I have never seen anyone with that much Manga. Your collection is bigger than Barnes and nobles.😂

This is one of the most informative videos out there about this stuff. So I was interested in getting the Billy with the glass front for collecting manga and now I know it's not going to sag! Also knowing I can fit 2 extra rows is super helpful! Thank you so much!

I've been searching for a couple months for good manga shelves and this was the most informative video I've watched. Keep doing your thing man love the channel.

The OG, Billy of course. It’s all I buy. With height extension of course.

The great thing about the Kallax (Expedit) shelves that they don’t bow at all. I have 5x5s packed to the brim with omnis, HCs, books, trades, statues etc. And looks as good as when it was first assembled.

Thank you much. Very helpful and informative information for people who wants to know more about these shelves.

Love your collection and room strategy

Agh i’m so jealous. You have such a good manga collection!

i got my own home about 6 years ago, i am about to turn 50 and i never thought i would be able to have my own home but i got an unexpected opportunity and definitely took advantage of it. before that though my whole childhood and teens and twenties and thirties i have always lived in small tight apartments, i have always been crowded and always hated wasted space. i am also 6'5" and my entire life i have hated how your normal cheap book cases you get at places are usually 6" tall, so not only am i taller than the book cases but there is like 2 or 3 feet of wasted space above most book cases and i cannot stand that. so now after all these years and having my own home finally i wanted to get some real book cases that are more than 6 feet tall i want them to go to the damn ceiling. and all i can ever find are crazy expensive book cases from fancy bourgeois furniture stores and they still usually have some wasted space above them. so finally a few weeks ago i discovered the Billy book cases, unfortunately i have yet been able to get any as it seems they are completely out at the distribution centers and stores at the moment and i dont know when they are getting more in. but i sure will be happy to get my books out of the boxes they have been sitting in since i moved like 6 years ago.

What's up Riley? When I first started collecting Omnies I bought a thin Billy shelf for my Omnies. Your videos are what helped me decide to get a Billy shelf. Now that I collect statues along with Omnies, I think that I'm going to get Kallax shelves because I want away to display my Omnies along with my statues. Great video my dude. Stay safe.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful~

wow, lucky you. my Billy book case shelves would warp over the years under the weight of my books. I had to buy custom shelves.

Billy for manga looks decent. It'd be even better if they had 3-4 inches less depth so you don't lose all that floor space. I'm still looking for a solid wood solution for my heavy hardcovers. I used Kallax units for a long time but they are too deep (6-8" empty space in depth) and the cube dividers make organizing/adding new books a pain (shifting everything around).

Hey there. Your room divider really works on either side. You have a neat, organized and great library. I just got some white shelves but actually, black shelves look really good. Glad I came cross your vid.

Thank you your video really helped me to furnish my room

I'm so impressed and so jealous. I also want to know how you move when/if you do. That has kept me from moving for the longest time and I only have like 600+ books.

Thx you so much

Nice collection! Might need to rethink that extender being directly underneath a smoke detector. There should be 350mm in every direction clear of the smoke detector. But at least it’s up in the ceiling and not hidden away because it was beeping.

Very good video book stuff 👍

Wonderful setup, I would die for a room devoted to my books but alas I must suffer.

I bought a book shelf from dollar general, after a month the bottom shelf was torn by the nails which caused the book shelf to fall. Luckily I was there to catch it but I’m definitely going to go buy a billy shelf

Thanks for the help. I just started collecting comics and just need something to start me out so thank you

Hey nice vid man. Question, why do you prefer having your books pushed back against the wall rather than forward in line with the edge of the shelf? Been trying to decide myself.

Great and very informative. Noticed you have Excel Saga there, great show only have a few of the manga though.

What should I do if I can afford the Billys but the shipping is 6 times the price of the Billy, does anyone have any ideas?

Are there bookshelves around the same price that WONT sag with heavier books?

I know I'm really late and you probably won't see this but did you anchor yours to the wall?

I also use a bunch of Billy. One random thing I notice on mine: Marvel omni shelves sag more than DC omni shelves despite having the same number of books. I'm guessing Marvel uses a thicker paper stock.

