Steals and Deals: A Magazine Rack for Your Bathroom

Sometimes the fact that I am the only female living in a male dominated home reveals itself in mundane ways.  One of those ways is the stack of reading materials that grows and grows in the bathrooms.  Do you know what I am talking about?

There are magazines on the back of the toilet.  There are magazines on the floor.  There are magazines on the vanity.  I'm forever picking up, stacking and culling magazines in the bathroom.  That is until my most recent purchase, wall mounted magazine racks.  Finally, an answer to the disorganization caused by reading materials in the bathroom.

My search for a wall mounted magazine rack revealed that there are not many options.  I found two excellent choices, one of which is a steal.  The first option can be found at Restoration Hardware for $119.00.  The Chatham combination magazine rack and tissue holder is attractive, easy to mount on the wall and is of excellent quality.

A second choice for a very similar combination rack and tissue holder can be found at several stores including Walmart for $39.97and  Overstock.com for $40.78.  These prices make this rack the "steal"!

The "Steal" Rack

The "steal" rack has an inch wider footprint than the Chatham rack and is mounted to the wall with visible screws.

The Chatham rack slides onto hidden mounting disks, and has a cleaner look on the wall.

Which did I purchase?  I bought them both.  My newly remodeled powder room has raised panels that are too narrow for the "steal".  The Chatam rack fits perfectly.

My upstairs bathroom was also in need of reading material organization, so the "steal" rack has found a home there.

Which should you buy?  In my opinion both are excellent organizational options for your bathroom.  The "steal" rack wins as overall because of the quality, functionality and the price.  If the size of the rack is a concern for you as it was for me in my powder room, then the Chatham rack may be the right choice for you.  It is excellent quality and very attractive, but you'll pay more.
