Help dealing with PAX warping/shelf dipping

Hello guys. I have PAX cases for my statues and it looks like the shelves are starting to dip a bit in the middle. I'm trying not to panic and run around in circles yelling to the stars. Rather I am wondering if there are some good supports I could buy that a layman like me could put in to help prevent the shelves from leaning any further, and of course from breaking.

Any tips you got would be great, but links would be even sweeter!

I used metal brackets that run in from of the shelf and the back.
like this but black.Just screw them in front and in the back.It will prevent from bending.

- double shelf
- have brackets underneath to support. They are very versatile and great bang for buck with some easy re enforcments that you can buy from any hardware store.

Do you know where I can get them in black? Also I am a bit confused as to how you are using them.

the width of the track is slightly greater than the thickness of your shelves. Slide them over the front and back and screw them down. This will give your flimsy fake wood a strong steel spine.
