I've got about $35 in the whole thing, and about 2-3 hours of labor making it. Materials were:
2 pieces of 2ft square 1/2" pine (if memory serves...)
1 stick of 2"x2"x8' furring strip
3" hole saw
Package of small finishing nails
Some wood filler putty for the seams
Two plastic cup holder inserts like you'd see on boats
Free quart of black paint I got from a Glidden promo online

It is 12" wide, 14" long, and goes from 11"(at the seat) to 13" tall. Down the road I may pull it out and integrate a 10" subwoofer into the design, but just holding a drink and my phone will do for now.
