[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to put up a wall of bookshelves in our basement, and I'm wondering if there are any inexpensive options other than Ikea's Billy bookcases? We don't have the budget for built-ins or high-end shelves. I was thinking of doing Billy and then hacking it by gluing some molding on the top and in-between units, but maybe there's something better out there. We don't want to do the Elfa-type shelves. All suggestions are very appreciated![/quote] Wood is expensive. DH is a carpenter and wanted to create a built in wall in the basement. I pushed for the IKEA hack you are proposing. It looks great. Even with $0 labor, the cost of the materials for the built in wall was more than we spent at ikea.[/quote]
