I can't pay $129 for the official stand. Other than just using a small table, is there something that would work well? (in the $25 range)

I just bought a pair of 90 stage 1 and i built a stand with 2x4 and 3/4" plywood.

You can build a stand. Just make sure it is firm and doesn't flex much. otherwise you can have issues sliding the pins into the lower weights. I recently bought a set with a slightly bent pin, and the fellow told me he didn't have the one block sitting flat. He tried to force the pin in and bent it. The fellow at the local fitness supply store was nice enough to give me a new pin free of charge. He said that Powerblocks had been sending extra pins with each shipment.

Hmm, I don't have any tools or experience building stuff so it'll be hard to build it myself.
