I have mine put up on a table just the right size for it. I have the dies and mats, etc., stored where ever I can find a place. When I reorganize I will put the dies, etc, under the table where it is at. Right now I am in a middle of projects and I can't reorganize till they are done, can't wait. There are a lot of ways to put the thing, but because it is a tad bit heavy moving it around isn't much fun. My table height is just perfect for me because I am 5'3" anything taller would be too tall. Yes the dies need to be stored on their side so nothing is stacked on them.
