Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster?

I'm trying to wall mount my VPI Super Scoutmaster, but due to its dimensions (22x14x6 inches) and weight (roughly 90 lbs) I'm having trouble finding a self that is simultaneously big enough and strong enough.  For a brief moment, I thought that the Solidsteel WS-5 might do the trick, but it's only designed to accommodate tables that are 19.5 inches or smaller.   Does anyone here have experience with wall mounting this table?  
Thanks,
Rob

The reason I suggest shelves with long standards is that the load is distributed over 12 screws total instead of 4. The brackets are also easier to hide. You also have a selection of heights.  However, the brackets artemus suggests will work but I would use very heavy duty screws, 3" #16 Torx wood screws or 1/4" lag bolts.
I like the idea of a butcher block shelve. You can order that in various sizes and thicknesses.

Rob, You get these https://closetmaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/closetmaid-us/maxloadbracket and the matching standards and wire shelves then you can bolt anything you like from MDF to granite to the wire rack. You can make a valance under the shelf to hide the wire. I would use solid surface material like Corian. MDF is easier to work with and you can Formica it. This way you can make a shelf exactly the size of the turntable which will look sharp.
