Vintage Finds of the Week: Magazine Racks

Besides Vanity Fair, I haven't subscribed to fashion magazines for years. Lately I've decided to return to the printed magazine world. I renewed my VF subscription and tacked on a subscription to Vogue, Elle, and W. While I anxiously await for their arrivals, I know I'm going to need room to store them in my tiny place. For this week's Etsy vintage finds I have found a mid-century solution: magazine racks!
