I used this to display matted 4圆 prints and unmatted 5x7s which fit snuggly in the slots. Greeting Card Rotating Rack - Purchased from. People enjoyed rifling through it, but I want to invest in one with deeper compartments with more room for people to flip through. Instead of magazines, I put in matted prints. 3 Tiered Magazine Display - Purchased from. At only $5 a pop, they're a colorful way to help fill up empty space on the table and provide a low end price option.Ħ.
