if the shelf is pulling away from the wall then stop using it and reattach it to the wall at a stud. If the shelf bows down add additional brackets to support the weight.
If they are pulling away from the wall, then adding wood shelves will not help. The shelves have to be attached to wall area that will support the shelves, full. I used foam board on some of my shelves to help keep more organized and distribute weight. Just buy foam board at a big box retail store and cut to fit shelves. But again, if they are pulling away from the wall, this needs to be addressed first.
You could also put a carpet runner underneath the shelving over the tiles.
hadnt thought of that, thanks!
First, make sure the unit is attached to the wall with heavy-duty screws going into the studs. I’m afraid that your hubby will have to relinquish the wood idea. I strongly recommend a thin piece of plywood laid over the top of the wire shelves. This will help to evenly distribute the weight throughout the entire shelf.
First make sure the brackets are screwed into the wall studs. If so get longer screws. Make sure you get wood screws. Then get more brackets to add more support, again screwing into the wall studs. Laying foam board over the wire is a good suggestion since wood will add more weight.
