The IKEA Billy Project: A BILLY library like no other

Benjamin sent in his massive IKEA BILLY project — a BILLY library to be exact. He wanted “a large bookcase in the style of a small library.” And he got exactly what he envisioned.

The library spans across a doorway and so classy when lit.

If you’re planning on your own BILLY project, the bridge is probably the part to pay most attention to. It’s formed from 2 rows of BILLY height extension units and Benjamin took extra steps to make sure everything holds up.
