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.”

Reviews
Nice but a bit top heavyBobAnother nice buy from Ikea and I'm pretty happy with it for a bit of bedroom storage. Here's a warning though if you buy one of these...
The half glass door makes this unit top heavy when it's empty. It's balanced pretty well but if the unit is empty and you open the door it can (and probably will) easily topple over so make sure you are paying attention. Either put some weight in the bottom or have someone hold it especially when you're putting the door on.
Also, a pro tip! Wait to put the last 4 shelves in and use them to prop up the door at the bottom when you're putting the door on because they're exactly the right height when stacked together which is pretty handy. Just stack them right in front of the unit when you're putting the door on.
Great ValueDavidVery pleased with purchase.
So good I bought two!KeishaI get so many compliments on this bookshelf. I bought the first one as a test to see if it would fit in my space and to ensure i would like it. As soon as it arrived I regretted that I didn’t buy two! So I hurried up and ordered the next one, but it was already sold out. I had to wait 4 months until it was back in stock. I worried that the second wouldn’t look as good as the first, but it did! This bookshelf is the right height, color and size for extra storage in my kitchen. I use them to ancore a wall in my dining area. The delivery was fast and assembly was easy. I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend this bookshelf.

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.”

The improvements can be hard to see – except on the price tag – which has become even more pleasant to see.
