In my experience, the pieces that use the clip connection can sometimes become weak over time. I had one particular shelf with clips of various sets and ages that for some reason was heavily affected by the clip elements weakening in grip strength or just splitting in two; there was a bathroom with a shower on the other side of the wall, so I speculate that the humidity could have been the cause but I really don’t know. This shelf also didn’t get much sunlight, especially compared to other shelves without as much of a problem. Is there any possible source of humidity by where these clips have been weakening/breaking the most?
