Use a router to make channels in the underneath of MDF and embed steel tubes in there. Or carbon fibre strips. Glue them in so they don't rattle around.

I always assume MDF won't be strong enough
Why? How wide are the shelves and and will they be supported at the back, or just the ends?

@el_presidente
I would like some recommmendations on ideas for boards to use as shelves. I'm just going to put them up with some ikea brackets on a solid brick wall in my spare room / study, to hold books.
Previously I've used planed timber which always seems warped, I went to B&Q to look round and their veneered chipboard shelves are cheap and nasty. I always assume MDF won't be strong enough. Any other suggestions?
thanks
