Be careful assembling shelf back piece. AntonellaThe assembly instructions need further explanation of how far to insert the 10093082 units into the 10093081 pieces. I found if you push them in too far, the shelf pieces do not fit properly. They end up with gaps at the ends which weakens the shelf.4
Worth it!AndreaI drove 1 hr and 30 mins to purchase this bookshelf since it was the only one left in stock in my state! I was so happy to pick it up and set it up at home. The assembly was very straightforward and easy. It feels sturdy and is a perfect addition to my room. Finally all my CDS and books have a place to live 5
SkruvbyBarbaraStill putting it together but a lot of small pieces.5

For the price, this bookcaseMariaFor the price, this bookcase is pretty solid.4
Easy to build, looks expensive!KristinI bought 4 of these bookcases to make wall of shelves and they look great--like an expensive built-in bookcase. I like that height and the wood colored tops. I found them easy to build by myself. One tip if building alone: I put some of the cardboard packing under the two sides when I was attaching them to the bottom piece. This made it easier to line up the holes.5
Not the quality expectedAntonellaWe purchased this bookshelf to use for shoe storage. We added additional shelves to provide enough space to accommodate all our shoes. It works well for our intended purpose, and it fits well in our mud room.
However... the quality of this item was somewhat disappointing. The sturdiness of construction is inferior to that of the Enhet and Besta cabinets which we also purchased recently. The fasteners which attach the top to the shelf merely push, rather than screw, into the pre-drilled holes, and thus the top could be pulled right off. Additionally, the shelf is constructed of laminated particle board, which makes it somewhat heavy, but seemingly weak. It should be fine for our purpose, but I would not recommend it for loading full of heavy books.3
Awesome unit. High quality andMaritaAwesome unit. High quality and great price5
WORST ITEM EVER!VivianShelves are 1/4 short and not able to hold up any books or items. Found out this is a defective item after assembling which we have to disassemble to for a return. IKEA customer service is not helpful. This item is the worst item I have ever had from IKEA.1
Great value and just whatBarbaraGreat value and just what was needed, good fit and size5
Nice shelves!ShelliThis was easy to assemble and the parts were drilled appropriately. There are adjusting pads on the bottom for leveling if needed. It's a nice height and the shelves are deeper than average so lots of room. It's still laminated particle board but I expected that. Nice looking, sturdy and very happy with this!4
Not sturdyJessieBookcase is really flimsy, not sturdy at all (on its own) and wobbles to the sides, even with the very thin backboard. According to manual, it needs to be screwed into the wall but I got this so I wouldn’t have to make holes in my wall. Definitely going back. Looks nice with the wood like finish on top tho.1
Love it!SarahThis shelf was very easy to build and looks great. I think it took me about 20 minutes to put together by myself. I purchased it for my retail store since it matches my other fixtures. I love that it has feet that you can level, and overall it's just nicer looking than your standard Billy bookcase. I'll probably buy another one for my home since I like it so much.5
Shelves are too shortAnthonyI was disappointed in this bookcase. I have several other Skruvby items, all made correctly with correct shelf lengths. The shelves in this bookcase unfortunately are too short by a few millimeters, causing there to be a large gap between the sides of the bookcase and the shelf on one side. It makes them incredibly difficult to fit in as well. Not recommended at all. If this bookcase were made right, I'd recommend it, but unfortunately someone did their measuring wrong and these shelves do not fit with this bookcase.1
