  I'm surprised no one has suggested metal industrial shelving. It ain't

comes up if you put "industrial metal shelving" into Metacrawler (or 
your own favorite search):

You need to put in some sort of bookends, I assume, since the ends are 
open, but this seems to be a good no-nonsense approach.
