WARNING! TIPPING HAZARD

WARNING! TIPPING HAZARD

Children have died from furniture tipping over. ALWAYS anchor your furniture to the wall with an anti-tip device. NEVER place a TV on any furniture other than a media/TV bench intended for this purpose. ALWAYS secure your TV by using an anchoring device. NEVER allow children to stand, climb, or hang on drawers, doors or shelves. NEVER open more than one drawer at the time. ALWAYS place heaviest items in the lowest drawers.

BILLY bookcase is a beloved icon that never goes out of style. Thanks to its versatility you can use it in many different ways at home – regardless of whether you store books or everyday items in it.

Article Number406.165.48

Product details

BILLY is a versatile bookcase that works just as good as a storage unit and is suitable to use in many different ways at home.

The shallow and adjustable shelves help you customise your BILLY and allow you to use it as you like – for storing everyday items, memorabilia or other things you collect.​

BILLY has a simple and timeless design that is easy to personalise by adding boxes, lighting and your favourite items.

Make it even more personal by adding doors, allowing you to both hide and display things. In this way your BILLY can get new functions and a new look as your style and living situation changes.

A single unit can be enough storage for a limited space – but you can add more bookcases, extension units and shelves to create a larger storage solution if your needs change.

The wooden expression with a tactile wood texture brings a warm and natural feel into your home and adds a beautiful and vibrant look to the room.

The back panel fixes in place with snap fittings – making BILLY easy to assemble and disassemble, so you can bring it when moving instead of buying a new one.

Reviews

Billy white bookcasesSuzanneThey look amazing and were easy to assemble. I bought 3 of the 5 shelf cases to have side by side. Price was also great and IKEA were able to arrange delivery at a reasonable cost. So I’m very happy!5
Poor finishing for price of productTaylorWe recently purchased 5 Billy bookshelves in the Black/brown colour. We had them delivered which we knew was at risk of being damage in transit, but thankfully only one shelf was damaged due to delivery. We were able to build it and hide the damage. All of the shelves had scuffs or scratches on the parts. Most of it we were able to hide whilst building them by turning it over and choosing the best side. Some scratches that were on the outer sides of the shelf we were lucky enough to be able to hide by pushing them up against another shelf. However there are some on the interior that are still visible. Once again, we can hide with books, so although not noticeable, we know they are there and if we choose to rearrange the objects in our shelves the scratches would be visible again. I feel like the finishing details of the furniture were overlooked. Not happy considering the price you pay for them. Otherwise a sturdy shelf.2
The Billy BookcaseDannyThe bookcase was, as described. My biggest concern was the time and effort of putting it together. This was not anything to worry about the instructions and shelves were easy to read, understand and build. It took around 40 minutes as project with my daughter. IKEA you rule!!!5
Fantastic bookcasePaulaBookcase is awesome, it holds heaps of books5
Safety sticker cant be removed and is IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOKCASEHaileyI have been waiting years to get my own Billy bookcase, and I was so excited to get one this year. It feels like a really decent quality, the veneer is wrap around so there is no exposed material. BUT be warned, the safety sticker is not removable. Not in a cute "ill just get a solution and a razor blade and remove it" kind of way, in a IT WILL NOT BE REMOVED kind of way. I totally understand the safety concerns (which I followed, and bolted it to the wall accordingly), but now I am stuck with the ugliest warning sticker on a black oak bookshelf. It means even after adjusting the shelves where I can, and strategically stacking books, I can still see it. On top of all of this, the sticker isnt in any of the product photos, so you dont even know its going to be there until its too late. Honestly the most disappointing IKEA experience I have ever had. Please please please keep this in mind! If i had known, I wouldn't have bought this bookshelf.2
Beautiful walnut shelfCandySuper easy to build, and I’m just I love with it especially the shelf in walnut so beautiful definelty plan on buying more wish I could share pictures5
Classic BookcaseMartinBought the corner unit for a new study area. 2x80cmv & 1x40cm looks perfect. Love IKEA basics.5
Best bookcasesColinI have a house full of Billy bookcases from Ikea. They are easy to put together and provide excellent storage for a variety of items.5
New stickers ruin unitShellyThe new warning stickers are not only impossible to remove (on purpose), but they're stuck in the most visible spots, impossible to cover with a book or a decorative object, essentially ruining the whole purpose of the bookshelf as a display unit. I understand why they're there, but they could at least be placed in the same spot on each unit to at least look consistent (we have five units, and all the stickers are at different heights, which is very annoying). If I had known this was the case, I would have bought a different product elsewhere.2
Great option to store LEGOSarahWe added doors and have stored our Lego collection in it5
Billy Bookcase ReviewLawrenceLove this bookcase. Great look, keeps dust off the books with the glass doors. Well worth the cost5
Annoying ugly stickerViniciusWould be an amazing-looking bookcase if it wasn't for the ugly sticker which is impossible to remove without damaging the wood2

Billy BookcaseMeghanStaple in my home and my parents home. Always the go to for bookcases and other storage uses. Great with or without doors as well.5
Billy Throughout the YearsSamsonI always come back to Billy bookcase. I notice that the little changes made to make them better and more sturdier. I hope in the future I will be surprised with new changes that make them even better. Thank you.5
Style and functionJenniferLooks great, and the finish (including edges) is nicer than expected. Solid, sturdy construction holds a full shelf of heavier books well, without bowing. Very happy with this purchase.5

Great shelf with slimeline, frees up floor space

I have several Kallax units, great if you have bins, but if you have smaller items, books and binders, this is vastly superior. Tall with good capacity. Has freed up significant real estate! Great for home libraries and craft rooms.

The Billy book shelf with the doors added makes the perfect display case. My husband loves it.
