I want to add more shelving to my pantry, there’s about 6 feet above the top. Would it be safe to add more shelves or would they topple over?

    If you attached your shelving to the wall-securing it into the studs--your shelves should not topple over. I have freestanding wire shelving units in my closet pantry. My husband used washers and screws to secure the units to the wall.

    Add wood strips to wall screwing into studs. Then place shelves on the supports. You can add some screws through the shelves to keep them from moving.

    Secure to wall like a child's dresser so they won't topple over.

    Thanks to all for the helpful information. As you can see from my picture, I added the top shelf and it worked out just fine. My pantry even seems larger now.

    Thanks a million everyone
