I always end up in decision paralysis because I think of way too many possibilities. Is there a way I can avoid brackets? If I am able to drill into studs should I just use normal wood screws? I'll be using it as a tea/spice shelf.

It's got those little rings at the top for a screw. I'd make sure both can get into a stud and then use a good anchor screw that can go in pretty deep since that shelf looks pretty big and heavy. Tho maybe it's just the picture and it's smaller than it looks. You did say it's a spice shelf; from the pic it looks like it's at least 3 feet tall and could hold a lot of books haha
