The well built ones are generally too expensive because they are marketed to audiophiles.
I use other types of solidly built furniture that targets the average consumer rather than audiophiles, like the big honkin' solid oak table that all my stuff has sat on now for 25 years.
It sounds the same (equally quiet) as any audio grade rack/stand out there. Plus it is way heavier and more solid than most.
A good way to pick up good furniture to set equipment on cheap is to stop by a local department store going out of business and liquidating their display racks and other store fixtures..there is often good heavy solid shelving units and such available for very low cost.
Or stop buy your local second hand furniture store from time to time.
