Hello everyone,
I am currently looking into a specific question regarding the IKEA Billy bookshelf: Are there any special screws or fasteners that should be used for increased load on the shelf, instead of the standard screws included in the basic package?
Specifically, I want to load the shelf more heavily (e.g., with more books or heavy decorative items) and wonder whether the original mounting hardware can withstand the increased stress over time or if it is advisable to use reinforced screws, wall plugs, or other connectors.
My question concerns not only the wall fixing but also all the screws that connect the individual shelf components – for example, the fastenings for the back panel, side panels, or shelf supports.
Does anyone have experience or recommendations for special screws that can significantly improve the stability of the BILLY bookshelf?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
