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 downhillJessicaLooks 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-UpTrudyI had such a good experience! Being able to pick up my order here was so much easier than going all the way to I4.
ReliableMichelleBilly is reliable and versatile
Love My BillyNiaExcellent choice. Easy to put together!
Unhappy with QualityTerriI bought 3 bookcases and everyone had the exact same damage on the back board. Very visible.
Versatile Bookcase!!!GilbertMy daughter loves the Billy bookcase, she uses these in her room to organize everything.

Billy bookcaseDeborahPerfect for all my husbands computer books ... nice and sturdy !
Perfect size!KymI've always like IKEA and bought skinny shelf for my daughter's room. Set up easy and secured to the wall between two windows. Looks good!
Closet greatLynnGreat size, price & easy to put together. I bought 2. One using one in my closet on top of wire racks for storage. The other is used to store old vcr tapes.
BookcaseLilluanI gave it 3 only because the VOCs are so bad that I have not used the room to wait it out- placing a heater , filter and opened up skylight to remove vocs. If not for the smell, love the shelves!
Great for the long haulJohnThis shelf is great for a multitude of media. The new pre drilled holes for the back panel is great so no longer guessing where the shelf is and needed a hammer for nails.
Love BillyChristineI've bought Billy bookcases for years. I love these. They are perfect for displaying statues, in the closet for clothes/shoes, for bookshelves, etc.
Billy with glass doorsJudyLove this. Lots of storage space. It is a little narrow but that is actually one of the things I like about it as my space is small. The glass doors are very nice but I do find they do not fan out as far as I would like when opened. Still love it!
