Warm wood and cold metal intersect in these industrial-style bookshelves, which can be super rustic or smooth and refined. Some are entirely new; others recovered from old factories. And others still fall somewhere in between, with some components that have been salvaged or recycled. Love them or hate them, these bookcases are cropping up everywhere.

Oh, I love these! I feel they look great in a kitchen with dishes on them, or cook books, the possibilities are endless!
Love, Jamie Herzlinger
I really prefer the steel barrister bookcases. Anyone know where to find those?
IKEA HYLLIS unit. $14.99. Add some wooden pallets and you can get this look and save yourself a lot of money. Though I love all of the units!
metal + wood = my all time favorite look.
i got the ikea hyllis to try to fill the void this west elm shelf created :

I like the look of the Hyllis but it's awfully flimsy. Maybe if mounted to the wall?
I finally have a name for my style! Regarding the Hyllis question - higher grade plywood and garage shelving! Works great and can be easily repurposed into the garage down the line.
The Aiden set includes a kitchen bar unit.
Love the design, but was too large for my kitchen space. I am selling it, ended up with Ballard Design shelving and very happy.

Really cute! But $200 minimum? That's just too much.
Like GOTMILK said--you can get metal and wood industrial/garage shelving at building supply stores, and it is really heavy-duty. There are a lot of options for under $100 (and several for under $50 if you need a smaller shelf.) If the shelf you want comes with particle board for the wooden shelf inserts, you can get some plywood cut down to replace it (and probably still come out ahead on price.) If the finish on the steel isn't what you want, there's always the various faux metal finish paints available.
There's also this post: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/morgans-amazing-diy-shelving-97760 . If they could build that size shelving unit for around $200, then it's probably still possible to build a smaller one for less, even though the prices are from 3 years ago.
Pretty much all of the new shelves here are made in China or India, with the exception of Retro. That's too bad that people expect furniture like this to be under $500. I'd rather buy American!

I found thisd article whilst looking for other information on wooden garages however I have to say there are some great ideas here to create industrial home fittings. Garage doors seem a great way to create new fittings whilst old church benches are also great.
I really like the look and feel of these 10 industrial style metal shelves racks. That said, they are little bit pricy. Here is a website link that represents a manufacture of affordable metal shelving racks for storage, they are located in New York, yes American made shelving solutions: http://www.justshelfit.com/metal-shelving-racks-for-storage.html
