The Ikea particleboard/fiberboard wrapped legs OR solid wood dowels will both work. The design principle is: light, rigid, fast energy dissipation. The particle/fiberboard legs: (a) enable you to affix a spike and (b) aides in energy dissipation (see link below). A material of high mass with poor energy dissipation properties, however, would be a poor choice if one were attempting to implement this design principle.If you go with solid wood dowels, you'll be approximating this product which aspires to the same principles as the Ikea rack:
