Up. On top of the paint cabinet. Old shop had a special shelf just for those.

I'm looking the look of that; only problem is, my garage isn't very tall so instead of tripping over them I'm likely to bash my head on 'em . . .

I've got several heavy industrial totes, about 20"x14"x14" tall. The stands lay sideways inside - usually 2 small and 2 large - and the tote slides onto the bottom shelf of my 18" deep shelving.
Nothing gets in the way or collects dirt like a floor jack and stands sitting out LOL

My drill press is a benchtop press, but I mounted it on a metal cabinet. Under the cabinet are two shelves where I store my jackstands and bottle jacks. You don't see them until you need them.

I store my stands on a slide out pannel that is mounted under my workbench. The second picture shows the panel extended out and the four jack stands are mounted below and beside the hardware organizer. I can get a better picture if you are interested.

I have old J hooks (the kind that used to be common on truck beds) screwed to the rafters and I hang them upside down, so they clear tall heads, but are still in reach.

I built a drawer under my stairs to store them...

Shopnut, as usual, your solution is practical and elegant. Out of the way, and out of sight.

I store my jack stands on shelves just inside the main overhead door along with other items that I often take outside to use (air line, extension cord reel, tote tray, wash buckets, etc.) I also keep a fire there extinguisher just in case. The 5 gal. compressor is my back up and it sits on one of my 4 car wheel dollies so I can take it out side or load it in my trailer if needed. It comes on when I turn on the lights and is great for filling tires, etc. in the driveway. It's also good for light duty bench work or drill press work when I am only in the garage for an hour or so.

Dammit. You folks have once again brought it to my attention that my garage is a mess again. Now I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. I typically store mine on a shelf in the shed. When I need them I carry them around to the garage. They are still laying in the garage though because the shed is full of **** and I can't get to the shelf they go on..... I may have to get rid of some stuff. Dang.
