magazine racks

Where journals stand

Magazine racks are display fixtures designed to hold periodicals for browsing or storage.

They appear in stores, waiting rooms, and homes, typically featuring slanted shelves or wire compartments that show magazine covers.

The term covers everything from spinning wire displays in drugstores to wooden furniture pieces: She grabbed a copy from the magazine rack by the checkout.
