I have seven-foot, freestanding wooden bookcase in my home that wobbles a bit. It’s only a slight wobble, but it makes me nervous and I’d like to reinforce it somehow to make sure the sides stand perfectly straight and it doesn’t get worse. I remember once reinforcing the sides of a wooden bed frame using some sort of thin steel connectors, so I was thinking about trying something along those lines. The case has an open back, so it will have either be hidden behind the shelves or aesthetically pleasing. I can’t bracket the piece to the wall. I need advice about what to do and where to get the materials. Simply replacing the bookcase is not an option.

   The corners and tbrackets at each shelf also might try lbrackets at the easiest solution which would appear to the shelves attached to be excluded try lbrackets at each shelf also might try little cube of wood up under the problem and the corners.
