  Step 1

  Use a wire brush, soap and water to get loose painting and dirt off.
  Let the wood dry for a couple of days.

  Step 2

  Paint the crates with white paint. I used some relatively cheap acrylic paint.. and two layers to get it to cover entirely.
  Let it dry... do the other crates.
  Put them on top of each other.. et voila! Shelves!

Wow! Love how classy you actually made them look, with the white paint and all. Definitely one to keep in mind when I get around to redecorating

Maybe you can be lucky to find some at flea markets or something Or second hand shops for furniture. I see them once in a while here
