How to Assemble - IKEA BILLY / OXBERG Bookcase, white, glass

[@JK-nr3cx]

Thanks for video! Is it fine not to fix billy to the back wall?

[@laurenclarkson7621]

Do you have to fix this to your walls as I want it but can't get it if that is required due to asbestos

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Learn more. There may be parts that can be fixed depending on the material of the wall.

[@qili973]

Hi, thank you for your video! But may l ask did you put on the screws on the wall to connect the bookshelf, please? My bookshelf is always falling forward, to dangerous! How did yohu make it so stable?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

There is a plastic pedestal underneath, but it is not installed in the back. This will tilt back a little and give you a sense of stability.

[@qili973]

@@hejsseopikeaassembly4531 I will try, thank you :-D

@@hejsseopikeaassembly4531 Can you send me the reference of the plastic pedestal please ? Thank you !

[@jtslife5599]

Does this have to be mounted on wall or can I just have it sit upright?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Here is Korea. Most of them are not fixed to the wall here. However, Ikea recommends that it be fixed to the wall.

[@janehidalgo7310]

Hi is it true it topples over when both doors are open and you have to latch it to your wall?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

When the first bookcase is empty, you may fall over. But once the shelves are stuffed, they won't fall over. If you fill the heavy ones from below, you don't have to attach them to the wall.

[@CredoNonCredo]

Did you fix it to the wall?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

I didn't fix it on the wall. Thanks.

[@CredoNonCredo]

@@hejsseopikeaassembly4531 Thanks for the answer! I was wondering whether I fix mine or not. I did fix mine anyway, but thanks again!

[@user-cg5bv7wo7o]

Hi there~ how did u make the shelf balance against the wall without having to drill it into the wall? I'm having trouble with mine :( when I open both doors it starts to fall on me....

[@TidaratSomruang]

How to make the hole in the middle of the door leaf smaller?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

There is a handle in the product and a screw that fits it. If you turn the screw with an electric screwdriver, the hole is automatically drilled. You can tighten the handle as soon as it's pierced.

[@TidaratSomruang]

@@hejsseopikeaassembly4531 sorry, I mean the gap between the door panels.

[@mrrs8280]

Great video! How long did it take in total to assemble the whole piece? Thanks

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Thank you. Two sets of Billy bookshelves will take about two hours.

[@mrrs8280]

@@hejsseopikeaassembly4531 Good to know!

[@MissAnatance]

@@mrrs8280 Ok, so I guess that translates as 2 days for me 🤭😄

[@NuriaLuria]

Props to him for assembling BOTH bookshelves by himself

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

You will need an electric screwdriver, screwdriver, hammer, pencil, etc.

[@yorurei4047]

After building ten of them for our living room "library", it becomes almost automatic

[@TonyKeeling]

Can you tell me, If you use all shelves that come with the unit and spaced them evenly, approx. how many inches of space do you have vertically between shelves?

[@kayann3]

"Adjustable shelves can be arranged according to your needs." Check the product at ikea.com and the info you need are all there

[@TonyKeeling]

@@kayann3 The problem I had is that the Billy has a stationary shelf that Cannot be moved right in the middle and poses a serious problem for me. I ended up buying a PAX wardrobe shell and shelves from IKEA and it solved my problem. All shelves are adjustable. Thanks for responding!

[@Lensman864]

Very helpful because you've proved I can do this alone. My units are red.

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Red is also pretty. I'm glad you helped. Thank you.

뒷면 판 끼우시고 중간에 못질 하실때 노하우가 있나요? 저는 위치를 잘못맞춰서 못이 삐져나왔어요 ㅠ

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

설명서보시면 뒤판에 연필로 체크한후 못질하게 되어있습니다. 다른팁이 있는게아니라 설명서를 잘보시면 하실수 있던거였어요

[@sternfisch]

@@hejsseopikeaassembly4531 그렇군요. 설명서를 좀 잘 봐야하는데 조립하다 보니 정신이 혼미해져서요 ㅎㅎ 감사합니다~

[@bhavadharani.s2591]

What kind of wood it is made up of? Is it in good quality

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

not wood. Just think of it as plywood.

[@ashwingovi]

Do you fix this to a wall , I have the same fixed to a wall and I really don't know how to remove it !

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Most of them are not fixed here. I don't know how you fixed it, but if you used a knife block, you can turn it and remove it.

[@SpikeTheWolf]

Any difference from buying a single or the double one?

[@XzaroX]

Did you attach them to the wall?

[@lanewalp8727]

nope

[@deshaythomas2111]

are the glass doors sold separately ?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Yes sold separately.

[@HandbagDiva]

Well you made it look easy 😊

[@omerfarukbulut4660]

how did you assemble the two parts together (two bookshelf together)

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

You cannot connect the two. You just have to put it together.

[@TheEndleader]

I want the black version as a medicine cabinet

[@rodismantle2809]

Do you have to use power tools or can it be done by hand?

[@hejsseopikeaassembly4531]

Power tools are needed to be comfortable and quick. You can do it by hand, but it's a lot harder. And you really need a hammer.

I just assembled this yesterday...it was tough lol and not as gracefully done as you. But how do you attach the two billy bookcases together?

I love how he spoke to us and showed how he put every piece or if he had any issues with the gap in the middle . Lol 😔🤣

Can’t buy it anywhere:(

very fast, was not need to speed up, better 20 minutes but with slower instructions and observation

I enjoyed the video anyway

I’m sorry; moreover, you did a great job! And most door assemblies are very self explanatory, lol. I just got my order today!

Why can't you just demonstrate without time lapse?! ugh

[@MissAnatance]

It would be a 2-hour video if he had. You can slow the speed of the video (but considering your comment dates back to a year ago, I guess you are done assemblying the book shelf) xx
