Magazines or Sheet Music?

I brought this thrifty find home the other day, but I am clearly in a state of confusion. 

Not because of how pretty it looks once I cleaned it up and 

painted it

or that it's a perfect size as an accent piece and easy to move around the room

But this, this is what's got me stumped

 I don't know if  it was intended to hold my magazines or to hold sheet music. I feel guilty sitting there in that chair reading Southern Living when I think I should be standing up playing the flute.

Or perhaps it's a pulpit for a really short preacher. 

Maybe I should be at church!

 What do you think- Magazines, Sheet Music or Pulpit?
