Wardrobe Shelf Falling Off Soon

Hi Everyone

Anyone encounter this before?

The metal support under the shelf started to bend down.

What is the cause?

I have not place anything on it yet and it is already like this.

This is just one of the metal support that is bent, others around are also similar just difference in the degree of bending.

Need advice.

Hi luiz78,

if your wardrobe was made custom made by contractor, u may want to give them a call.

Mine was ready made & bought from store...but this problem of the shelf coming off due to the hole supporting the insert to support the shelf only happened becos my son tried to climb on it!...not able to take the load.

Yes, this is a new custom made bedroom wardrobe.

Yet to place anything on it and spot this when I was cleaning the surface and bottom of the shelf

I Understand the contractor can come and repair it by drilling more holes and insert more metal support.

However, will this solve the problem as it seems like the plywood wall is not strong enough to support the shelf itself.

The metal support is not damaged, it is the wooden hole that collapsed causing the metal support to tilt like the picture shown.

Let alone when I dump all my boxes or clothes and other heavy items.

What should be needed to rectify this?

Hi luiz78,

If you notice, most wardrobes & cabinets uses this kinda shelving holding method.

cos of its flexibility to adjust the height of the individual shelves.

To secure the shelves from coming off, install those L-shaped brackets with screws to secure the shelves to the wall of the wardrobe.
