[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Locations for Safes?

I am still undecided on where to put a new safe at my house? Basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, closets or spare bedrooms? I want it semi-hidden and the safe is no heavier than 400 lbs. I guess some issues would be easy access, give me your opinions. Thanks!

basement, keep the box. Cut front or back out on box, place back over locker. Write somthing on it "clothes". Done that on many of safes.

I just helped my brother move in a 510 lbs. safe....to their 2nd floor. It was NOT fun.

Mine is in our computer room/office, also on the 2nd floor. It's only a 330lbs. though, so wasn't as big a deal getting upstairs

any worries of a sagging floor with all that weight? that would be one of my concerns too.
