Instead of a thin layer of wood veneer, BILLY now has a hard surface of durable paper foil. ”The foil has different printed patterns that look like natural wood and means that less wood is needed to make each BILLY,” says Umut. Using materials only where they are needed is resource-efficient. “And it has meant another positive thing – an even more affordable BILLY.”

Dark blue Billy bookcase rated excellent!LorettaI love these Billy dark blue bookcases but NEED the extensions in this color. So many people are asking for them, why not sell them!!!
Extensions please! TracyI love these but just wish IKEA would make extensions for this color. I have really tall ceilings and need more!
Great !ElzbietaBeautiful color, good quality. I was able to put them together alone, only my husband helped with the door installation Would be hard to do it alone. Wish the back was made of better material, not this thin, wobbly piece of cardboard. You can actually see the seam in the middle . Besides that, I'm happy with the purchase. Needed it to display my porcelain. The shelves are quite narrow, but it can be also a plus, the bookcase doesn't take too much space in the room.
Navy blue BillyKatherineI absolutely love these bookcases! The color is amazing and they look fabulous in my husbands office.
Gorgeous colorJillI bought 3 doubles which is really just 6 single bookshelves. They are gorgeous and I am using them for Disney collectibles. I absolutely love the color but I wish the extra shelves came in blue. I would like to buy two more shelves per unit,
Very happyJoelThese Billy bookshelves with the doors are very sharp looking. They have the regular Billy quality and spaciousness, with a touch of class.
Great colorSandraLove the bookcases. There are a few issues. First, the diagram was not correct, which made us construct one of the bookcases wrong, with the bottom shelve on the top. We followed the diagram carefully. The diagram for the next bookcase was correct. Second. The knobs are not drilled level, so one knob is higher than the other. This was true for the other bookcases. The doors cannot be adjusted. We will have to fill the existing holes and re-drill to make the knobs symmetrical.
I have purchased several billySeandraI have purchased several billy bookcases over the years and they are just great. This time I purchased the ones with glass doors and the look really nice. The only thing that I wish was that they were a little deeper because my family photo albums won’t fit.
Not badDenisceoPurchased 4. Didn’t have any issues putting the Billy together. Looks nice in are living. Still believe a built in version would look better, but $750.00 is more economically satisfying to my wallet than just over $3000.00. Plus if I sale this house I can take it with me.
BeautifulMelissaI can't even begin to describe how much I love these cabinets. My only complaint is that the size description needs clarification for the inside shelf
Billy bookcaseDawnLove these bookcases. Easy to put together and beautiful.
The website needs some work so I end up calling and everything is taken care of.
I needed to add colorBonniI needed to add color to my all white office. I chose the dark blue Billy tall cabinets to fill one wall. They look fantastic and I’ve had so many compliments on the look. Love shopping IKEA!
Love this BillyRebeccaWe love our blue double Billy Bookcase with glass door. It looks amazing in our new reading room.
BeautifulLindaPerfect for a library
Billy CabinetDeniseI bought the blue. Absolutely gorgeous. Using to store my handbags. Wonderful stylish display. Love them. Bought two. Want another.
Very AccommodatingAnonymousI needed a bookcase to fit in a small area, It did and we're very pleased with the appearance & use.
Great shelf!AnonymousI absolutely love this shelf! Fairly easy to assemble and looks great!
Beautiful Rich ColorJudyHave had many Billy bookcases over the years—delighted by the ease of assembly and slim profile of these beautiful deep navy beauties! Really jazzed up an extra wide hallway to display family photos, travel prints and made my mass market paperbacks look like a million bucks!
Modern and classyAnonymousWe bought two of these and placed them side by side. It looks amazing in our dining room. These are exactly what we needed to display our collectibles and extra dishes. They were easy to assemble and it was a fast procedure to get it done. I would rate these more stars if I could.
Love this bookcase!LynneWe used twin billy bookcases for the past decade and lost them in a home flood. No question, we were replacing them! Tons of storage and always receive Compliments from guests!

Story
An updated storage hero
BILLY bookcase has been a steady customer favorite for more than 40 years – but old faithful favorites also need to be updated to keep up with the times. We took a closer look at BILLY and came up with some ideas. One of them means more efficient use of materials, and another makes the bookcase easier to assemble and take apart.
“BILLY was introduced in 1979 and has helped millions of people to organize books and other things in the home. But the world has changed a lot since then, and even popular big-sellers need to adapt to new demands and ways of living,” says Umut Ates, one of our co-workers.
Paper means smarter use of raw materials
Easier to assemble and take apart
BILLY fits just as well in the living room as in other areas of the home – the office, dining room or library. It’s easy to expand and combine with other furniture. But one thing that has had potential for improvement is how the bookcase is assembled and taken apart. “Previously, you had to use about 50 small nails to get the back panel in place, but that’s history now. Instead, you snap on the back panel without any tools,” explains Umut. It also makes it easier to disassemble BILLY without damaging it if you move or want to resell your bookcase. “The improvements have made BILLY more adaptable – it can keep up changing life situations – and it wouldn’t surprise me if this storage hero is as popular in 40 years as it is today.”

BILLY bookcase has been a customer favorite for over 40 years – but even old faithful servants need to be updated to keep up with the times. We took a closer look at this storage hero and came up with some ideas. One means more efficient use of materials and another makes the bookcase easier to assemble and take apart. The improvements can be hard to see – except on the price tag – which has become even more pleasant to see.
