So this is a total noob question and I apologize in advance if this has been covered ad nauseam on the forum. I've never owned a nice cue and based on what many of you have I still don't. That being said I need some advice on storing cues upright versus flat. My preference would be to store it flat in a bench with hinged top, but will storing it flat lead to warping?
 
Hanging them

I guess hanging them would be the best.

I think you can buy the adaptors so you can hang them, if not any set of cheap joint adaptors can be modified to do that.

I would put something around them so they don't get bumped or knocked down.

A gun safe works good if you don't let the cues get hot or humid.

I like a cue case standing on end myself.

But I have about 15 shafts in progress hanging in my spare bedroom.
 
Lying flat is your best bet. That way the weight is evenly distributed.
Keep your cue in the same environment as yourself, namely, inside your home. Cues like it best if they are in the same temperature and humidity as you are. :)

It makes no difference for a well-made cue that gets played occassionally. I'd opt for vertical if it was long-term storage, but that doesn't sound like your situation.

BTW, "well-made" doesn't mean expensive.
 
Vertically.... This solution works great... Bazooka case by JB... 10 cues and 20 shafts.. You can actually put at least another 4 shafts in there in between the dividers...

Yeah, its going in our kitchen/dining room so I was hoping to get a bench with a hinged lid for storing balls and cues. I would be fine with a vertical wall rack in the kitchen, but the lady that lives with me, not so much.
