This is non-sliding though. I wonder if this one is good for me for cutting a bunch of shelving for the closets, or should I wait for a sliding miter?
It's doable (just flip the board halfway through cut), but if you're doing a bunch just save yourself the time and hassle by spending a bit more on a sliding meter saw. The DeWalt goes on sale regularly and has good resale value because it's the standard saw used in Construction.

The cut capacity for this saw is 8" at 90 degrees (square end cut). So, if your shelves are going to be larger than 8" but less than 16", you would need to cut the board once, flip the board, and cut it again. This would quickly become a hassle for many boards and you may wish you had bought the sliding version which is $170 more or gone with a cheaper sliding saw.
The sliding Metabo is nice because the rails are fixed and the saw slides back and forth on them, minimizing the saw's depth. It has a cut capacity of 12".

Dust collection on these saws and especially the sliding saw will be poor.
Table saw might be better for cross-cutting shelves.
Buy a sliding saw with a smaller blade.
Just grab the Bauer 10" slider from Harbor freight. Unless you are cutting large base or crown, the slider will be more useful
