BILLY
605.252.79It 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.

Billy extension bookshelfPennyThis Billy extension fits perfectly on top of my new bookshelf.
Billy height extension unitHelenRaises the height of a bookcase to the be t level.
Adding extra height and storage is so easy with the height extension unit.NicoleEasy to put together, the height extension blends seamlessly to my existing Billy units. You can't tell that it's an addition, and matches perfectly.
Serves the purposeCarolyndoes what i wanted but disappointed that the colour i wanted was not available in australia
Very functionalKenI have purchased many of the Billy variations and they all have very simple assembly.
Difficult to add to existing bookshelfPamelaThe instructions show a hole on either side of the top of the Billy bookshelf, as inserts for special screws. These did not exist on my Billy bookshelf, so I ended up securing the extender with two angle brackets (requiring drilling). I shouldn't have to do this. Instructions should clearly say "Your 107cm high Billy bookshelf will not have these pre-drilled holes, so ignore this section of the instructions". I think Ikea could do better, considering the number of these units they sell.
Good extension to the billyAnthonyGood extension to the billy bookcase
Extending BillySarahI have high ceilings so was thrilled to be able to add the extensions for more book space and to make the shelves look neater in the room by filling more space. Super easy to attach.

Inadequate assembly informationMichellePurchased these extensions in order to install floor to ceiling bookcases. Bookcases plus extension are 237cm and ceiling height is 240cm, and there is no mention of a minimum ceiling height on the IKEA website or instruction manual. Ikea assembly people are unable to install because it requires an extra 10cm in order to get the extention onto the top of the bookcase and then attach to the wall from the top. Extremely disappointed and frustrated that this was not mentioned anywhere, because I've had the cornices removed from the ceiling in order to install these bookcases flush against the wall and now have a 38cm gap between the bookcases and the ceiling and need to reinstall the cornices.
