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.

Arrived with a cracked cornerCarlI wish there were corner guards provided in the packaging because my order has a cracked corner when it arrived. Having just the cardboard box to ship it is not enough to ensure the safety and quality of the product
Nice customizable shelvingKelseyAssembly was incredibly easy and the unit seems solid. The walnut colour is very nice, but some parts arrived with scratches in the “wood grain” (seems to be from a packing issue). Luckily, they were on surfaces I can hide along a wall or with books.
Billy BookcaseTeresaInstructions were easy to follow and when it was completely assembled, a very practical unit. Fits nicely with furniture in room and practical both from a price standpoint and use.
Damaged partsMichaelSimilar to another review posted, the two units I bought from Coquitlam location also had damage on mutiple parts. Now I have to go back to store and return them which isn't easy if you live far away and have a small vehicle.
Good looking bookcase but tiring process KariseI ordered this bookcase for my room it looked good and easy to assemble. But what’s frustrating was it did not come with the hardware required to build when it arrived. I had to contact customer support to order the parts for me because there was a limit to how much I could order of each piece. The pieces took nearly the last estimated day so I was stuck with a unbuilt case in my room. Many of the edges and sides had dents and or chipped but thankfully not all of it was that visible. Overall, decent bookcase, it serves its purpose but the entire process was just frustrating.
Nice!AurélieLooks nice and sturdy and was easy to assemble.
Qualité à bon prixMarcSolides, les étagères supportent bien mes gros livres de collection.
Multiple broken parts and hardwareAudrey-AnneI waited a long time for this to come back in stock, paid for shipping since it wasn't available online and received multiple damaged parts and even completely broken hardware... making it impossible to build it even if I was willing to accept all the damaged shelves. And I can't even order the hardware because the website says it's out of stock! If you pay for shipping and they make you bring back the heavy box to the store they should refund the shipping. Ridiculous.
New and improved…mostlyAshleeI have been a long time fan of the Billy Bookcase. Price point is perfect and so is the quality. I was always frustrated by securing the backing rather than panel with the tiny nails. No matter how precise I tried to be one always managed to miss and go through the shelf. They have illuminated this frustrating task and changed it to pre-drilled holes where you instal a plastic plug and then a securing plastic nail. This is so much more efficient and less frustrating!
This particular one however had an issue where the strapping sealing the edges has delaminated. I’m not sure how to fix it and it’s actually just going to peal off when snagged.
Good productTuyIt is a good product.

Title fineHeatherDoes what I need. To hold books. Good amount of room
On going quality Anonymous reviewerI have purchased 6 billy bookcases over th last 20ish years and they are still in use. My latest purchase had plugs ti hold the backing board in place, instead of nails. I liked this because have chipped the laminate with nails in the past.
Love this bookcase!KellyI love this bookcase. I am just disappointed that they discontinued the birch colour.
Sad but hopefulDonnaSad to see the birch bookcases discontinued. Pretty sure the quality will be the same with the new finishes though. The bookworm always seems to run out of shelf space for new books.
It was easy to assemble with the step by step directions.BeverlyI can’t think of anything
TerribleTanyaShelves tumbled mulitple times! Books everywhere , if I had packaging I’d return
