Not quite the quality I expected.
The Magazine Rack functions adequately. It holds the magazines and some books. However, it does not have a back. In other words the contents rest on the bare wall behind it. At the very least, it should have had a finished plywood back. Speaking of finishes, if it had a finish,it was barely detectable. In other words, it looked unfinished. That was no problem. I went to the hardware store and bought a small can of polyurethane finish and applied two coats. Now it looks fine. It does apply to the wall with 2 screws because it is so light. If you want to buy this type of wall rack, I would suggest that you look for one which has a better finish and has a back on it.

The BEST Magazine Rack!!
I bought 2 of these magazine racks several months ago and I think they are absolutely wonderful! I believe the seller read the comments from the previous reviewer and worked to improve their product.
After I ordered the two racks I received an email from the seller asked how I would like them finished. I chose to finish one in Black and the other in Mahogany. They both arrived within the specified shipping time and were well packed and protected. The finishes were beautiful and very nicely done.
Each rack came with two screw covers, two screws, and a removable backing. The backing was not plywood and was not finished, it was a white/offwhite… I don’t want to say piece of cardboard, but something similar. It would have looked fine if I had finished my racks in white or if I had white walls, but I have tan walls so I chose not to use the backing provided.
The racks were easy to install and I was able put them both up within 15 minutes. Both racks look great! We have limited wall space in our bathrooms, so I have both racks attached behind doors. You don’t get to see them when the doors are open, but when the doors close they are easy access from your seat. The racks are deep enough to hold several magazines (ours are currently holding 4-5 Rolling Stone magazines each) and are slim enough that they fit behind a door without a problem (just make sure you don’t put them where the door knob will hit them. Overall I think it is a great product.
Short Version
Pros
- Nice Look/Good Quality
- Easy Install
- Great Size for Purpose/Usability
Cons
- Needs Better Backing for Those Who Want It
- Kinda Expensive (I’d prefer if it was closer to $25.00, but I looked and couldn’t find a better magazine rack than this one)
