The gaps are unsolvable...AshleyGood for practicality and for the money but as far as aesthetic, the gap between the cabinets is impossible to rectify. It would be wonderful if there was some kind of piece to insert with tabs or brackets on that don't show on the face, but could fit in gaps or even on the corners of shelves next to each other to cover and connect the corners that have the gaps. If my kids ever shove a puzzle piece, lego, piece of food they snuck away with, etc. In those gaps, I will never get it back considering how it's anchored to each other and the wall. Just wish there was a solution for the gap problem.
Good but don’t get 3 doorsWendyIt does work as a corner unit but I had to place a delivery/shipped order as my closest IKEA is three hours away. I ordered this and 3 Oxberg doors ~ this combo won’t work. Because of the angle, the most you can do is two doors on the outer cabinets - it’s too tight to add the center door. Would have been nice if IKEA had flagged the order and warned me. Not sure what I’ll do with the extra door ~\o/~. Agree with other comments, without any doors on there is a noticeable gap, the two outer doors does solve that issue though.
This isn’t a corner shelf DraganaThis is a regular shelf that you can put to look like corner. There is a lot of gap between them. A lot of unused space.
No color optionsNicoleReally upsetting that this size corner unit doesn’t come in the black color that all the other Billy shelves come in.
Included Parts Not IncludedDavidLove the shelves but, the stated Included Parts "Corner brackets" aka V-Plates, very much not included. Bummer.
Good bookcases, fiddly corner bracket.GraceI read some reviews before purchasing this, so I knew it wasn't a "true" corner unit, but rather three regular units bundled together. It works fine in that regard, but you might get a bit frustrated if you're a perfectionist because it's difficult to get all three units to align perfectly even with the brackets. I ended up accepting a bit of wall gap towards the top since every time I moved one of the units it would shift one of the others out of place. Having three individual units is nice for flexibility if I ever decide to rearrange things. Still, I did find myself wishing the center of the three units was a "true" corner to more firmly occupy the space. Worth the purchase if you don't mind the braces being a bit loose.
Nice corner unitAnonymous reviewerOverall, I love the look of this in the corner of my office. I just wish it were possible to add doors to the center bookcase. I ended up putting stuff in the middle that would be easy to dust. The corner brackets are easy enough to use, BUT I wasn't able to screw in the top pieces with the extensions in place. I ended up screwing in the corner brackets first and then adding the extensions, which doesn't follow the instructions 100%, but I didn't have enough clearance between the top of the bookcases and the ceiling to do it any other way. It is 100% necessary to anchor the two side bookcases to the wall (which I did before adding the extensions) for this setup to work, but once they're anchored and the corner brackets are in place, this isn't going anywhere. Looks really nice and holds a lot of stuff!
Cannot fix the gigantic gap.IanI bought the bookcase as a way of having storage and shelf space in a small office. Easy enough to assemble except when we got to the floor brackets. No matter how much we tried the gap kept tappering wider and wider the farther up you looked. And then the top connecting brackets aid in keeping that gap because of how wide they are. We are going to have to find other brackets or make our own and then shim the bottom of one of the bookcases. In all this is a terrible bookcase and it took longer to get them to sit together than it did to put them together. We ended up not even using the bottom bracers because they did nothing.
Not a corner shelfRodneyThey are 3 regular billy bookshelves. Ikea charge an extra $10 for this combo. It is not an actual corner shelf.
missing holes, defectiveQuinnwhen trying to assemble i realized that all the holes on the shelves were missing leaving it impossible to assemble on all 3 bookcases, now i have to drag them back to the store, disapointing and a waste of time
Great design except for the empty space behind the cornerJustinShelf is easily customizable and a modern, minimalist, and sleek white. Unfortunately the area behind the corner allows for a cat to fall and get stuck, which is an issue particularly if the bookshelf is anchored to the wall (like it should be according to the instructions) and if it is in use. Having at least a platform to bridge the gap at the top would be a nice safety mechanism for those with adventurous pets, to prevent them from having empty the shelf and detach it from the wall and itself.
Excellent for corner shelf anchor to my updated closetErinLove this shelf as the corner for updates to my closet. Perfect height and shelving shouted make it work perfectly in my master.
Great corner unit!CarlaSo happy you have this option! It looks great in my small room! Easy to assemble!
Bugs 🐜 🐛 🐞 in boxesVietI bout 4 wall units & it cost me $300 for handyman $300 to install. it was complicated and he needed another person to hold as he installed. The biggest disappointment was there where bugs in the boxes, huge bugs like water bugs, wood bugs & carpenter ants. I guess the shelves being stored in the warehouse. Full of bugs while opening box the bugs scattered all over my house! I was spaying & stomping as he was opening boxes! Once he got them all installed I examined the quality & they’re not made very well, not very sturdy and if they had to hold a lot of books there’s no way those shelves with hold up!
Good buyAidaGood product for the price
Great product for the priceJorgeReally nice product. Displays really nice in any room
Purchased Billy corner unitCathyI wanted something for a corner of my craft room. I saw the Billy corner unit and thought that would be great. It was out of stock at my local store but they said they would text me when it arrived. It arrived sooner than expected. I received both a text and an email. I didn't measure correctly so was not able to use all three pieces in my corner like I had intended. i was able to use two of the pieces there and the third piece in another location. I was so happy to have that flexibility. They were very sturdy and also easy to put together. I am loving them!
Weird GapsVictoriaEasy enough to put together but even with the corner hardware there is a larger gap visible at the top vs at the bottom. I can't get this to look straight with any of my adjutments.
