Any 1 inch thick board will do for the shelf and support. For the support, you can use a cheap furring strip like this one. www.homedepot.com/p/1-in-x-2-in-x-8-ft-Furring-Strip-Board-160954/100009348
One of the reasons I kept the right side of the closet as just one rod is to make room for my wife's long dresses. Before I started the project, I assessed what type of clothing needed to be hung and how to hang the rods to accommodate for it.
You never really showed about screwing the strips into structure in the wall. I have a project for a family member, due to some CLOWN mounting closet rods into nothing but drywall-----double rod set-up and, of course, where did all the clothes end up? On the floor! These so-called "handy men or women" who should not be doing any kind of construction work. I see you had a perfect example of that before you started where the strips were "fastened" to nothing but drywall. Shoddy work and someone probably paid to have it done. So maddening to see work done like that!
Thank you for sharing. I am trying to get the guts to put in a second shelf inn my old condo built in 1983
Thanks for sharing with us, blessings 🙏❤️
You reused the wood pieces, but I don’t have any, so what size board (height and thickness) do I need?

What about dresses??
