Must depend on luck then, as I bought a billy last year for DVD storage, and it's the most solid cheap-build-it-yourself bookcase I've ever had. This navy blue Billy makeover is a stunner and proves that there's something to be said for going bold.

Instead, aiming for a built-in bookcase look on a budget, she used these Billys with melamine caps in between and molding on top to give the IKEA favorite a custom look. Once that was done, we just squeezed between each shelf and anchored them to the wall, making sure we kept the required spacing between them. This is one of the larger walls of Billy bookcase built-ins that we've seen, and it looks beautiful.with countless design-minded folks turning their blank slate of a bookcase into a genius Billy Bookcase hack.

I have had three of the Billy series bookshelves for 3+ years, and each of them is as good as the day I've bought them. Because rather than being able to press it right up against the wall and anchor it, it had to come forward to line up with the other shelves and didn’t reach the wall at all.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to remove the baseboards (unless your shelves will cover them) and anything on the wall that will prevent you from anchoring the shelves flush. We’re planning a similar use of these shelves to turn our formal living room into a library/school room since we homeschool. While many built-in Billy bookcase hacks make use of trim to create a cohesive look with the rest of the space, paint is also a great option.
