Very nice! Displays magazines in an easily accessible and attractive fashion.
Fits perfectly on the wall over our crapper.

I purchased this magazine rack for my house, but it ended up being too large, but my father says that it works like a charm in his reading room (aka the bathroom).

Pros: this will compliment any decor!!
Cons: hmmmm nothing that I can think of...........
I searched EVERY where for a wall magazine rack for our very humid bathroom that would not only eliminate the clutter from magazines being strewn about counters, baskets & YES, the floor! I wanted it to look good, be rust resistant & NOT dust collecter!

This is just the ticket! It's a heavy well made powdered silver colored metal, that doesn't even show at all when the magazines are on it. It appears as rust won't be aproblem. I will update this review IF I experience a problem later on down the road!

It holds 12 magazines, looks Unique, like the magazines are just floating off of the wall! Everyone likes it, you can even alter the theme/decor of the room by changing the magazines (covers) around & varying the sequence of their placement on the rack!

It was very simple to install, it takes only 4 screws & comes with wall anchors if needed! I only had to get a phillip's head screwdriver, tape measure & my son (ha ha) & it was up in 5 minutes!

I can't wait for these to go on sale so I can buy more for my other rooms & gifts to give for those "hard to buy for" people in my family & the bridal showers, housewarmings etc ....that I am always fumbling about TRYING to find something for!

This is such a cool looking item! I'll be sure to get some more for my college bound son, sure wish I had thought this up!

The magazine rack itself is really great and compliments well with my silver iMac..
The hollow wall anchors they have given to hang it are really cheap and went in to the wall when we fasten the nails. (That's why the 3 stars, instead of 5, Their hardware ruined my wall) The nails didn't have screw marks in them. The magazine rack was wobbly and loose once hang.
We ended up removing everything and using our own hardware to secure it.

I originally thought it would be a brushed metal finish, but its not...silver paint/powder coat. Not a huge deal since most of the metal is covered by mags anyway. But all the rest of my bath fixtures are brushed metal.

So my only complaint is a lack of instructions. I realize this sounds stupid, but I was looking for any info on/in the packaging for the size of the drywall screw anchors. I kept guessing and checking on how big they were. I think they are a bout 1/4". Not a big deal, but it could say somewhere what size of a hole you should be drilling. Whatever.

So it's a bit pricey, but a neat little rack. Up close you can see the metal divider between the two columns, but A) So what, it's not magic, we know they aren't really floating and B) if someone points it out they are probably the annoying type who tries to find the negative about anything.

So yeah, I only got this because my girlfriend bought me a subscription to Writer's Digest and so I figured it will be perfect and a nice display once it's filled out, and I can keep them around for reference later as well.

So if you have the spare cash or have a specific purpose, these are very cool.

It is exactly what I needed! It's thin enough to place behind a door (i.e. in a small bathroom) to hang reading material. Build quality isn't superb (visible welding marks if you look on the back), but good enough for hanging magazines. Mounted it with super-strong double sided tape (they provide screws) to avoid making holes in the tiles.

I would recommend the item to others, and am buying another as a gift as I write this!

Like the concept but the product is...um... well the bars are all not aligning with each other, so it looks really bad if there's no magazine on it... I understand that it's a magazine rack and there should be magazines on it, but I think it needs to look good if there's not full of magazine on it as well... so I'm disappointed, but kept it anyways although the bars really bother me...

The product that came wasn't anything different than advertised. It is what it claims to be. It was easy to hang and no problems using it as described. I just personally found it to look less impressive (a touch sloppy, too casual) once in my home and hung up. I put it above the toilet tank, with magazines filling it. I just dont know, it makes you want to be picky about which magazines you buy so when they're hung they don't look like an eye sore. Who wants to draw this much attention to a magazine cover? most of them aren't appealing to me. In other news I am letting my weight watchers and good housekeeping subscriptions lapse and picking up consumer reports, maybe those will look better hanging on this :)

REMODELLED OUR BATHROOM. NEEDED A MADAZINE RACK. THIS WORKS GREAT AND HAS A DIFFERENT LOOK THAN THE TRADITIONAL.
WIFE LOVES IT.
