Astilbe Tan and White Hair-On Hide Magazine Rack with Wood Handle

A tan and white hide rack with a wood handle that keeps magazines and throws handy beside a chair or sofa.

Place this rack beside a chair, a sofa or a fireplace to hold magazines, books or a folded throw. The sides are wrapped in tan and white hair-on hide, and a wood bar handle spans the top for carrying.

It stands 12 in high with a footprint of 16 in by 9 in, a slim shape that fits next to seating. The interior is a dark lining. Small stacks of magazines and a rolled throw fit without crowding, and the lining keeps contents from catching on the hide.

Planning notes

Hide patterns differ from piece to piece, so expect your rack to show its own mix of tan and white. Pair with cream knits and dark wood.

Two racks side by side with different patterns can also make a deliberate pair in a larger room. In a lobby or lounge, set one rack per two to three seats and rotate the magazines weekly. At home, keep it on the side of a chair you use daily so the handle faces you. Allow about 10 in of floor depth so the rack does not block walkways.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for wet items.
• Not for hot embers or coals.

Care

Brush gently with the direction of the hair. Spot clean with a barely damp cloth. Do not soak. Keep it away from radiators and fireplaces so the hide does not dry out.
