We were really inspired by Rebecca's post last month on how to multi-task a room. We especially loved her idea of creating a small reading nook using a simple magazine rack. We've rounded up seven sleek and modern hanging magazine racks so you can create your own modern reading nook today!

$503 for a magazine rack?!
I own and love the Gus Design rack from Style Garage here in Toronto. As for justifying prices - these aren't just for displaying magazines, they're design elements that can enhance a space as much as any lamp, side-table, etc.
lightspeed - I understand these are design elements, but that still doesn't justify these prices. Seriously, outside of the Ikea rack (which is still a bit much for a sheet of metal that's been cut and bent) none of these items come anywhere close to deserving their price point.
I loooove the one on the bottom right. Reminds me of a clothesline!
Plaid Ninja - I understand your point but we should recognize two things:
(1) Price justification is purely relative, not absolute. What's outrageous to one person is a fair deal to another. If this were not true there would be no Sotheby's or Rago Arts, only Ikea.
We should probably not impose our own sense of value onto others because we don't know the criteria that others use to judge the worth of an object. I bought an expensive lamp that by someone else's standard would presumably be overpriced, but it worked so perfectly in my space that it was worth every penny (to me).
(2) The market will determine whether or not the price is justifiable. If no one is willing to bear the price, then the product will fail and the matter is closed.
I had the Ikea one for a few years. I liked it, however when guests saw it they said it looked like it belonged in a doctor's office. It was useful though. I wish I had wall space in my new place for one of these racks... to keep my hubby's magazines from taking over every available flat surface!
I use that Ikea one to hold paper bags (to reuse for groceries) inside the hall closet.
