What support do I need for a melamine shelf?

I'm looking to add some shelves to my empty built-in wardrobe. I'm trying to keep cost down so plan to use melamine shelves but don't know how I should connect it to the walls?

Would I be best to attach wooden supports to the wall and the sit the melamine on top of that and screw it in or are metal brackets the way to go? I don't know how sturdy these options will be the shelves will be about 1600mm wide and 450mm deep.

I would like them to be sturdy enough to hold books as the plan is to convert the wardrobe to a bookshelf.
