I used the wall lumber storage system from Rockler, and designed and built a sheet goods rack to go underneath. I don't see the racks I used on Rockler's website and it looks like they've cheapened their offering (and raised the price), and distance between standards they show on their website is ridiculous. In any event, here's mine, although I'd be tempted to build them myself today.
