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?

It’s high end here so high end gear naturally goes on high end furniture.

Good furniture to put gear on is usually very robustly constructed so I don’t know if IKEA is a fair comparison. Anyhow the benefits will vary by room. With the rise of digital and vinyl more of a niche,  the actual need is less than ever.
