<The "prefab" steel-and-particle-board shelf units available out there

They are good.

Yes there are, Grainger is never cheap though.
As someone that has done considerable wood work, Pop was a carpenter, I
know how to buy materials and use basic tools to make nice looking stuff.
Anywho, for 80$ I'd build a long wall of wood racks. Why? The average
racks are way overbuilt. Using 3/8" or maybe 1/2" plywood or OSB is good
and 2x4s for uprights are adaquate but 1/2 or 1/3 pine straping is good
for the rest and very cheap. If carefully done using screws appearance and
disassembly should not be a problem.
