I did this a few years ago in my first apartment:
Find a grocery store that has milk crates (i think they're milk crates, maybe egg crates or somehting) hanging around out back. Steal as many as you can get in your car/truck.
Get some wire and tie them together to form two supports. Also, make the openings of the front crates face out to form shelves.
Go to a Home Depot or Lowes and buy a big piece of particle board. Put it on the top of the two milk crates. Presto!
(I also used the same technique to make an entertainment center and coffee table.)
