How loud do you plan on playing these things if "vibrations" are a concern?! There is another way to go, mounting them on the wall. Of course, you will need to repair the wall prior to leaving or potentially incur loss of renter's deposit. The wall might not be a bad option, for if the dresser is not too wide, you will have a very small soundstage. You could always knock out one of the faces of a drawer and lay them in sideways! (Just kidding, but I'm sure someone's done similar before) When I was single and had no money, I used a microwave cart I got at a rummage sale for my first audio rack. That's back when mircrowaves were slightly smaller than walk-in freezers.
Much cheaper and easier to obtain than marble would be faux marble, i.e. Tiles. Go to some home renovation place, ie. Home Depot and scope out their ceramic floor tiles. Maybe they have an open box, a few odds and ends, etc. and you can pick up a couple of tiles for $2. Put felt underneath them and you're in business.
