I have ordered Billy bookcases.Less anxious about putting it together after watching this video. The joining screws are a particularly useful touch

[@plunder1956]

Thank you for a helpful and positive set of instructions. I have two very small suggestions. 1. Use a shelf laid on the backing, between the sides, to marking a line for nails. It is automatically parallel to the top. 2. Many Drill-Drivers are now very powerful. Always set it to a low torque setting to install screws in the side panels.

[@tiffanyeastley4150]

We followed your video step by step as we assembled our Billy bookcase. So helpful and very well done! Thank you for putting this video together!

Joining with these screws i would suggest joining them in the back row and doing it under or over a shelf where you cant see them.

common who needs a instruction for IKEA shelves🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣they are like Duplo and they stands complete alone without drewing on the wall its only good when you had statues with tons of kilos but when you put normal things in it dont screw it on the wall

[@uncrunch398]

@@Endo-uu8mo If there is any chance whatsoever a small child or any pet who likes to climb might come by them and any adult looks away it's worth anchoring to the wall anything that is possible to tip forward.

Do you do a video about joking the corner shelf to the rest?

I built these in the 1990s. They weren't well known, but very good way to create a library room.

[@salluadow9649]

Thanks brother

[@robertschulz1234]

Great video. Just curious as to why didn’t you use the connection face stip to hide the seam. And make it look more like it is all one long bookcase? I like the idea of those joining screws.

[@averyclarke2689]

Thank you!!!

[@catherinemorrin9782]

Thankyou for this very clear instructions. I managed to assemble my bookcase but was confused with the small metal clips that the shelves sit on, wasn't sure how which way they slotted into the bookcase for shelves to sit on 🤦‍♀️ but I can do it now 👏😀

They also do them in 40cm width. Do the shelves on these 80cm ones sag over time with weight of proper books?

[@sheilaclerkin2238]

Hi order from Ikea spare parts. You need one 100402 and one 100644. They fit into each other as show in vid. Hope that helps, Ikea will post them straight to you

[@AlvinC-sz3li]

Just built my shelves today. My floor(laminate floor, basement level) is uneven, and my shelves are all twisted. Will buy some shim tomorrow.

[@kathymcdonald8234]

Thank you for your clear instructions. I just have one question, how do you join the corner one to the bookcases either side?

[@rayjaytay8442]

Are all the holes suppose to be align to where you have a lot of flexibility of how much distance you want the shelves or are there only certain spots you can place the shelves? Not all the holes are align on mine is it defective?

[@jeffreygomez7360]

So that’s how u join the bookcases, i was wondering, thank u, nice video

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@jamescoble2415]

These look cases pretty strong? I had a couple shelves brake just from the weight of my books.

[@cypress4539]

Hello, Can you provide the size of the connection screws (in mm) that you are using to join the bookcases together and at what heights do you recommend putting them? Since the width of each bookcase wall is .75 inches (1 1/2 inches for 2 bookcases together), should I use an M6 40mm connection screw/barrel bolt?

[@loso8393]

Anyone get the answer for this because I'm about to do this

I'm using the M4 Ø 5mm 31-40mm for the Billy 40x28x202cm

[@TheDevilsHand]

@ Can you provide a link to these?

[@marycate4475]

What size drill bit did you use for the connectors? This was such a helpful video, thank you!

[@barriemoorcroft534]

5mm drill bit. same size as the holes.

I can’t find this shelves anywhere in ikea store now. So I don’t know If I can add more shelves on this book case, and if ikea store sell extra shelves for this product or not.

[@pccr2425]

Is the corner bookcase just a regular bookcase, just narrower?

[@EnGee23]

Where do you get the screws you used to join the bookcases together? I don’t have any spare from other IKEA shelves. What do you ask for in a hardware shop?

[@vflsun]

Joining screws. I told one of the salespeople what I was trying to do at Ace Hardware and he took me straight to the place. There were two sizes. I think I may have gotten the too small size, but I know where to go so it's not a problem. Good luck.

[@visualbettew6138]

Took a look around and found these "binding posts" at the Home Depot

[@HadrysL]

Omg! I found the video, start watching, stopped it, build my bookcase, continue watching the video and looked at all my mistakes in 5 minutes

[@giacomomaggiore01]

great video, do you know if the background panel is necessary? can I avoid mounting it?

