Just the right sizeBettyWas looking for additional storage for my closet. The versatile of this storage unit was just the right solution. It fit nicely into the corner of my closet turning dead space into additional storage. I would highly recommend it.
If you change the game, change the name.W ThomasToday's Billy Bookcases are not the same as the ones I bought 15+ years ago. Color, wood pattern, and size have changed. Nothing matches. Why call them by the same name if they have changed? I hope the new ones are as sturdy as the older ones.
So good, I purchased 4SaraI purchased one bookcase and then quickly bought 3 more. The verticality really helps with storage in small spaces and they hold quite a bit. Recommend.
Good Looking BookcaseBobbyAssembly was not difficult. Love the black oak effect.
Operation Billy BookcasePamelaMy husband and I recently moved into a new home and bought 2 Billy Bookcases to augment the closet system in our primary bedroom. We have never had to assemble furniture before and found the bookcases easy to put together, attractive, sturdy and functional! We are now considering the Billy Bookcase cabinet system for our back entry drop zone. Great product, Ikea!
What a versatile shelf!MonicaWe use these everywhere, Large spaces, small spaces, they just work. They look great and I LOVE that you can add a bit of wallpaper or paint to the backing and give it all kinds of character.
Perfect for small spacesDianeI purchased this recently to organize my husband‘s video games. I only had a limited amount of space to put an organizer and this was perfect. My husband also loved it because now all his games were nice, organized and easier to find what he is looking for.
THE BEST COLORSaraPlease restock, I need another! Its so perfect.
No additional shelvingDanielI really like the look of this bookcase, but IKEA offers no way to purchase additional blue shelves for this piece. If you want more blue shelves than what is provided, you will have to buy entire additional bookcase.
Billy BookcaseEduardoEasy to assembly.Perfect fit for my place.
Great small bookcase.RichardGood construction, great price. Instruction pictorial needs some study before diving. Be sure you don't need the larger model.
billy to the rescueJohnI needed storage space in my bathroom and the bookcase fit the spot and now my bathroom is organized and everything is easy to locate. My home has a lot of storage issues and this is one of my solutions.
Billy is the way to go!! MargaritaI got 5 units to build a custom media center for my office/playroom for my son and I to have better organization. Each unit took me less that 15 minutes to build! We added the doors as well for a cleaner look (I get overstimulated easily with messes). I used the Billy tool to help create what I was looking for!
I will say, delivery took forever so in the future I would much rather use the click and collect option and pick it up myself or just go in and shop what I need. Thank you ikea for creating such creative and amazing storage hacks!
Great ShelvesTinaBought the corner hardware separately. They went together easily (make sure you have a ratcheting screwdriver to avoid hand pain and cracking the particleboard veneer).
Perfect for books/media display!DanaI bought 3 with the corner connector kit. Top half is super easy, bottom half not so and once they're in place good luck if you need to shift them BUT! I adore the bookcases. Perfect depth for little book display setups, fits quite a lot if you're just shelving books. Addons are good too, I plan to build a whole library wall with these complete with ladder rail eventually.
Love this BookcaseJenniferAffordable, easy assembly, and the height extensions are amazing!!!
Small bookcaseWilliamGreat with the larger billy bookcase and perfect for smaller areas
Quality has gone downhillAnonymous reviewerLooks okay from a distance when it is finally put together but I question the longevity of these new pieces. I doubt it going to last more than a year with kids. It is contact paper. There were multiple areas where it was already pulling up prior to assembly that I had to reglue down. And even though I put it together on a soft service damage occurred with a tear in the finish on the front of the shelf. The contact paper they used has to be very thin. For the price increases this bookcase has had it is sad to see how far the quality has fell. These used to be an easy buy for us for storage but spending $1000+ for a bank of bookcases of this quality doesn’t make sense.
Just what I needed for my video games.KittyI bought this William bookcase in brown walnut color to have in my living room to hold all of my video games, and blu-ray videos. It works great, but you need to buy 2 extra shelves, to have the most efficient use of space. Otherwise, it's pretty dang good.
Easy Pick-UpAnonymous reviewerI had such a good experience! Being able to pick up my order here was so much easier than going all the way to I4.
