My husband, Aldo, just made me 2 huge polish racks ( 5 feet high and 36 inches wide) ..just like Maggie's, for those who have seen hers... I think mine are wider ( I only have seen pics of Maggie's... I Don't know dimensions) because he wanted them to reach the studs so it would support all the weight of the bottles. Maggie's look beautiful in black... But I painted mine white so the dust won't be seen as much. I have white trim in the room and white cabinets so it matches great! I have all my polish, gel polish, glitter and colored ac on them now!
