I store mine either under my loveseat in the living room or under the futon in the guest room/sewing room/office. I have baseboard heating so these were the best two places that are not in front of the heaters. I purchased a large artist's portfolio and I store them in that and then slide it under where ever it is going to be for that time. It keeps them dust free, flat and protected. Also, having the handle on the case makes it easier to pull out when I need it.
