Beautiful!KarlaThis was easy to assemble i love the quality and adjustability of the shelves, i certainly think you need to secure to the wall though! Love love love!
Solid Bookshelf. Excellent Value.JonathanThis is a solidly constructed bookshelf and is easy to recommend. Assembly is straightforward and quick if you have two people. Keep in mind that the package does not include the screws or drywall anchors needed to secure the shelf to a wall. The bottom of the shelf doesn’t have pads or adjustable feet, so it might rock a little bit if the floor is not perfectly flat.
Perfect!NinaLove it! The color is beautiful and is exactly what I was looking for
Exactly As Expected!SarahSturdy, solid, and the faux wood looks surprisingly better than I expected. We purchased some of these to go in tandem with some PAX wardrobes as a build in storage unit (don't do that, new PAX are garbage) and these BILLY bookcases are the best part of the whole thing. I would absolutely consider buying these again in the future.
It's just what I was looking for!AnonymousEasy to install, good finish, and a great price.
Good valueJamesGood quality at a fair price
Love love love it!! ❤️❤️❤️ShayI was searching for a new bookcase and found that other companies had some nice options, but they were far too expensive. I had completely forgotten I had an IKEA account, and during my research their bookcases stood out as the best value by far.
After browsing the IKEA website, I chose the Billy bookcase, and I couldn’t be happier. The delivery arrived right on time, and everything was in perfect condition. My daughter and I put it together easily, and it looks absolutely beautiful in my home. I love it! It’s sturdy, versatile, and very easy to assemble. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a bookcase or shelving. I am extremely happy with the delivery, the product, and the price!
I bought 3 moreMichelleI now have 4 of these. The first was great, but in putting together the 3 additional ones to make a corner unit, there were several hollow spots in the wood(MDF). Slightly disappointed.
Great bookcase for small spaceRachellePurchased this bookcase for a small bedroom remodel. Looks great and the delivery experience was excellent.

Best bookcaseDebbieThe price is very very reasonable. Assembly was easy. This bookcase is sturdy enough for some of my heaviest items to not warp the shelves!! Love it!
Great ValueLaurieEasy to assemble, sturdy, looks great.
Amazing KimberlySo easy to assemble and great quality. I’m ABSOLUTELY in love. I was indecisive about the color but I’m glad I went with the brown walnut. Such a beautiful color

Poor product materialsDanThe materials now being used are pressed wood and vermeer.
Previously purchased a number of years ago, the material was solid wood. Very disappointed.
Half billyTinaPerfect bookshelf for a narrow area
billy bookcaseSamanthaease to put together…holds many items… looks great!
DisappointedKimI’ve really liked most of the things that I’ve bought from IKEA, but these shelves are a miss. I ordered two of these for delivery and unfortunately, I’m going to have to lug them back. The color is much darker and drabber than photographed, and they look a little cheap. I thought about sucking it up and using them, but I put one together and one part has a huge scratch across the wood, and the back piece is actually cracked. Not a fan.
