Reviews
Easy to install doorAnonymous reviewerDoor is great to make the Billy bookcase into a storage cupboard.
The handles were not great but as there were no pre-drilled holes for them I bought some better ones
Different finish to previous doorsAnonymous reviewerWe were disappointed to open the box and find that the finish and colour is completely different to the doors we bought in 2021ish for our other bookcase! They now have a plastic finish rather than being oak veneer (easier to clean ;) but doesn't match existing furniture and not as good quality). The photos on the website don't seem to have been updated as you can see the texture of the veneer. Also, the website mentions the doors won't fit bookcases bought before 2014, it would be good to also mention they don't match bookcases bought before a certain time too!
Great product Anonymous reviewerLooks great and easy to put together and hang. Very little effort or time and hardly any adjustment required once fixed to the cupboard
DoorsAnonymous reviewerGood looking doors for the cost
Inferior quality to previous version of doorAnonymous reviewerThese seem to be more plasticky than other products and main panel is loose in frame.
Door frontAnonymous reviewerPerfect addition to the cupboard I already had, it fits perfectly and now hides all my clutter
Great valueAnonymous reviewerGood quality great finish and great price
Great doors Anonymous reviewerThey have really smartened up my Billy bookcases and easy to fit
Doors for bookcase!Anonymous reviewerGame changer! Added doors to bottom of billy bookcase, top for books and bottom for out of sight storage!! Not keen on the handles that can with them, but inexpensive to change and fit.
Beautiful and slick but easy to installAnonymous reviewerThe doors transformed our billy bookcase from a toy-filled mess to a slick and elegant look. They were super easy to install and it didn’t take much time at all. Very happy with the purchase!
Nice finishing touchAnonymous reviewerI bought these to hide the clutter on my Billy bookcase shelves. The added bonus is they make them look expensive and more solid furniture.
Tidy finish Anonymous reviewerGreat addition to the bookcase, makes it look so much tidier, nice slick finish l.
Exactly what I wantedAnonymous reviewerThe doors look great and do the job of keeping my little one from pulling all of the DVD's of the shelves.
Would have been better to have possibly had the options of having a pack of 2, instead of having to buy two individual ones.
Otherwise, easy to assemble for the most part.
Make Billy storage Discrete Anonymous reviewerA lightweight, bright and yet discrete solution for the Billy cases. Very happy with them.
Not the same :(Anonymous reviewerBe very careful with these if your bookcases are more than a couple of years old.
The current products aren’t wood veneer, they’re a foil finish. Also if your bookcases are older than 2014 you'll have to drill new holes to fit the doors.
Our bookcases are probably 20 years old so are now a bit darker than they were originally but the new doors I ordered are a completely different colour. Several shades lighter & look like fake wood :(
I think it’s a shame that IKEA have presumably swapped to a foil finish to keep cost down as it’s just not the same. Anyone with several existing units like us now have no option to change the look or layout.
I’m returning the 'oak' doors I ordered & going to try black. Not really what I wanted though.
Finish doesn't match bookcaseAnonymous reviewerPurchased these today, the bookcase was purchased around 2022. They have changed the finish from a natural oak to a printed flat plastic laminate. The finish does not match the bookcase and you cannot buy the older style. The colour is completely different.
I'm pretty mad about it. From using lots of natural materials responsibly, the have gone to using plastic. There is no texture at all, just plastic. I'd rather they cost more but maintained the quality and their principles.
Good White DoorAnonymous reviewerExactly as described. Very easy to install with good instructions. I haven't used the door knobs supplied. Can easily be upcycled to your own tastes giving you exactly what you want.
Great doors but caution - aren't for full height BillyAnonymous reviewerDoors are great, but beware - they don't fit full height Billy bookshelves.
Also quite expensive for what they are.
We got one of the full height Billy bookshelves and two of these doors (unfixed) second hand, and they didn't fit without me drilling new bracket holes to lower the bottom door 5mm. I assumed I was being silly but having bought a matching set of two of these doors and another full height Billy, directly from IKEA, I find exactly the same problem. It's easily resolvable if you have a drill and an ounce of common sense. Shame whoever designed the doors at IKEA didn't have that common sense. Just 5mm shorter and they would fit perfectly.
Doors for oxbrrg bookcaseAnonymous reviewerLooks so much better now with doors on

Material
What is fibreboard?
Fibreboard is a stable and durable material made of leftover wood from the wood industry. A durable outer layer of paint or laminate is added to the board. The difference between various types of fibreboards, such as HDF and MDF, is mainly the thickness, yet also how impact-resistant they are. This determines if we will use them for bed frames, sofa frames, kitchen fronts, wardrobe doors, or something completely different.
