Metal shelving wobbles: check the floor and adjustable feet

If an empty metal shelving unit rocks, first work out whether an adjustable foot has lost contact with the floor or the frame itself is out of square.

Careful work begins with checking the substrate, dimensions and supplied parts.

Is the whole unit rocking or is the frame shifting?

Look at the feet of the unloaded unit from floor level. Photograph any visible gap, including tile joints directly under a foot. If all feet are in contact but the uprights shift relative to the shelves, check the assembly instructions for missing connectors or damage. Do not shake a tall unit to reproduce the problem.

What adjustable feet can correct

On models designed with adjustable feet, the unloaded frame can be levelled where it will stand, within the range in the instructions. Loose cardboard or offcuts can slip out. Foot adjustment will not straighten a bent upright or secure a shelf that has not locked into its connectors.

Check stability before reloading

A frame that feels steady may still require the manufacturer’s anti-tip fixing. If the unit leans significantly or may be overloaded, stop using it until it has been assessed. Send Dima a wide photo, close-ups of all feet and connectors, and the model label. Say whether the wobble started after assembly, after moving the unit or only when items were added.

For a unit that still needs assembly or anti-tip fixing, see the preparation guide for heavy metal shelving.
