Like hell it does. Nothing like as easy to make completely
rigid vertical frames that support the shelves,


Unless you want the thing toppling over, you need to screw it to the wall
at the top, whatever its made of. Steel, wood, whatever.

Depends on its dimensions.

Indeed. But the ceiling height bookshelves which were mentioned,
presumably around 8ft high - should ideally be no more than 9 or 10
inches deep so as to make the best use of available space. With
all the weight towards the front edge, than than being pushed in
against the wall at the back.
