Heck, I spent the first 5 years of my adult life, post university, decorating my pads in early 'Ammo Crate'. For example, 2 60mm HE mortar crates (wooden) nicely support a pair of 2"x14"'s scrounged from a construction site. Cover the whole shebang with a camo poncho and voila, coffee table! Poncho liners are quilted and make great spreads and throws for the cast off couches you can find behind rich peoples' houses. I used paraflare canopies for lampshades since they are fire retardant and highly reflective. I used a full size paracanopy to hang over my rack, which was a queen size, supported on ammo cans filled with lead dive weights (for stability). It wasn't until I married that I began *buying* furniture. Ick.
