Fantastic Product - Easy to Build, Looks greatAnonymous reviewerThis took 58 minutes to build from opening the box to getting it into place. Everything fitted perfect on assembly. The product is sturdy and stable and now has a full library of books on it. I'm going to get another one.5

Just the right size andMaryJust the right size and height.3
Useful bookcase, reasonable qualityBernieI have a wall of these and find them really good for storage. Assembly was ok, some parts a bit fiddly (positioning and nailing in the back of the bookcase) and the bottom kickboard is quite flimsy (broke one of the four I assembled, but it doesn't impact structural integrity and the crack is barely noticeable so I didn't mind that much for the price.) All in all would get them again.4

Design your own BILLY bookcase

Want to customise the look and functionality for BILLY that suits your space, needs and taste?

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.

Designer thoughts

Designer thoughts

"When I got the assignment to design a simple, functional and smart storage for books, I couldn’t have imagined that BILLY bookcase would wind up in so many homes across the world. I remember being especially pleased with the adjustable shelves and the depth of the bookcase – perfect for books. We were also able to transport it in a flat pack - an idea I was actually first to develop. The bookcase is one of my favourites and I hope it will be around for many more years."
