Do you want to know how to make some?
the cinder blocks are purchased from a lumber yard, they are used for basement walls. they are about 16 inches hi and 8 inches skinny. 16 inches hi make a nice set of shelves. to make a storage shelf use cinder- blocks x2 or 3 depending on lenght of shelving ,boards10 inch wide. place blocks into position, add boards, stack cinder block on wood above previous cinder block. repeat until you have the ht. you need.
In addition to the above suggestio, paint The cinder blocks to match you decor. They can really look nice.
