A magazine rack is used for neatly organizing and filing magazines in one place for easy retrieval. Usually made of wood, iron, and plastic, it is made with dividers extending to a little more than the length and width of a standard-size magazine. It helps protect magazines from crumpling and folding, and prevents them from being misplaced. A magazine rack can also be considered a home furniture, as it can blend with a living room's interior design. Aside from homes, it is also commonly used in offices, lobbies, salons, clinics, and other establishments with waiting areas.
