For some more amusing answers, I recently came across this thread while searching for something else:

I've only got 2, the one I keep folded down in the cabinet (which probably isn't all that good for it...), the other I have a personalized quilted cover that I bought when I first started, it's great for keeping all the pet hair away from it and easier than putting it in and out of the case all the time.
A lot of the ones I have my eye on come in a cabinet - I love those, but they take up a lot more room so I would consider taking them out of the table, taking the legs off of the table, and storing it else where until I have the room.
