Morning all.

I am about to take over my fathers safe(5 rifle safe) to replace my single rifle safe.
My current safe is nicely tucked away in my wife's closet, but with the bigger one on its way, it wont fit in one our closets.
I might need to install the new one in the study, but it will stand out in the open.
Do I hide, or build a "fake" shelf around it, OR do I install it horizontally behind my desk?
I don't see problem with a safe lying down on its "back", perhaps just install some wooden holders for rifles to rest on?

I'm sure someone here has done something similar like this?
