A paper sheet handling apparatus (100) includes: a plurality of partition members having a first partition member (11) and a second partition member (12) and being capable of ascending and descending to form a storage space for a paper sheet (B); a guide (2) fixed to the first partition member and extending downward; a first stopper (7a) that is in contact with the first partition member at a lower limit position of the first partition member; and a pressing portion (3) that is fixed to the second partition member and raises and lowers the first partition member integrally with the second partition member using a frictional force generated by pressing the guide. The second partition member descends integrally with the first partition member, and after the first partition member comes into contact with the first stopper, the second partition member descends independently of the first partition member against the frictional force to a position where the pressing portion faces a recessed portion (2a) that cancels the frictional force. The second partition member, when ascending from the position where the pressing portion faces the recessed portion to a position where the pressing portion no longer faces the recessed portion, ascends integrally with the first partition member due to the frictional force.
