My wife and I currently have two shelf units in our house:

These are 25+ years old and I would like to make a 3rd shelf unit that
is similar to these. I can find shelves with no problem but I am
having a very hard time finding the upright rods anywhere. Here is a
closer pic of the rods:

If you have a friend with a lathe, they wouldn't be very hard to
duplicate. Barring that, check out your local woodturners club. I'll bet
there's a group nearby. Someone there would almost certainly be willing
to duplicate them for a fee.

By the way, that's a nice Disney collection you've got, and well
showcased. I'll bet that took some years to accumulate.
