Best location for a safe

I am picking up my new aerolite Zero Gravity 29BDHS this coming Saturday and am looking for the best place to put a small safe. It would be a top opening safe only big enough for a little cash and his and hers handguns. About 8" x 12" x 4" tall. I was thinking the under bed storage but would like to know what other have done with there's.

Your idea is good but also check a closet floor as a possibility. Other places could be in a cabinet, according to how hidden you want it to be.

I found a place where I could access both the back and bottom of the safe from the other side of the wall/floor. That way I was able to put large pieces of aluminum plate to make it much more difficult to rip out. Use carriage bolts with the self locking nuts inside the safe and just cut off the excess tread.
Mine happened to be under the TV in a small cupboard.
Hope that helps.
Happy Glamping.

Many rear bedroom LED TV's have a big open space behind. If you installed a mount that would let you lift it up you would have easy access to that area. It would be out of sight, but easier to use.

Thanks for the input. I think the plate backer is a great idea.

Bolted it to the top of the dresser. Just slows them down and provides safe firearm storage.
