Did you forget to add cross-braces [0]? Ivar has always been rock-solid for me.

Yeah despite my complaints about LACK above I have had only good experiences with the IVAR stuff, made out of real wood.
Even with cross bracing it had too much wobble, which would pull the short pins out of the cross board, and if you bumped a shelf it would hop out and then fall.
That sounds like you didn’t properly clip the shelves on (it takes a bit of force). In any case, that’s not how Ivars usually behave.
