I saw the plans and hardware at Rockler, maybe you could hire someone in the wood workers club to build you a simple one.

We had horizontal ones in the lake cabins we rented out when I was a kid.
My dad and his handy man/carpenter buddy build them.

If you altered the plan a bit to use Ikea cabinet doors as the doors are a lot of the labor in the project as I remember, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal.
Maybe I am remembering it that way as my job was to do all the sanding and after the 8th one I felt like I had been sanding doors all summer.

Don't know just a thought.
