Clever Ideas for Bed Risers? Does Anyone Use Regulary?

I've seen these in the stores and on tv.  But, are there any other uses for them?  I can think of a few.   Maybe behind a sofa under a short sofa table, pulled out a little, so the table would be elevated above the sofa, so accessories would stand taller.  Or used on bookcases, shelves, or counters.  Maybe stagger them, and put on some books, cover with a coordinated fabric, and then place candlesticks, or other accessories on them.  Surely they can be multi-tasked when not in use under a bed.  Anyone have any clever ideas?

I've never thought about that! hmmmm   What about a table if you wanted more of a bistro style?

I use "bed height" Aerobeds which sit on the floor.  Recently, I've had some fix and flips that have had their hardwood floors redone.  You aren't supposed to put rugs, etc. down for 30 days.  So of course, you shouldn't put an Aerobed down on them either.  I've used them to elevate the beds up off the ground. 

I've used them to elevate platters of food on buffets.  Just stick them under some fabric and it makes a dramatic display.

I've also used them to elevate floor plants behind chairs, etc.  I've even put paint in them when I was running around doing touch ups.  :)

Clever indeed - where do you get those from?

Jennifer- those are excellent ideas, I usually am scrambling around trying to find plastic flower pots, to turn upside down. Oh, the power of never throwing anything out!

Denise-Taget has them for $9.99 for a set of 4.  Wal-Mart has them for $14.96 for 4 large and 4 smalls.

Alyse-I like that concept, how would you disguise them?

You can also use empty (new) paint cans as bed risers. They don't nest, but they are cheaper.

Great for a bed with no headboard/footboard and covers to the floor.

Maybe they'd make good romper stompers? Anyone remember?
