Ikea Billy Bookcases Reviews

I love my new bookcases! I can't think of anything more ordinary to review quite frankly. A bookcase from Ikea? But I have so enjoyed the whole Ikea 'thang' that I thought I would let people know why. I needed bookshelves for my spare bedroom badly. As a book addict things were getting out of control. Cue dash to IKEA for ...  Read the complete review

Everybody in our family love a trip to Ikea. I love the layouts of the displays which allows you to picture how the furniture would work in your room and what other items of furniture and accessories work alongside them. Myself and my partner have lived together for 10 years and over that time we have accumulated some 500 DVDs, books ...  Read the complete review

Billy Bookcase celebrates its 30th birthday today (1st October) - no, really! I have to say if you want some cheap storage that looks good then look no further than good old Billy Bookcase from Ikea. Personally I own hundreds upon hundreds of DVDs and it's very difficult to find something that looks half decent that will hold them all. ...  Read the complete review

We've got two of these bookcases that we've had for 4 years now. We bought them when we moved into our first flat and needed to buy some bookcases that were cheap and functional but would fit into our very small studio flat. We found the following things about the bookcases were brilliant: They are plain which means they go ...  Read the complete review

I am pretty sure that Ikea has many detractors, but for me it has been a massive help at furnishing our house, as it is so reasonably priced. Ikea only recently opened a store in Ireland and luckily it was about 5 minutes from my house! As well as not being a complete rip off, I think that the Ikea furniture is of a good standard. And even ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend, son and I live in a small 2 bedroom flat together, and I drive myself crazy constantly moving things around and trying to find storage for all our 'junk'. I longingly gaze at the ikea website, dreaming up efficient and attractive storage solutions and I finally ordered some stuff, despite the hefty £35 delivery ...  Read the complete review

I was reminded about writing a bookshelf review on the awy home last night when I heard the latest MP row was about paying £7,000 for a couple of bookcases - I just said to my husband that he should have gone to IKEA!! We have lots of books in our house, and lots of games, which all need putting somewhere. IKEA seems to be one of the ...  Read the complete review

The second I first set foot in an IKEA store I became, like many others, a huge fan. IKEA have hit the nail right on the head when it comes to providing good quality, modern stylish furniture at affordable prices. I'd say at least half of the furniture in my home is from IKEA and I've been very impressed with all of it, not least their Billy ...  Read the complete review

Ikea's Billy bookcase is fantastic for the price. Its sturdy and stylish and comes in a range of colours - pale wood, dark wood, different colour stains and sizes - full size as in the above picture and 1/2 size. Billy bookcases are a cheap because they are made from wood veneer, but this makes them affordable to most. We have had ours ...  Read the complete review

I have a Billy bookcase, which I bought from Ikea to fill a gap which was pretty narrow and not very high. The billy fitted it perfectly and only cost about £19.50! It seems to be very sturdy and very well built and holds my books without any worries at all! The Billy is pretty much your standard bookcase design, with two sides, a top, ...  Read the complete review

Love books? Then you'll love Ikea's stalwart range of Billy bookcases. I know that I'm not alone, either. I've had the great pleasure of living in the cosy academic city of Cambridge, and have enjoyed meeting a number of academics, librarians and generally well read folk who work in the university or related academic disciplines. And the one thing ...  Read the complete review

I am so in love with my new Billy bookcases that putting it into words is quite difficult! We purchased two Billy book cases 80 x 202cm and two CD units to go with them; they were to fit in the alcoves on either side of our chimney. Since we have a house where the walls are not quite true, building a book case in was not really an ...  Read the complete review

Being short of cash, and anyway more interested in what goes on a bookcase than the actual bookcase, I try to find a bargain buy when it comes to this piece of furniture. Unfortunately in the past this has led to me buying 'too cheap' bookcases from places such as Argos (shudder). On one memorable occasion one fell on me in the middle of the ...  Read the complete review

Though the basic package comes with shelves, you can buy ...  Read the complete review

If there's one item of furniture in our house that's just never large enough it's the bookcase(s). No matter how many are added to our collection the books seem to overflow, filling every available space and crying out for another case to be added. Couple this with the fact that we've been saying for at least the last 6 years that this house, ...  Read the complete review

The best storage system I have come across, used for all sorts of things. I purchased some Billy bookcases four years ago, and they have been one of the best investments I have ever made.
