It is child's play to make a very functional rack. Threaded rods with painted PVC pipe spacers and large maple butcher block cutting boards. You can even buy fancy feet for the bottom if you like. I would use casters. Makes the rack much easier to move. Cost? Maybe $500 at the most.
I would much prefer spending the money on a new cartridge rather than a rack. Many of them are flimsy. The only equipment that needs isolation is the turntable.
