Hello everyone,
I have the problem that my Ikea Hemnes shelves are not stable on my uneven wooden floor. Especially when I slightly shake them, you can clearly feel the wobbling – which is not ideal for larger shelves, especially when you put heavy books or decorative items inside.
The floor is not extremely tilted, but uneven enough that the shelf feet do not make even contact at every point. I have considered using some kind of pads or wedges, but I want to make sure the stabilization is permanent and secure, without damaging the shelves or affecting their appearance.
Does anyone have experience or tips on the best way to stabilize Ikea Hemnes shelves on uneven floors? Which tools, materials, or methods work particularly well here?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible to adjust the shelves from underneath somehow – for example, with adjustable feet? Or is it better to use fixed shims?Adjustable feet are generally not designed for Ikea Hemnes. That’s why shims are recommended.
Plastic shims with a ribbed surface are stable and prevent slipping.
It’s best to try several shims to level the floor as accurately as possible.
