Wow, I love your shelves, deeper & sturdier looking than usual! Good application since most of your things are in bins. I am not a fan of typical coated wire shelves, but they can be adapted. Regardless of shelf type, you can cover any wire shelf (on the bottom) with some plastic corrugated signboard cheaply (call sign shop-about $12 for 4'x8') to make it smooth & level. It needs to be strong if you will be loading it down with fabric; all wire shelving is not equal. Pros: Faster to install & be ready to use, than wood.
If you go with wood shelves, as someone said...needs 2 or 3 good coats of polyurethane cured between coats, or it can remain wet underneath & never dry right (Ask me how I know:cry:.) Wood can leach resins & stain your fabrics otherwise. I suppose you could put shelfpaper or wallpaper stapled down for a quick job.
