Yes, Swimmer, I used 1/4 ply for everything. But it is not ordinary construction grade stuff -- this is baltic birch ply. A little more expensive, no splinters, looks good on both sides and the edges. Reinforce where needed. Support it as needed.
And note that the shelves, while long, are only a foot wide. So they don't sag in that dimension. If you need shelves that are two feet by two fee, for example, I doubt that quarter inch would be stout enough.
