What we liked most about this ordinary-looking wall shelf is the fact it’s both utilitarian – you can literally hang keys, coats, or hats on this little shelf all while easily concealing a full-sized handgun and extra magazines in the hidden compartment. Sometimes the best place to hide your firearms is in plain sight. One thing to note – this shelf is not light at 26lbs – almost as heavy as a smaller gun safe – so be sure you have a place you can mount the concealment shelf to something sturdy and secure – like a stud or door/window frame. That said, the drawer gap is not particularly pronounced, and you do have to know to look for it to see it. Plus considering break-ins mostly occur in the evenings a burglar is going to be dealing with darkness, making a seam on a pull-out shelf more than likely invisible to the invader. Looking at the drawer from the side you can see the seam, which kind of defeats the purpose of the product. The one criticism we have is that the drawer – while study and smooth operating – isn’t 100% hidden from view. There’s no locking system but for the price you get a pair of shelves – one non-concealment shelf and one with a pull-out hidden compartment – so the fact you have a pair makes decoration easier and improves the concealment factor. The American Furniture Classics Concealment Shelf is the best option if you’re looking for a wall-mountable shelf concealment solution. The one downside to these concealment products is they often don’t have great safety features – like locks or fire protection – so they work best for concealing quick-access firearms either in a home without children or in a place that kids aren’t going to get into.
We didn’t get into large-scale customization – things like chairs, bed modifications, or things like that as the concealed options are pretty limited and come with a much higher price tag than most people will want to spend for a gun concealment solution. We took a look at a wide variety of hidden gun storage options – furniture, accessories, and the like – and put a few to the test, testing for handguns, mag storage, loose ammo and ease of use, and have compiled our recommendations below across as many categories that are practical for most people.
And using a gun safe that looks like furniture can give you the best of both worlds. Many people don’t want just firearm storage – they want to hide their guns – often in everyday-looking products or in plain sight. We’re big on gun safety around here, and for some folks storing a firearm safely also means concealing it.
