The HEJNE shelves have gone done drastically in quality. Picked up a new version ~3 years ago. Flimsy, wood split while assembling due to flaws. Just re-assembled my mother-in-law's older version. Tighter grain, thicker wood, just more stable. The IVAR shelves have also started cheaping out. The shelving support rails/clips/whatever were metal and are now plastic. Perhaps they're strong enough but our old version has been going strong since the mid-90s under heavy use. Glue-lam is a strong material. We are in our 50s and live like students...
