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.2

billy bookcaseSamanthaease to put together…holds many items… looks great!5
BookshelvesRonExcellent quality, easy to assemble, and stylish.5
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.2
Not a fan of Billy anymoreCynthiaYou changed the paint or something,it scuffs off very easily, not the same type of costing as the previous Billy's I've bought a year ago. Very very disappointed in the product. Will not buy anymore.1

Love these shelvesPatriciaWe had recently moved into a new house and needed some shelving for displaying sentimental items. We ordered a mixture of 5 Billy shelves (in 2 sizes) and put them on a large wall in our family room and they are great! Easy to put together and love that we could individualize the shelving height. Perfect!5
