Improve your place – Get an inexpensive magazine rack

From Details: Kartell Mag Rack – $266 | From Dappered:  Seville Mag Rack – $24.99

There’s a fine line between having a messy place and looking like a budding hoarder.  Newspapers and Magazines all over your floor will make you resemble the latter.  Don’t be that guy.

Your newest issue of Esquire, the Sunday paper,  anything that’s borderline two dimensional (except for bills, you don’t want to forget about those) can go in a magazine rack.  It gets that stuff up off the floor, and it can be a nice accent piece to your living area.

What you don’t want is to spend a lot of money on one.  If you want something eye catching, try the Lines Magazine Rack by Seville Classics.  It’s just $24.99 and it’d look great next to your favorite chair.

Don’t even consider the Front Page Magazine Rack that was recently featured in Details Magazine.  It looks like an Asterisk from hell, and it’s $266.

Two Hundred and Sixty Six Dollars.  For a magazine rack. Here’s a socioeconomic riddle:  How can someone stupid enough to spend $266 on a plastic magazine rack even have that much money in the bank?

I don’t have an answer for that.
