I would suggest multiple layers of wood. A pallet on a box for a start. Then be sure that what ever area you put it will have the least amount of temperature swing.

I as i said i recommend a pallet on a 4'x4' box. The inside of that box should be filled with rigid foam. Then you also need to have enough mobile desiccant.
I left mine on the 4x4 loading pallet it came on. keeps it up off the floor just enough for adequate airflow. I also have a goldenrod installed inside each safe.
