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.

Excellent value.Anonymous reviewerFor simple shelving in a home you can’t do better.
Great productAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble. Looks great .
Good quality bookcaseAnonymous reviewerIdeal fit for hallway, slim enough to pass with ease, various heights to choose from and easy to put together. Previously bought theses bookcases and they are still going strong after 20 plus years
Delivery damageAnonymous reviewerThe bookcase was what we needed and easy to assemble - but it had damage on the top shelf and the side supports - looking like it had been treated roughly in the warehouse as the box was damaged too - I think some quality processes are needed in the warehouse to stop customers from receiving damaged goods when they have to be delivered - my advice is collect from store and check the packaging
Poor qualoityAnonymous reviewerThis set of bookcases arrived 5 days late despite paying for next day express delivery. The quality is awful and every single one is damaged. We think it was the courier that has damaged them and one arrived completely broken and then had been repacked and taped back up again…i think it was a customer return at Ikea thats been put back on the shelves again to be sold. My hubby is a whizz at fixing things up and we have moved shelves about to hide the damage. Ikea customer service were nice to deal with and rearranged some new bookshelves to be sent.
Damaged & cheapAnonymous reviewerThey come in a set of 3 different boxes. One box has been lost (lots of contacting customer service for help) and they don’t refund on the delivery fee (only a little bit if you pay express). The other two received late and they were both damaged. Now have to wait for another replacement, which will likely be damaged too. Cheap and not worth the money or agg.
Love these! Anonymous reviewerBought as individual bookcases - perfect for my dining room- filled with books now so need another 3 for the other side!
Being able to add extra shelves is brilliant too! They’re excellent quality and are pretty strong- so cheap - absolute bargain buy!
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.
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.
Solid once builtAnonymous reviewerEasy instructions! My 14 year old daughter built it.
Does what it’s supposed toAnonymous reviewerDoes what it’s supposed to
Good value for easy toAnonymous reviewerGood value for easy to assemble unit.
Cut out at back for skirting board will not fit most.
Billy book shelvesAnonymous reviewerBought these for our utility room. Looks so much nicer in there.. was easy to put together
Billy brilliantAnonymous reviewerLooks much better than expected
New book cases.Anonymous reviewerWe have loads of books and desperately needed storage in our new home. I bought six of these smaller Billy book cases and altered them to fit in and look like real fitted furniture. Easy to do and great value.
Anonymous reviewerLovely bookcase-,looks smart with plenty of space
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.
Value for moneyAnonymous reviewerWell made, good price and easy to put together

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.
