Magazine Racks Are Perfect Storage Solutions

Anyone who has any experience with little ones knows that these tiny people tend to come with an incredible amount of stuff. Clothes, of course, can be tucked away in a dresser, but that still leaves toys, picture books and plenty of other items that need a designated spot that can be easily accessed. That's where magazine racks come in. These unique pieces of storage furniture have a slim profile that's perfect for small spaces, and their narrow shelves are ideal for displaying children's books, small toys and decorative objects.

Magazine Racks and Other Storage and Display Options

It's only logical that things that are easily accessible and stored in plain view get used frequently, and items that are hidden away tend to be forgotten. That's just one of the many reasons that magazine racks are ideal for storing and displaying your children's books. Unlike with bookshelves, where the colorful, kid-enticing covers are concealed, bookracks allow you to store books with the covers facing out. In this way, the book covers function like art, adding color and charm to your child's space. Even more importantly, though, this also ensures that little ones can easily find their favorite books -- without pulling the whole library off the shelves! Pottery Barn Kids carries several different styles and sizes of magazine racks, so you'll have no trouble finding something that is perfect for your space. Regardless of which style you choose, you can rest assured that it, like all of the juvenile products carried by Pottery Barn Kids, has been tested and found to meet or exceed all industry safety requirements. Read on for more about some of your options.
