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.

Looks good Anonymous reviewerLooks good and was easy to assemble
Fantastic Anonymous reviewerThe glass doors make the book cases special
Used this to create a large feature bookcaseAnonymous reviewerLots of ideas around on how to make these bookcases special. Very happy with the finished product which we encased in pine
We have loads of Billy bookcasesAnonymous reviewerThis product is easy to put together. I can put them together on my own but it recommends that two people are needed and to be honest that does make it a bit easier.
The quality is good and I know from experience that they last.
We use our Billy bookcases not only for books, but for displaying ceramics and other objects. We also use Billy bookcases for storage for fabric, sewing machines and sewing equipment.
Billy Bookcase x 3Anonymous reviewerThese are in my craft/sewing room and are absolutely perfect for my fabric stash as I can see at a glance what I have. With the glass doors added to them it keeps everything clean and dust free. They are just perfect:)

BillyAnonymous reviewerWe purchased 2 billy bookcases to use in our new pantry, we were so pleased with the quality, sturdiness that we purchased 2 more to re purpose as shelving in our kitchen.
GREAT bookcasesAnonymous reviewerLove these Billy bookcases. I have bought lots of sets plus doors over the years. They have moved house with us three times and still work perfectly. Lots of people comment on them with the doors and really like them and they are very good value compared to the real wood alternative. Would highly recommend!!

billy bookcaseAnonymous reviewervery good thankyou
Billy bookcaseAnonymous reviewerAnother well made reasonably priced product from ikea
Nice product Anonymous reviewerWe purchased these as replacements to the ones we had damaged through burst water pipes and very happy with the items.
160cm Wide Bookcase it not 160cm!!Anonymous reviewerI ordered a 160cm wide bookshelf and I was sent 2 x 80 cm wide bookshelf's with no fasting screws to bolt them together! Ikea have fastening bolts which allow two units to be added together in their PAX range so why can they not do the same with the Billy Bookshelf range? This is slightly deceiving in the advertised product when ordering as I was led to believe that I was ordering a 160 wide unit and I never got what I actually ordered.
Really sturdy bookcaseAnonymous reviewerI bought 2 of these and they are fab, really sturdy.
Great, double bookcaseAnonymous reviewerDelighted with this, fits all my crafty things beautifully.
Excellent very good qualityAnonymous reviewerPerfect, wonderful display/storage space

Material
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.
