I do that. I like the simple wooden cube shelving from Joann's or other craft stores (turn unit on its side). Or you can get Ikea Kallax shelves or even the cube shelving from Target (both of those two options are particle board, so I don't prefer them, but I do have some of the Ikea Kallax ones). You can also just use a large bookshelf you have and anchor it to the wall, keeping the lower shelves open for toys and using the upper shelves for whatever you want.

Incidentally, Hobby Lobby has some super cute rope baskets in a variety of colors in two different sizes that seem very Montessori (or Waldorf) to me. Trays you can get at Ikea or Montessori Services.
