Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Billy bookshelf from IKEA and am currently trying to assemble it. However, some details remain unclear—especially regarding the attachment of the back panel and the connecting dowels, which I cannot clearly identify. My question is: Where is the best place to get help if I have technical questions or encounter problems during the assembly of the Billy bookshelf? Are there official contacts, online resources, or perhaps experienced users here who can offer tips for the assembly?
I would be very grateful for any guidance on how to get targeted support, especially if visiting an IKEA store in person is not an option. Many thanks in advance!

Summary:
1. The grey plastic dowels (connecting dowels) are used to securely fix the side panels with the supplied screws.
2. The back panel of BILLY is made of thin particleboard or plywood and is attached using the supplied nails. These should be driven in carefully and straight to avoid damaging the material.
3. For maximum safety, I recommend using the wall fasteners that IKEA provides for BILLY. These increase stability and prevent tipping.
4. Official IKEA resources (product page, customer service) offer detailed instructions and replacement parts if needed.
I advise paying attention to the quality of screws and dowels and avoiding overtightening any tools.

I also want to make the shelf sturdy because it will need to carry quite a bit of weight later.That’s an important point. Besides correctly installing the dowels and the back panel, you should definitely use wall mounting brackets. This prevents the shelf from tipping, which can be especially dangerous when it is heavily loaded.
If you’re uncertain during assembly, IKEA sometimes offers assembly assistance, either bookable online or directly in the store.
I’m sure with these tips you’ll manage it really well!