[@PPFlatPack]

I would suggest the back panel BILLYis already slim it would go down. Well if you attach unit to the wall possibly can work without back panel but still I would put-it there better safe than sorry

[@alaskakathryn1]

How do you line up and attach the narrow corner bookcase to the ones on each side? I don't see a video for that.

[@monaattiah3976]

Thanks for great video. Sorry guys I don't understand anything about drilling😅: the L bracket that we screwinto the wall, is there actually no screw that goes into the Billy?? Thanks

[@PPFlatPack]

Billy bookcase don't include wall plugs and the screws so if you want to secure them to the wall you need to buy them extra. Just get the right one for your time of the wall btw. Ikea selling that too. Ikea FIXA - 260-piece screw and plug set

[@wangxiyang91]

whats the name of the screw to join both bookcase and what bracket to use to secure to the wall? thank you

[@UncleAir]

The audio was kind of hard to hear when you described the screws that join the shelves together, what are those called? And do they come with the Billy's?

[@PPFlatPack]

Screws call Connector bolts screws and they not coming in the box with BILLY Bookcases. You can get them in any diy store.

[@outfitsday7635]

What is the material of the back fold part ? pls ?

[@amthunder1]

Great info. Just a bit monotone. Thank you.

[@eweinschenk2151]

How tall is the cutout in the back of the bookcase. I know I need shorter baseboards, but how short should they be?

[@benhersko2830]

Aprox 60mm. Just take a jigsaw and cut off a bit more if you need. But most walls, especially in older houses, aren't straight anyway, so it's an irrelevant issue

[@TheJoshLange]

I'm in America. What screw and drill bit size do I need for this? I bought some M6s (5/16 bit) but the screws seem like they're too big...

[@andy42x]

This looks really good, though after wrestling with my Billy bookshelves, I've found that if I so much as look at them the wrong way, they'll chip and break. Wondering if anyone else had this same experience.

[@benhersko2830]

You get what you pay for, you won't find a better price point anywhere for the quality. If you want something that is gonna last for generations get bespoke hand made, and pay the price

[@benhersko2830]

@in ter well obviously! The more you do yourself, the cheaper it will be I was comparing like for like, IKEA's Billy's are the best quality complete flatpacked bookcase in a box for that price point If u have the skills and tools to make your own, it will obviously be better Even then, you will not save a great deal in costs, as well, it is unlikely that you will be able to cut to the same tolerances that a factory sliced bookcase will have

[@benhersko2830]

@in ter also, one further point, a Billy takes 10 minutes to assemble, build your own will be 2 or 3 hours hour, minimum! Your time is also worth money

[@andycflee168]

What's the SIZE of the binding post screw for Ikea's bookcase?!

[@OneTouchFilms_]

Niceee

[@badocto4737]

My problem is I can't get the back flap on the small Billy bookcase; it flips in or out pasted the line like a screen door in the wind.

Having a very hard time finding the right size joining screws - where did you get yours?

Be careful when using joining/connection screws when you drill the hole it may shatter the veneer as it did mine

This looks so much easier to assemble then the Corona bookcase

[@greenbeginner9221]

I'm still trying to find the joining screws you used. Do you have exact sizes and a link? Here in the US, the shops that carry bolts and screws (Ace, Lowe's, Home Depot) only have a very limited selection of unusual hardware.

[@greenbeginner9221]

I even tried the Ikea website and they offer nothing.

As far as I can tell, they don’t ship, only deliver. The nearest store to me is a two hour drive. Needless to say, I am outside the delivery radius.

[@lizareadsbooks228]

Yes they are they keep the shelves from falling on you because they are so top heavy

Do shelves bend after some time in the middle? I have heavy books.

[@Patrickcg]

The longer Billy will. But the short version I have had no problem with.

[@genejohnson382]

If that happens, I would flip the shelf and re-shelve books.

[@lordsawerin]

@@genejohnson382 Makes sense. Though, it will require some work and mostly likely won't be able to do that too many times. Since screws go inside and through the body, would have to disassemble the whole thing. With omnibuses it's going to be pretty often.

[@nigelpallett2656]

If heavy items I would use 2 shelves(1 sitting on top of the other which is sitting on the screw) That way shelf won’t bend.
