Hello everyone, I have installed several IKEA Platsa units on the wall and have noticed a slight wobbling, especially when the shelves are loaded. My question is how to effectively and permanently eliminate this wobbling? I have checked the basic setup; the units are properly assembled and attached using the IKEA mounting brackets, which I consider stable. However, I still feel a bit of movement, particularly at the corner joints. Does anyone have experience with tips or tricks to secure wobbly Platsa units against swaying or rocking? Thank you in advance for any advice! Which additional measures provide the most stability?

Securing screws with a bit of threadlocker or adhesive Thank you very much! Are there any recommendations for suitable threadlockers that can be safely used in household environments? I want to avoid anything that might make the screws unusable later or cause damage when removing them.
For furniture, removable thread lockers such as medium-strength threadlocker (e.g., Loctite 243) are suitable. They prevent loosening due to vibrations but can be removed with tools during disassembly. This is the best option for home use, as it does not permanently damage the screws.
