen books at the same time. Mostly Aircraft and military history.

[barry1010]

All my surfaces are covered in medication, lotions, potions, inhalers and medical equipment. There is a system, it's not random.
I'd prefer books

[MissTerious2]

Actually I'm the same with my medication!

[pastafreak]

I can't remember when I last had a magazine rack. I used to buy loads of magazines...mostly home interiors...and a rack would have been too small. Now I only buy a few a year and they are in a basket on a lower shelf in the bookcase next to my favourite chair.
A few years ago I got rid of a hideous black gloss tv cabinet someone gifted to me when I moved here. That was replaced by a low shelf (too low) and now the telly sits on a oak 2 drawer chest. Unconventional but it suits me.

[barry1010]

pasta, I hate hate hate my glass tv stand. Can't wait for us to have to replace it with the sort of thing you have. It is impossible to dust, it is a real dust magnet.
I see loads advertised 'for free' on the socials and the charity shops don't want them.
