Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves kzfaq.infoUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

I was looking for an idea to decorate a bookcase. This was great! Very informative and easy to follow! Thanks for sharing

A skilled craftsman at work, thank you for sharing this, I look forward to giving this a go.

Great transformation, I will definitely be doing this in my new house. Can’t beat those ikea bookcases for the price, I could buy the material for that cost let alone your time. You’ve made them look great for minimal expense. Thanks for sharing

Plastic on the bed, tools on the bed. I thought I was the only one. Great shelf idea.

Uh-maazzzing....great job!!! I love this and wish you were near Chicago! It's beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful. I admire your attention to detail.

6:22 Glad you moved your fingers. I am always thinking about that when I use a finish nailer. Nice job overall btw.

Wow. Nice job. Love the attention to detail. Thanks for the generosity and sharing.

Wish you were in NM. I’d have you do mine! I wanted to get some Billy’s since they’re 79” tall, but had to settle for Target 71” since Ikea is a 5 hours drive away. It’s not the dream library wall, but it will do. Not sure I could finish them off as nicely as these you did!

Excellent idea and craftsmanship. Thanks for the tips

..just found your channel, the Billy bookcase transformation looks fab…. 👍

Wow! I was looking for a DIY I could do to transform these but I can’t do this! You made these look built in

Excellent job. Thanks for sharing

This is amazing workmanship. Looks awesome: 👏

Easy to setup. A little difficult to get used to using.

The hacked out light switches inside the book case is jank AF.

Extremely helpful

Great job!

Nice! Wish you could do that for the billy bookcases we just bought!

Very nice. Are the shelves also affixed to the wall?

Hello - so no glue used with nailing the face frame to the front of the books cases? I am getting ready to do this and thought I would need to dado the back and apply with glue. Good to know the nails don’t go crazy after being shot in. What length nails did you use? I like that top cap trick you did. Nice work.

4:29 that baby is watching you

my problem is i cant get these things delivered to me. and i live in the middle of Oklahoma city so its not like i am out in the boondocks. i dont understand why i cant get these delivered here.

wooo 🥳

What is the depth of the timber? I am from the uk and love what you’ve done

Hello, nice work, what size nails and nail gun did you use? Thanks

Where would I go to find someone to do this? Like what would their job title be ?

We have your shutterstock pictures and would like to return them somehow.

May I ask how much you charged for this and where you are based?

Is it offensive to ask the carpenters in one's area to do this? Not sure if Ikea is a curse word to them lol

I can see why Jesus' profession was a carpenter. Miracle workers😍

oh god those cut outs for light switches look fucking horrible.

If I were to ask a local carpenter to do this, about how much should I expect to pay? I live in Kentucky
