Hi Kay,

Regarding where to keep boxes if storage space is limited, such as in a condo. Well, if the box is from an older piece where peanuts were used instead of fitted styrofoam, I would discard the peanuts and fold the boxes and store them flattened in a nice chest. There are some really nice storage chests that are not too expensive or you can buy one of those trunks the kids use in college and place a table cloth over it and disguise it or get creative and decorate it yourself. Once the boxes are flattened, there would be room for the newer boxes with the foam, but probably only 15 or so.

Another thought is putting them in a large plastic bag, row by row, two deep and storing them under your bed.
