I built some outta that crap out at Lowes. Particle board with venier (is that right?) stuff glued on. Pieces were about 6 feet long by 10 inches wide and a half inch deep. Just cut them in half, made a shelf and a top and glued/screwed them together. Cost about $30. Got some of those little nipple things to cover the screws and they look pretty good
They don't look nice, and you can tell they are homemade if you really look (some of the cuts aren't perfect). I have no clue on how to make stuff, so you can imagine how simple this was.
