Planning to load moving boxes with a mix of things you find in the attic, such as Christmas decorations, engine parts, and other stuff that should probably be tossed.
I don't know the weights but it shouldn't be too much.
Wooden shelves for storage are usually quite flimsy so I'm open to material suggestions for the posts as well.
Preferably it should be cheap, but still durable. I'd rather avoid expensive metal brackets everywhere.
Afraid it will be wobbly if I use 45x45 posts on all.
I would choose råspont for the shelves and press in some wood glue before putting the shelves together. It will be stable. 45x45 should be more than enough if you screw them into the back wall.
Consider how Ikea's Ivar series is built, it feels like you can load as much as you want on them and the sides there aren't particularly sturdy.
But you can cross-lay a metal strap on the back so it doesn't wobble..
Regular råspont is suitable for the shelves in that case, and both cheap
and good that they are joined together.
If you have a wall behind, you can attach a small furniture bracket there, so it holds the shelf..
Eti..
If it's a bit damp in the attic, don't use particle board, as it's more susceptible to mold. If we're talking price, find some long pallets/single-use pallets and use the boards from them, environmentally friendly and free
The moving box is 40cm high. Does a 50cm high shelf feel sufficient then, perhaps, so that one can lift out the box, maybe take a sneak peek? Or should one aim for an even larger gap between the shelves?

50 is enough. Don't make it too deep, deep and high shelves take up unnecessary space. Several small ones are more manageable.
Not centering the middle post ensures that the section closest to the wall can have 2 boxes next to it.
Then two lower shelves at the top where you can put lighter items.
Does the sketch seem to be going in the right direction?
- Maybe I should have 45x45 between the posts on the upper section as well, like at the bottom.
I would probably suggest using some cross braces, doesn't need to be heavy timber at all (batten looked cheap when I quickly checked prices per meter last time ) but building some triangles both at the back and on the outer sides adds a lot of stability, if you don't mind it looking a bit skewed.
Yes, I am open to running perforated metal strips as an X...
But these should not stand with the long side against the wall, but be freestanding. It would be nice to be able to pull out the boxes from either long side.
I will be able to secure one short side with a piece of perforated metal strip up to the roof truss. (½-story floor)
Ah, then it's a bit more difficult to tweak the stability in such an ugly way. Another cheap suggestion is that even if you skip expensive metal angles, the small ones aren't that costly, 2:29 at Byggmax right now, for example. Even if you screw in 20 as angle stabilizers, the lumber cost still dominates.
Maybe, haven't really made anything that tall myself, but my slatted bed base became surprisingly stable with a few angles. Another idea could be to check out http://woodgears.ca/storage/shelving.html - glue screwing and many cross braces for stability.
