Hello everyone, I have a Billy bookcase from IKEA at home that still wobbles despite being fastened to the wall multiple times. I have securely mounted the shelf to the wall using the original angle brackets, fixing it in at least three places. All screws are tight, and the wall plugs are suitable for the wall material (concrete). Still, I notice some wobbling even with light pressure and during normal use. The wall is even, and I followed the assembly instructions step by step.
My question is: Why does my Billy bookcase wobble despite multiple wall fixings? Where could the problem be if all fastenings appear to be correctly installed and the wall seems stable? I look forward to your assessments and possible solutions!

I share the same view as @luAlbert1: The BILLY is a piece of furniture aimed at medium-level requirements. IKEA’s assembly instructions provide a solid foundation, but individual adjustments are often necessary. I will test the larger brackets now and, when possible, see how the shelf performs with additional floor anchoring.
