Bookshelf monitor stands

My 3" Alesis monitors are up on tissue boxes with egg cartons glues to them (not exaggerating!!). They serve me well, and the past half year has given them a lot of use as well as giving my ears a lot of time to get used to how they sound. 
But with the fragility of my (meant-to-be) temporary "monitor stands", they've actually fallen off of my desk a fair number of times, and it's starting to get to be an actual problem.
 
So I'm looking for just some sort of small bookshelf frame or support that those small monitors can rest on. Realize I'm not running a pro-level studio or anything by any means, so sound isolation isn't really the goal, just looking for a relatively cheap-yet-elegant solution to the current setup I've got. Months ago I had a big plan laid out, but my bedroom/studio is starting to form in a different way that begs to be a bit more modular - tighter, more accurate setup for studio work, looser, more open setup when gaming or gumming around.
 
Any ideas, guys?

I guess money is an issue.
Get some free foam mouse pads from a trade show. Or cut up some carpet padding, there are different types. Then go to a Michaels hobby store, or similar for cheap but adequate wooden boxes.

It sounds like you're looking for an inexpensive monitor pad like this:

Looking more for something that's is going to raise the height of my monitors. I did neglect to mention - they're on tissue boxes so that the tweeters are at ear-level. It's about a 9-in difference.

Go to a construction site, outside the fence, for discarded wood to make ramps or shelves. There are options.
I remember the days 40 years ago. 😊

Money is not *so much* the problem - I could shell out tons on a pair of amazing monitors and stands to fit, but at the moment I just don't do anywhere near *enough* audio work to justify such a big purchase - nor do I have the space for it.I'm just doing a lot of experimenting and kinda want something that looks a bit nice while still being functional.
I think I *will* take you up on that second idea of building my own set, though, that'd be fun and not so costly!
 
Other recommendations are of course appreciated!

Somehow I feel I'm being duped with that video. Sure there could be a (almost inaudible) difference but this was sounding like someone flipping an EQ on and off in sync with the video. 
How can the stand effect the EQ output of a speaker that much where I can hear it on my laptop,, only factor I could see is reflections because of the different height. The test would have been 100% more effective if the speakers stayed at the same height above the shelf and disk. After all he had to move the mikes too which just a little change in direction would make the EQ change. 

Hockey pucks.
