We bought William a Billy bookcase from IKEA. We put all his books on it. After a few weeks, the shelves started to bow downwards and the sides were bowing outwards. The result was that the shelves fell off and deposited the books all over his floor in the middle of the night, scaring the crap out of all of us. They don't make 'em like they used to.
I got a length of threaded rod, some washers, and some domed nuts; drilled two holes, cut the rod to length with a hacksaw, and tied the whole thing back together. A technique I've seen used on Grand Designs when renovating old barns!
