Good morning everyone, I have a problem with my IKEA Billy bookcases, which I have stacked quite high and heavily loaded. Unfortunately, they wobble noticeably when I lean on them or take something out. I have already checked that they are screwed to the wall, which they are, but the wobbling still persists. I am interested in learning what options are available to permanently fix this wobbling with heavily loaded Billy bookcases. Are there special reinforcements, additional anchors, or other tricks to improve stability? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Just a reminder: Even load distribution on the shelf is important. If individual compartments become too heavy, it negatively affects stability and can cause wobbling.

So, I had the MDF board cut yesterday and screwed it in from the inside. Additionally, I installed brackets on the wall and placed small plastic wedges at the bottom. The wobbling has significantly decreased, and I am very satisfied! Thank you all for the support; you really helped me. I can definitely recommend this.
