I recently bought a Billy bookshelf from IKEA and, after some time, noticed that it is prone to scratches in many areas, even though I handle it very carefully. My question is: why are some Billy bookshelves more susceptible to scratches than others? Are there differences in material quality, manufacturing, or external factors that affect this vulnerability? If so, how can these differences be explained in detail? Additionally, I would like to know if there are any tips to protect the shelf from scratches better without needing to treat it completely differently.
