Is this the same Billy book shelf that is sold for less than $60 at the Ikea retail store ?

I don't know, but the bookcase components were excellent, easy to put together, and the finished product is quite attractive.

Yes it is. Billy Bookcase, Article Number: 701.040.99EDIT: Was, this item is now discontinued from Ikea (not available for online purchase, and most stores sold out), which explains the raised prices on amazon.

There are a set of 3 shelves that you can purchase. I believe they were around $50.00, atleast they were available at the time of my purchase which was around August of last year.

Yes it is, and I always leave the shelf out. Gives you more space. GREAT PRODUCT.

When you click this item it has the "customers also bought" list and it looks like a tower shelf that matches in color. I was actually thinking about getting it.

Matt, I live in the MIDDLE of nowhere...have you ever seen what IKEA charges for delivery? This is a much better deal.

I have no idea if the IKEA is the same quality as this unit??? I do know I like the one I have. It serves my purpose.

I am using the unit for books and I have ALOT of books on it. It is very stable. It does have hole to place screws in and anchor it to the wall. The screws do not come with the unit. I plan on getting the screws to make it even more secure. The predrilled holes are also not very noticeable. Overall, I really like the unit. You can get the unit a lot cheaper from IKEA thou. I got it from amazon because I do not live anywhere close to an ikea and it's cheaper through amazon( because shipping costs from ikea are crazy ).

Yes it is. The legs are predrilled for dowels but no dowels are provided with the shelves. You can get them at a hardware store.

I agree that it looks similar to Lowes set, but my Custom Deluxe set had 7 shelves plus long shelf for top above the rods. We have 3 sets of these & love them. I watched for sale price snagged them for under $85 each.

Yes. It's quite short. The middle shelf is also glass(which is hard to tell from the photo).

Yes it is. It is a very nice bookcase. We did have to get a new side as it came damaged, but the company was very good about sending it promptly at no cost to us.

The answer was posted above. I love these shelves. They are sturdy and fit perfectly in my cupboard.

I do not know but presume for the price & that you've owned it awhile, I'd just buy a new one & save the shelves

Not sure! I got 2 shelves, 1 large (5.5x7x6.5") and 1 small (5x5x5.5") ~ both cost the same. Love them!

I actually was going to order the Ikea Alex, but when a $115 or so cabinet turned into $315 with the freight I just about fainted! I don't know if this one is better or worse, but it certainly was a better buy!!

I am just guessing but if I want to buy this online from IKEA and have it shipped shipping alone would cost me $199.00! I have an IKEA about an hour away so I'm going to go ahead and take a trip but if I didn't the shelving I could buy for sixty dollars in the store would two hundred and sixty to ship so with that factored in Amazon is actually much cheaper.
