Sturdy clothes rail

I am looking for a sturdy clothes rail. I have tried a couple with no luck. They seem to be cheaply made and flimsy. I need it to function as a wardrobe rather than as additional storage.

Can anyone point me towards a properly made rail?

Is there somewhere that would sell me a commercial type one, like shops would use?

Edited to add: I hope this is the right place for this, I wasn't sure.

    I went to a shopfitters website (closed down now, sadly). They offer commercial grade stuff, and mine has lasted five years without a problem. Cost about £25 including home delivery, but I wanted a fairly specific size and set up.

    Have a look online for shop-fitters.

    Just to say, avoid Wilkos clothes rails :) They're cheap, but they are rubbish - they take one look at a shirt and just give up.

    I got mine from Argos very cheaply recently, I use it as a wardrobe and it's more than sturdy enough to hold 30 or so hangers of items including coats.
