Hello everyone,
I have a question about the IKEA BILLY bookcase that has been on my mind recently: Is it normal for the BILLY bookcase to sag slightly when loaded with books or other items? Specifically, my middle or lower shelves seem to bend a little under weight. I’m wondering if this is simply a characteristic of the materials or design, or if there might be an issue with the assembly or the load capacity.
I have had the bookcase for about 6 months and store books of moderate weight on it. Have you had similar experiences or any tips on how to prevent sagging? Спасибо in advance!

The standard shelves are not fully reinforced and rest on so-called metal pins.I noticed that as well. Sometimes it feels a bit fragile, but you can gradually get used to the feeling.
Especially when I have heavy books, I notice that slight sagging, but it doesn’t make me nervous—rather, it just makes me cautious.
I think it’s good that you can easily improve this by replacing the shelves or adding extra reinforcement, but most people don’t seem to be aware of that. Many thanks to Laukau5 for the detailed tips!
