Agree with the above, I would use 1x2 around the perimeter to make it easier since it’ll be minimal amount of cutting. I also don’t like the cross brace of the brackets. The furring strips you linked to will work. However, take a look at the non-furring 1x2s. They are a few bucks more but will be straighter.

Couple of other notes:

  1. Pre drill the 1x2
  2. I like torx head screws. Grk makes some great products. The R4 or finish screws are awesome.
  3. Make sure you screw the plywood into the cleats

Thanks for the advice! Should I run the cleats on 3 sides or just 2 sides of the shelf?
