Ways To Store Your Journals
Bookcases

I've always used bookcases. I favor easy assembly, and I was able to assemble the Walmart ones by myself.

Plastic Storage Containers
Sometimes you have so many journals, that you need a place to store them! Clear storage allows you to see which journals you're looking at. I prefer clear locking totes.

Heavy duty locking totes are ideal for storing journals in a storage space such as an attic, or for moving.
