I'm going to build some shelving inside built in wardrobes and plan to
buy the screws online, what size/type do I need?



chipboard is real weak stuff, thin screws tear it easily. The fatter
the screws you can use the stronger with chip.

More to the point you need parallel sided screws and ones with a deep
thread, old fashioned plain steel woodscrews really don't work well in
chipboard.
