I'm trying to find a creative way to build some kind of a shelf (free-standing) that will elevate my indoor plants (or alternatively, buy something that gets the job done). It would be best if the shelf were in basket form. I want the basket to be elevated about 6 ft off the ground, and would prefer it to have an earthy look to it, but if I can just build something that looks really interesting, that will do. My dad suggested that I stack milk cartons. I have no idea wtf he was talking about. Any advice? My plan B right now is to buy one of those really ugly shelf racks at Lowes for ~$50.

You just need a flat surface to hold minimal weight? You can use about a million things to do that, you could build a wooden box, stack milk crates, stack storage chests/rubbermaid chests, or build something out of virtually anything. There's gotta be hundreds of ways you can tackle this, and none of them should have issues. You just need a flat surface slightly raised that doesn't need to support any real weight.
