I have a bookshelf that does the same thing. What I can do is take all the books off and flip the shelves over. I do it every year or two.

But yes, it will.continue to get worse. That's the problem with the cheap materials they use.

Okay I see. It's on been on the shelf around a week and it's only slightly bowed atm.

Will flipping the shelf not weaken it?

Eventually. You could try to strengthen it with a piece of strapping on edge screwed to the front bottom of the shelf. Or replace them with something more sturdy.
