Where/how do you store all your magazines/newspapers?

I have a bit of a magazine habit and always have several copies on the go (at least) at any time. I need some way of storing them next to the sofa which keeps them in order/accessible.
Have tried various magazine racks but the mags always end up buckled/squashed and I forget to clear out as often as I should.
I was thinking maybe a small narrow bench so I coudl lay them out flat but cant find anything.
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA

I'd throw them out or buy fewer but what about one of those tables with a shelf under or a trunk

I know, am rubbish at clutter control...
A table/shelf would be good if not too big
(need it to be narrow to fit by sofa in narrow gap).
Will have a hunt.

Newspapers go straight in the recycling once DH and I have read them.

We have a chest in our living room with back copies of interiors (mine) and food (dh) mags in. There is also a leather trug thing in the loo with mags in.

Talcyo this sounds like all the baskets we have in this house, they soon become receptecles for all kinds of gubbins
