The plastic "fit in hole" shelf-supports come out too easily, with the

everything on it.
Each support works by pushing (inserting) its 1/3-inch-long cylinder
part into the predrilled hole; four such holes, each with one of these
plastic inserts, support the four corners of a shelf.
One way to keep a support from slipping out of its hole would
be to glue the cylinder part into the hole.
Disadvantage: you can never get it out again, should you
want to change the spacing between the shelves.
Question: is there some kind of a WEAK glue that will hold up to a
point, but then will break its bond, allowing you to remove the
plastic support?
If the supports are the kind that have a metal or plastic "L" on the pin
then your shelves are too short. They should be long enough so that the
support pins *cannot* come out.
If they are just cylindical pins you can make the hole smaller - think "flat
toothpick" - or the pin larger. You could make it larger by putting on a
dab of cyanoacrylate (instant glue) and letting it dry before inserting.
When you can't smell it, it is dry.
