Mine are in my hallway closet on shelf

I have one if these on the way. Cheap, locks, should fit under the table for quick access during games and holds about 4000 chips according to another thread, I'll use the bottom drawer for junk/random chipping supplies like racks and boxes. The top drawer for a tray to hold chips being used in the game, a cash box, dealer buttons and various other stuff. The middle drawer for the rest of the collection.

Just need to figure out which size tray like this to fit in it

Most of mine were once stored in the bottom of the closet in a spare bedroom. When I eventually bolstered the shelves to handle more weight, it became a dedicated chip closet. It's since grown into a frickin' chip ~room~.

Security is handled by two pit bulls, a german shepherd, and a 35 lb part lab/pit/jack russell/ tasmanian devil terror with NO fear. Dem chipes be safe, bro.

Biggest concern I have is damage to the house from storms taking down large trees that breech the ceiling.

Sounds like a chip museum aka heaven. When do I get the tour and how much is admission?

I never had anything steal-worthy in my home.
Hope any burglars won't appreciate any poker chips

In the China cabinet of course

Ack , are the shelves made of steal? Amazing collection. Some of you guys have crazy awesome hoards of chips in this thread!

Now that’s a practical, affordable and safe way to store a bunch of chips. I can see myself buying a tool box that I can lock up and place in the garage like that!

Unless your garage has A/C in it you probably don’t want to store them in there if you get really hot summers. They could potentially warp from extreme heat.

I replaced the glass with wood.

Mine live under my desk. The one place no one in the family can complain about the space they are taking up.

I can hear those shelves straining under the weight. Yikes!

This old thing.

I mean, not to get all Schroedinger’s Cat on you, or anything, but if it doesn’t have glass doors to view the chips, do they even exist?

I’ve always liked this pic that @RainmanTrail posted a while back. Nice and clean. Would work with just 2, 4, or 6 cubes too...

I've looking for one of these. I think it's called a lawyers bookcase or barrister bookcase. Beautiful.

Around here they are just called stacking book cases. You can find them occasionally at estate auctions. We have a five stack with the wifey’s stuff in it.

That’s me in the cube in the second stack.

I use an old card catalog...View attachment 163538

with a couple of bird cages on top. In my office.

Dredging up an old thread here for sure. First off, killer examples of great displays. Second...wow...some amazing collections! Not to hijack, but I love these old catalogs like above! I turned one into a liquor cabinet

I still love @AfterTheFact 's cabinet in post 19, but with those loads, I wonder if it's survived this long?

 

[BGinGA]

Yeah, those two middle shelves appear about ready to burst....

I replaced the glass shelves with 1/4 inch plywood. Hopefully that holds lol.

The garage might be a very bad idea in case your chips are made from clay and your garage could get very hot in the summer
