    I am sure that you might be able to add some kind of legs or ball feet to it and perhaps paint it if you are tired of the stain color and use it in the kitchen/pantry area, a child's room for story books or even in the bathroom. Whatever you choose to do enjoy yourself and see what you come up with.

    That is so like mine that needs redoing. I immediately looked at your magazine rack and thought of Unicorn Spit! I think perhaps paint the rack with black chalk paint (not chalkboard). Then use a couple of swirls of US on the framework including the corner pieces and crossbars, but not on the side or inside rails. It would take a little while to swirl, cover with plastic wrap, squish or roll a ball or brush over the wrap, unwrap and let that side or part dry. Then flip the rack and do another side. I would spray a couple of coats of a poly seal and be happy. If I'm not? Repainted! Best wishes šŸ˜‡

    Turn it sideways and make a wine rack, or use it for hoes, or baskets!

    Would work great to organize your baking sheets and pans or lids in.

    Fix wheels to the legs, take out centre divider, paint it and use it for a heavy houseplant or for the patio......

    Cut off legs (make it same as a top). turn it on its wide side. Drill 4 holes (1 in each corner) and add new longer legs. Paint it. Place the tempered glass on top and use it as a shelved side or coffee table.

    Hello, Add a top and make into a coffee table. If the top would be removeable you could also use for storage. Use to display plants, Hold Wine bottles etc. Line, and use as planter or use as Knitting / Sewing holder???
