Hello everyone,
maybe someone can help me? I have a corner in the living room where I want to place a (white) bookshelf. I like the Billy with a top unit best. However, the wall is partly somewhat damp (which I have unsuccessfully tried to fix), so it would be better to use a bookshelf without a back panel, allowing air to circulate. Other shelves like Expedit, for example, don’t fit because the available corner sides are 1.30/1.20 meters (4 ft 3 in / 3 ft 11 in) – I have tried almost everything. I know that Billy definitely needs the back panel for stability, just like the Pax wardrobe requires its back panel. My thought is: can I place the Billy shelf about 2 cm (0.8 inches) away from the wall and fix it with additional angle brackets, and can I remove some sections of the back panel for ventilation so that no mold forms on the wall? What do you think, or does anyone have another idea?
Thanks in advance!
