I'd use 2x1 at the sides & back of wall.
Then White or cream conti board cut to size for the shelves.

good point mate but i think he wants them wider than cill width good call though

 

[beddy]

you can get sills pretty wide made. how wide does he need it?

problem wi conti board is its only usually 12-15mm thick, fine up to about a metre wide and 250 deep but any bigger than that and some tw@t will fill em with filing boxes and theyll bow like f'ck...

still, if you get some o that dexian? racking stuff... like metal strip that you slot the brackets in, fire a few uprights down the length of the wall and a shed load of brackets you can stick what you want on it then... at whatever height suits...

dunno if its called dexian, just a name i had in my head..
