Why are equipment racks so expensive?


I periodically look through the racks in the sales section and I cannot get over just how darn pricey those things are.  I don't get it.  

I mean I see racks that cost 1, 2 or even 3K.  Really?

I've currently got two Ikea end tables stacked (not the Lack but some other ones) and they work rather well but sometimes I look just to see what's available.  I see the prices.  Then I'm back to being happy with what I've got.

So...why the prices?

Having spent many pandemic lockdown months meticulously putting together my headphone system, it became very apparent that I had to get my gear off of the dining room table. So instead of chasing less expensive solutions like those available at IKEA, I simply went to the hi-fi store where I bought a lot of my stuff, and looked at what they put their $100K worth of components on. Yes the initial sticker shock was quite the slap in the pants, but after reading extensively I decided that investing in a five shelf Solid Steel rack was going to be well worth it.
