Reviews

Misleading description and poor quality Anonymous reviewerAs others have said (and I really wish I'd read the reviews before buying and assembling), this is not a single bookcase but three separate smaller bookcases. There's nothing provided to join them together, and the top is not quite flat due to the sides of each individual unit protruding slightly above the top. This should have been made much clearer in the description. I will join them together with screws, but not much I can do about the top without considerable expense. The chipboard is also not the best quality and small chips were present in several places after I opened the boxes. I live miles from an IKEA so it's not really economically viable to return them that way. 1
Very disappointing.Anonymous reviewerThis comes as three units which means the top of the unit is very unsightly, have had to get wood to go along the top. Nothing provided to join the units together and the cut out for the skirting board is neither use nor ornament. It has cost quite a lot of money for a joiner to make this look halfway decent.1
Solid once builtAnonymous reviewerEasy instructions! My 14 year old daughter built it.5

Billy BookcaseAnonymous reviewerI bought 6 Billy Bookcases to store all of my craft equipment and patchwork fabric in my sewing room. They’re so easy to put together and I managed to do them myself ( 72 yrs young) following the easy to understand instructions. They’re really sturdy and come in a good assortment of sizes.5

Material

What is particleboard?

Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
