whats your skill set and tooling? cabinets is the way to go, but can be pricey if you have to buy them.... they are really easy to make, and 100% customizable if you have some basic tools and a little know how... Not to mention they hide the ugly inside, and keep your stuff dust free... All you really need a straight edge, saw horses, circular saw. tape measure and a kreg jig, and you can get in the game... I prefer dados, for shelves, as your not relying on the fasteners for loads, and those can be made with a cheap router, and a bit.. takes more time but works more better... Youtube it... Its really not hard, and a few sheets of some actual good sanded ply wood will out last any store bought cabinet... The reason your shelves fail is because they are designed too... A company that makes shelves that actually last does not have a sustainable business model.. They would rather sell you a product that last 4-5 years for half the cost that it costs to sell you a product that you can pass on to you children because they will run out of customers... When you buy custom premium wood shelving/cabinets, your paying a lot for the skills/tools for some guy to make it.. Cut out the middle man, and make something that will stand the test of time, and sit back with a beer and enjoy something you create thats functional...
