There are industrial versions of that design that sit against the wall.
I don't know how useful or a hindrance it might be, but I suggest if you are adamant to make, then make the platen able to hold a router aswell.

They're called linear rails, and there are quite a few variants. I think the guides used in the video are SCS10UU, where 10 stands for the diameter of the rod in milimeters.
