It is estimated that every five seconds, one BILLY bookcase is sold somewhere in the world. Pretty impressive considering we launched BILLY in 1979. It’s the booklovers choice that never goes out of style.

Not what it once wasStephenSadly Billy is not what he once was, and the additional shelves you purchase today will not fit in properly with original Billy’s or even ones from a decade ago. The birch finish is not the same colour as of old, and doesn’t even have the same fixings.
Billy extra glass shelfAnaFit for purpose and easy to install. Well priced for 2 shelves in pack.
Perfect for my needsSueI bought the Billy slim bookcase with glass doors so that I could display my Wedgewood collection. The cupboard was easy to erect and install attaching it to the wall. I took a while deciding whether this would be suitable for my needs, and I visited the instore showroom to have a discussion with an IKEA advisor/salesperson. I am very happy with the advice I had, that included a suggestion to get it delivered as it was too long to fit into a car or ute.
Simple but elegantStephenThe Billy range is easy to assemble. While having a solid presence the range adds too rather than dominates the aesthetic of the space.
Great alternative to timber shelfBrendaLove the open look with glass shelves. They give a little bit more height between each shelf. Great for Lego displays too. Easy to install.

Billy Glass ShelfJudyThese shelves are terrific if you are using the billy bookcase as a display unit. The Billy/Oxford combination with glass shelves have made a perfect doorway block from my previously walkthrough kitchen. The old dining room is now a study. Glass looks great and thinner than the supplied timber shelves
Love themJacquelineAgain bought 2 added glass shelves but want 4 more and lights changed out back panel for painted VJ board look nice when completed the only down side had to make larger cut outs to go over my 90mm skirtings

My wife loves itChrisPut several of these into Billy bookshelves. Easy to put in with provided hardware and looks terrific displaying my wife's collections.
Good, butHeatherThe shelf itself is fine, but I bought an extra glass shelf for each of the 3 Billy bookshelves with doors, after I'd had someone come in and assemble them. Being grey metallic colour, no matching shelf so went with glass. However won't go in with the fixings they provide without removing the doors which I'm not prepared to do, so had to order special 3mm shelf pins to rest shelves on as not the usual 5mm available at Bunnings. Works, but just hope it's secure enough. Recommend, with provisos.

Material
What is glass?
Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.