Lol, I was literally about to make a video on this!!!!

With how many books are sitting on your shelves, do they ever experience any level of sagging?

My problem with Ikea is that it's 2 and a half hours away, I don't have a vehicle that could fit anything even if I wanted to drive there and the shipping is ridiculous. Turns a $120 bookcase into a $545 book case. I can get a much better bookcase from anywhere else for that. There are several things I'd get from them if that wasn't the case.

strong tip: Add a dehumidifier in that room and silica gel packages around the shelves.

Do you have your Billy's anchored to the wall?

Impressive! Have you seen the need to anchor them to the wall?

Can Billy’s fit all Omnibuses? Measurements seem to say no.

Can you add one height extention over another? Like, having multiple extenders for the top to reach very high ceilings

Thank you for this perfect vid

I've been collecting the Marvel Masterworks hardcover series. They are pretty much standard dimension hardcovers. In your estimation, how many rows will the Billy provide for these books?

Are the kallaxs better for omnibuses then the billys?

Interesting video, thanks! What about a video on what app/software you use track you collection, what you haven't read yet, etc.

very helpful. Thank you sir! =)

can't seem to find the extra shelves for the billy only the extenders, IKEA UK doesn't seem to list them on their website :/ [EDIT] i found them!!!! by the way you have a mesmerizing collection i'm going to make it my goal to match your collection :D massive respect from GB

Could you do a video on the Pokemon manga? I have the first 4 volumes but not sure if I should get more.

The white billy book case are cheaper, but you mention it gets dirty? What do you mean?

Will I be able to fit DC Absolute Editions on a Billy Bookshelf?

My wife has a ton of hardcover picture books. Looking to get some shelves for her collection but I’ve heard that the wider billy bookcase shelves from ikea sag and bend. Do you happen to have that problem with your Billy’s?

do the billy shelves have to connect to a wall or can I use them like your kallax as room divider?

Are all these shelves anchored? My collection is still relatively small and I've never had to anchor one before but I am noticing the lean a tad more than usual (Still not worried though).

Hey dude on the big Billy how many screw holes apart are each shelf? As I also have 8 in mine but can't seem to get it to all look the same? Is one shelf a bit bigger then the others ?

I noticed you have the elfen lied manga and ive been hesitant to buy it because its small but really thick. Is it hard to read the manga of elfen lied with it being that thick or is it like reading any other manga?

Question, did ikea discontinue the billy bookcase or is it just popular? It’s never in stock

The BILLY is 11in deep which deeper than needed for most Manga the FINNBY is 9.5in deep, 23 1/2in wide, 70 7/8in Tall

Impressive collection!! Joke: does your home insurance know you've got 14,000 pounds of books in your house?? 😅

this man has the library of alexandria in his house

So what job do you have and how long did it take you to Accumulate such a collection

ty

I dont have an ikea close by. I’m doing a gamble every time I order from Amazon and order random brands 😅😭

the Billy bookshelf i got is not as big as yours

Nice video. I have a 5*5 Expedit (basically the old name for the Kallax), a 5*5 and a 2*4 Kallax: my Expedit is filled to the brim with manga+Dylan Dog, and I mean three rows of stuff in each cube, and I've had it for two decades. The best.

you should make it a T shape again i think it would look much better

did you remove the baseboards so they would be flush with the wall? I'm going to be installing 4 units and trying to plan it out

What do you mean by "wide billy" is it just a normal billy with extra shelves?

Do you have a video out for your top 10 dc and top 10 marvel omnibuses?

My shelves are so gonna break😂😔😂

Any ikea alternatives cause I’m don’t have a ikea where I live?

Well....I'm gonna die alone. Where are all the guys who have their own home libraries?!

Great vid. If they sag can't you just put a board in the middle on each self to make a support to stop the sagging.

Bro owns a manga shop lol

Dam those shelves are so expensive

you already read all that?

Do they like go down in the middle after a while or does it stay straight the past bookshelf ive had sag down so I was wondering if these do the same?

Manga will sag your wallet. 😂😂😂
