I actually used corner braces which are marginal. I wish that I had used two sheets of plywood cut to fit and painted the same color as the shelves.
You will find that, unless up close to a rear wall, that it is nice to have stop blocks at the back of each cubicle. This keeps the records from pushing through. I used small wood strips, but a sheet of plywood at the back would have solved both problems. It would also have taken less time.
From experience, I believe that you can exceed the weight limit with no problems at all. The Expedit shelf unit is super strong in the vertical, and you can fill each cubicle with records. The only weakness is in the horizontal plane.
You can see my front picture in the link at the very bottom of this thread, and you will see no sagging at all. Bill.
