Where do people store their flight cases?

I was just wondering where other people store their flight cases? I live in an apartment and I don't have a garage or any real storage. It is a bit of an eyesore, so I don't want to give it a very prominent place. We bassists have such unique storage issues with all of our gigantic stuff, just looking for some ideas from fellow bassists. Thanks!

I live in a tiny duplex with my wife (who is a "crafter" so she has more stuff than me!) I have a small space where I keep 2 basses, cases, my ampeg 8x10, head and case, and my "must have at shows" bag.

Just gotta do whatever it takes. put it up neatly and it can look decent.

Under the bed? You do realize I'm talking about a 7 foot x 3 foot flight trunk for a double bass? I'd like to see that bed!

Throw a quilt over it, and use it as a TV/entertainment center stand.

Use it as an extra closet? The only person I know who has one keeps it at our school, but that doesn't necessarily help you.

Using it as extra closet is not a bad idea, maybe for storing cases of beer. Thanks!

Don't have one! I borrow one from a friend for a six pack of Guinness when I need to go interstate he keeps his case elevated on a wall rack completely out of the way in a horizontal position next to a surf board.

I store mine in the storage room of our orchestra's rehearsal hall, along with various percussion instruments, etc. So far, nobody's complained
