The perceived wisdom in the Beowulf world is to use  wire bakers shelving -
the stuff used in commercial kitchens. Locate your nearest commercial
catering supplier, and get some  open wire racking.
Nineteen inch racks weigh a lot - specially if you go for whacking gert
welded steel ones like Rittal. We used to put in Prism racks at Streamline,
which were much ligher.
Later moved to APC racks, which are very, very well engineered but again
weight a lot.

If you want something that looks nice, look at Canford audio, they have a
website.
Unlikely to be the cheapest, but as their stuff goes into studios they look
nice.

Or just visit Ikea!

Me, I would advise just asking on this list or on Freecycle for discarded
half racks.
Companies often throw racks lie that in the skip.
