The shelves are made with a red oak frame and a 3/8" plywood bottom. They have been in use since November 2014 with no issues or visible wear.
I did the same for our closet-converted to pantry. I used poplar for the sides and ply for the bottom on 100lb full extension slides. I did that about 15-16 years back and it's fine. I didn't finish the wood though, just left it bare and it's fine.
Distraction could lead to dismemberment!
