There's that. I find particle board and OSB
untrustworthy.
As Fred suspected, the rivet-lock ones with particle-board shelves
do tend to change over time. In a decade in a basement even with a
dehumidifier, heavy objects easily distort the shelves. They may
be fine for light-duty.
Current graham cracker is a lot different than the earlier materials.
It may be worth re-trying some forms of it.
If it's the same one as I think that it might be, . . .
for a little while, Costco had a very nice heavy version.
It has recesses in the shelf supports, such that each shelf is supported
around its entire perimeter (and a brace), and the graham cracker is
recessed enough that its edges are protected.
I have been a little surprised at how well it has held up.
