An open bookshelf would be fine in a room wiothout strange odors. For
example no cigarette smoke, no pungent cooking fumes, so strong air
fresheners etc. Yes, do protect from sunlight.

I use a filing cabinet, an old (odor free) Foot Locker, some wooden
cabinets in my Den, etc. One friend of mine uses a wicker laundry
basket stuck in the corner of a spare bedroom. Really you dont have to
get very particular about it. Just avoid strong oders, sunlight, and
make sure it can get some air. Usually if the climate is comforatable
enough for humans it will be fine for Puerh.
