Looks good..The only problem I have with 3/4"  shelves is over time weight will eventually make them sag. We usually build a small plywood frame under them, about an inch or so,  cap the top with 1/2" ply and 1/4 under the frame and a facing to hide the frame...The frame is just strips of 3/4" plywood joined with glue and pin nails, sometimes a shallow dado housing for the cross pieces for a bit of extra strength. Makes the shelves thicker and a whole lot stronger.  Turn plywood (the shelf framing) on its edge and it doesn't sag to the typical weight people put on their shelving..
We're building a lot of pantry shelves and people like to pile lots of canned goods on them and canned goods get heavy stacked 4 and 5 deep..
Any way.. A bunch of drawers for someone's extreme closet..How many closets have 32 drawers? I don't think we have a single drawer in any closets here at home..lol
