Plastic shower caddies or other small plastic bins turned upside down with "doors" cut into them. Some people build Lego second stories (sometimes with steps) that are really cool. :)

The left side level was made out of a flower pot with a large drip tray (used for indoor plants) on top... Fill with substrate. Had all these materials around my home. Could use a large bowl and a mug too. :)

I have a plastic basket as a moss pit that sits on a broken teapot that they hide in. Or you could try putting plexiglass on two or three hides underneath to support it.

I looove using glass jars turned on their sides. Even better, have a few pieces of gnarled driftwood handy to create a platform for it and have floating shells!
