Hello everyone, I’m planning to assemble a few IKEA Billy bookcases at home. I want to avoid making mistakes from the start that could make the assembly more difficult or make the bookcase unstable. My question to the community is: How can I assemble Billy bookcases without making errors? Are there specific tips or tricks to know during assembly, such as the order of steps, tools to use, or things to pay special attention to? I want to understand and follow the instructions as well as possible to avoid having to take everything apart later. Looking forward to your tips and advice!

Could you perhaps list the assembly steps as an example?Sure, here is a practical sequence of steps for the standard Billy:
1. Lay out all parts on a flat surface and check for completeness.
2. Attach the dowels to the carcass sides (side panels).
3. Insert the shelves into the designated holes/recesses, but do not tighten the screws yet.
4. Connect the side panels with the shelves, paying attention to alignment.
5. Fix the back panel by carefully screwing or stapling it in place; this is important for stability.
6. Check vertical and horizontal levels, adjust if necessary.
7. Fully tighten all connections, but avoid overtightening.
Following this order minimizes errors by focusing on the stability of the basic structure.
