Looking for cheapish Hi-Fi rack for large amplifier

Hi. I'm looking for a hi-fi rack with 4-5 shelves, one of which can hold my Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista integrated amplifer, which is rather large:

483mm wide x 480mm deep x 167mm high / 30 kg

and it's smaller power supply:

364mm wide x ??? deep (looks like the MF website is wrong) x 167 mm high / 16 kg

I'm not fussed about fancy shelves which insulate vibrations and so on as my hi-fi doesn't have any moving parts. Wood or glass - don't really mind. I know I can get a rack for like 100+ quid per shelf, but I have really torn through my upgrade budget and don't want to spend a fortune on a shelf, but I also want my amp to A: fit and B: not fall through the shelf.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

(Loction East London/Essex in case anyone asks)

If you're DIY handy there's always the TNT Flexy:

and you can make it to any size you like.
