building an ikea BILLY BOOKCASE with OXBERG GLASS DOOR (IKEA FURNITURE ASSEMBLY)

We're starting school in a few days, and I didn't have a place to put all the kids' school books! I tried different approaches at first, but decided on the billy bookcase with oxberg glass doors for a more finished look. I love how it turned out!!! and all their books fit! Stay tuned for a home school tour coming soon!!

thank you :)

Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves kzbin.infoUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

Maaaan I've had this Billy bookcase under my bed 3 months, dreading putting it together, thanks for making it look easy!

[@Aksanazen]

you got it! :)

[@mannyrouxx]

Bro I was excited when my billy book case was delivered but then I carried it inside my living room and damn I was out of breath😮‍💨 that was about 1 month ago so I feel you 🤣✌🏽

Nice video ... my lady got me installing this 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣🤣👍🏽💯

[@NotATechShow]

Thank you for the video. I actually have white shelves already but bought bare wood colored Oxford doors that I saw for $10 as an ikea returrn.

[@Woodworkjunkie]

Thank you for sharing your build. I bought this yesterday and I am putting it together today Awesome video~

[@kwilson4125]

I like how you have a “friend” helping you while she’s wearing a Friends tee shirt.

[@Lena3kis]

You are quite an amazing builder. Me? I can't put anything together.😊👍👍👍 good job👍👍

[@Aksanazen]

😊 thank you

[@dsjohnson9537]

I am having the hardest time attaching the door. The hinges keep slipping off before I can attach. Any suggestions?

[@mymalayaper3766]

I want to add doors to mine but I'm doing it bookcase white and birch doors. the doors are more expensive that the bookcase itself. 😅

[@alef_19]

How much weight can it hold? I wanna put my books, but I have some heavy ones and Im afraid of the bending

[@iamyayen]

Same question. I was going to ask how is it now aftet 3 years? Been seeing reviews of it sagging in the middle and cant afford that to happen. 😢

[@alef_19]

@@iamyayen I actually bought it. Like just 1 year ago and Im afraid to say it bends, right in the middle😭 A better option is the ikea one that is not so wide, because all the bending is related to a lot of books and no central atachment/strong? point in such a wide shelf

[@iamyayen]

@@alef_19 aww sorry that has happened to you. Good thing I didn't get one yet. Will definitely look for other options.

[@jasopyuh]

Just bought one. Wondering if I should add the glass door

[@frickxnas]

Is it possible to fit two 97cm oxberg doors instead of this big one that half of it is glass? I want two simple wooden oxberg doors

[@deshaythomas2111]

did yours come with the long nail to mount it to the wall? I bought 4 and none of them came with it smh.

[@71906107049]

Is the base enough to stay put without being mounted to the wall ?

[@indiastormborn360]

Question, do the hooks to fix it to the wall come in the box??

[@Aksanazen]

everything but the actual screws that go into the wall itself, I believe

[@Hassein55]

@@Aksanazen where did you get the screws from?

[@LisaMunoz]

Question: Does the door close pretty tightly against the shelf? I’m in the process of building mine and some of my shoes (Bc I’m Making it a shoe shelf with the doors) are touching the edge of the shelf, and I’m wondering if that will cause the door to not close. Thanks in advance for your response! Great video!

[@Aksanazen]

I'd say it closes pretty good with no gaping. You can also add stick on magnetic strip to both sides to make it even tighter :)

[@LisaMunoz]

The Yas Fam thank you!

[@cobaltpica]

the door hinges are fully adjustable. I have assembled mine which consists of 3 bookshelves with optional glass shelves in under 2 hours. A battery drill with screwdriver tip speed things up a lot.

[@s.rudraprakash]

Hi mam, post a review of your book shelves please. How durable it is? Does IKEA products starts to sag after a month of usage ? Which bookcase you feel is durable and which one will you suggest like that...

[@Aksanazen]

will do! thank you for the suggestion :)

Hey awesome video! I was just about to buy this bookcase, but just wanted to see how you’ve liked it thus far? Any complaints?

[@Aksanazen]

I love it! Its exactly what I needed.

[@Tropicaltrev24]

@@Aksanazen thank you so much! Buying one now!

[@daanishchamankar385]

Thank you for putting this or else my eyes would have gone blind reading instructions 😅👍👍💕

[@Aksanazen]

You’re welcome 😊

[@theweekend4779]

Hi there! First of all, AWESOME video! Wish to check whether the accessories that you use to secure the bookcase to the wall, comes with the bookcase? or we need to purchase it separately?

[@Aksanazen]

Last time I bought this, it did come with the accessories. Except a few screws that you need for the wall, everything else was included.

Hello 😊

[@ShopaholicSeries]

Hi..great video! Can you please tell how high is the cutout at the bottom at the back? We have tall baseboards :( Please let me know at your earliest! Thanks!

[@Aksanazen]

about 3.5 inches

[@SydTheShortOne]

Question! I need a tall slider book shelf like this one cause the space I am in is small but, I have some really tall books that currently won’t fit in my current book shelf because it’s just like an inch too short. Would these be good for taller books?

[@Aksanazen]

The shelves are adjustable. :)

[@robertotedd]

Sois macklister?

[@kyjo72682]

Hi! What color version is this? Is it the light oak veneer, or birch veneer? Thanks.

[@Aksanazen]

Its the birch veneer :)

[@anutaNYC]

I don't have a drill so how did you do those handles? They killed me!!

[@Aksanazen]

it makes it easier with a drill

[@Mz.M.2757]

Thank you for sharing. May I ask did you secure to the wall?

[@Aksanazen]

Yes, I always secure to the wall! I have little kids and wont ever take the risk of it falling on them.

[@inessa255]

@@Aksanazen how do you secure it to the wall

[@chriserony]

Are the shelves particle board or real wood?
