A Great BookshelfMatthewOrdered this bookshelf online after seeing it in store. Got it delivered without issue. Pretty easy to put together and feels sturdy. Really appreciate the baseboard cutouts that keep the bookshelf flush against the wall. Holds all of my books and collectibles and looks very good. I would definitely buy another one to hold more items. Overall, quality and value are high.
Bigger in PersonLisaThese are much bigger and taller in person. I love it! Fits many books, figurines, and decor. Highly recommend
The new foil overlay will not holdNicoleI am so disappointed in these bookshelves. We just moved homes and we had Billy's that were almost 20 years old in our old house that we didn't want to move so we bought new ones. They're using a new technique to cover it and this is not going to hold. If you have children in your house, do not buy them. My partner and I use the utmost care to putting these together including blankets all over the floor and there are already scratches and dents all over the bookcases not to mention the defects they came with from the factory that we didn't catch before. I'm going to have to go to the hardware store to see if I can get matching paint to touch it up, but these are not going to last more than a few years if that.

Perfect size and style and colorJohnFit well with other bedrooms furniture. Functional for books in bedroom.
Different shadeMarisaDark brown oak effect: After a yr and a half we realized we needed one more bookcase...well, now I'm sitting here with a bookcase that is a few shades lighter then the older bookcases. The finish is different, as well, which is fine, but it seems they didn't even try to get to the same shade they had before. Extremely disappointed.
Lasted < 1 year Anonymous reviewerAfter less than a year, the shelves do not fit. It’s as though the actual shelf isn’t long enough, but I bought a replacement and it still won’t reach from one side of the bookshelf to the other. How does that happen??
Love this bookcaseNicholetteThis is an amazing bookcase and I love this color. Perfect for my library
Light weightBriaVery light weight and easy to assemble. Any skinny kids books you want to lay towards the back for display, could slip through the background and down some shelves if the back panel is not nailed down tightly.
PerfectMissyLove the ability to add on if needed,
Perfect size for any room Even closet
Billy bookcaseAndrewIt's great
So easy to put togetherDebbieThis was so easy to put together. The shelves have many positions to choose from. I was able to make narrow spaces for music CDs and taller spaces for DVDs. I also had books and pictures to store. This bookcase provided me with the ability to create whatever space I needed. I bought 5 of them due to the first one working so well. Great price as well!!
Great space saver!CarolynTall and slender but plenty of shelves. I started with 3 and purchased 2 more. Moves storage upwards and fits nicely across a narrow corner wall and added more to wrap around the corner. Easy to put together and finished it looks nice, clean, very organized.
Classic bookshelfSarahInexpensive but solid construction. I have a BILLY bookshelf that I bought years ago that has never sagged and it matches the new one I got almost exactly! The only difference is the updated brackets that support the shelves, but the new ones are nearly invisible!
Good productAfsanehGood product and right price i am happy with that
Should have bought more of the older Billy’s before discontinuation!GarrettAgree with other reviewers. A lot of quality issues and the edges as well as the sides of the bookshelf is very bumpy and not well finished. The faux wood of all the pieces feel more hallow as well. Just got these delivered yesterday and unloaded all the pieces up 3 flight of stairs before noticing. Honestly very disappointed and I hope they bring back the old Billy bookshelves
As mentioned by other piece the backpiece comes with predrilled holes now - some of my wooden pieces came with not fully drilled holes and a lot of misaligned too. They dropped the ball on this one and it sucks. I really hope they bring back the old one. Also there is a lot of blotchy spotting on a lot of the wooden pieces. Just overall terrible quality and can be seen close and far away. I will now have to waste my day and return these pieces on my own accord.
DealPamelaGreat price for a little bookcase that can be upgraded with doors and glass shelves. Have purchased for each of my children’s first apartments. Used in our second home for temporary storage, but think will keep.
Lots of quality for the priceKellyI like the sturdiness of the Billy bookcase. I first started out by finding a small version of a bookcase in a thrift store. It wasn’t until I removed the shelves that I saw ikea stamped on the wood. It was the quality of the bookcase that caught my eye in the thrift store. After doing some research I learned that it was called the Billy bookcase. It is one if not THE sturdiest bookcase I’ve built in a long time. If I needed another bookcase, it would definitely be another Billy purchased.
Billy is a slouchJeffreyThis book case can barely support its own weight let alone one’s possessions anyone would expect from such a large product. The pewter anchor brackets bend under reasonable loading of knock knacks and other document’s. It’s flat out dangerous to load anything on this shelving systems. Save your valuables and sanity, we miss the Billie shelving System recently discontinued.
HmmmHansSomehow one of my favorite things I own.
