Tools Needed
- IKEA Allen key (included)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Hammer or rubber mallet
Parts Checklist
- 2 side panels
- Top + bottom panels
- Back panel
- 4-5 adjustable shelves + pegs
- Hardware bag (cam locks, dowels, nails)
- Wall-anchor bracket + screws
Critical Steps
- Insert all shelf pegs before placing shelves — they're easy to lose track of.
- Attach the back panel before standing the bookcase upright.
- The wall-anchor bracket is not optional — BILLY tips forward easily when unanchored.
Pro Tips
- Particleboard shelves sag under heavy books over time — do not overload, use all shelf pegs evenly.
- Must be anchored to the wall — BILLY is a top tip-over risk when unanchored.
