Review: I have five units. Easy assembly, about 30 minutes each. When assembling, don’t rush your work: follow the instructions. I arranged them in an ‘L’ using the IKEA brackets. Very good value for the money, and we are very pleased with the results.

Review title: Great Product but....
Customer: Diane C.
Review: I love Billy bookcases and have had several over the years. Unfortunately, IKEA has replaced the metal cam locks with plastic ones, which break with even the slightest pressure. We had to order metal ones from Amazon to complete the assembly of the bookshelves.

Review title: Very cheap looking and missing parts

Review: The extra piece to make it longer makes it look incredibly cheap and ugly. Plus it definitely didn't help that every unit was missing hardware!

Review title: A classic
Customer: Judy
Review: This is the 3rd Billy bookcase we have purchased. It's a classic that fits into just about any design style. Wasn't too difficult to put together, but I do recommend that it be a two-person task. I knocked off one star on the rating here, as one of the panels on the side of the bookcase was scratched, and one of the shelves does not sit level.
