Actually, this is more of a question than a suggestion.
Do college students still build book shelves, etc. out of concrete blocks and boards?
In the sixties, you didn't see a college apartment that didn't have them. They were really cheap to make and easy to build using standard concrete blocks and boards that were about 8-10 inches wide, an inch thick and 4-6 feet long. You could build them in pretty much any configuration in terms of height and length (as long as they didn't go too high and get top heavy). I know it sounds strange, but they really didn't look that bad. That's where you kept your books, stereo and TV if it was small enough.
When you were finished with them, you just threw them away or took them apart and left the materials for the next renter.
When we first were married we were so poor that our apartment living room was decorated with those shelves and rubber inflatable furniture. Oh yes, and one bean bag chair.
As our parents replaced furniture, we would inherit the old stuff.
