The item
IKEA BILLY Bookcase
Model 002.638.50
BILLY is IKEA's classic open bookcase and one of the best-selling shelves in the world. It ships as a flat package roughly 81 by 12 by 31 inches that you build on site, so the long, slim box, not the upright shelf, is your carry object. At about 12 inches thick it clears doors easily; the length is what to watch on turns.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
What size is the IKEA BILLY Bookcase carry object?
Use the standard flat-pack box: about 81×12×31 inches. IKEA flat-pack products are usually assembled inside the room, so the box is what has to clear the path.
- 02
Is door fit harder than a normal doorway?
Usually no for a flat-pack. The door is normally easy; tight hallway turns after the door can still block a long box.
- 03
Should I use package dimensions or assembled dimensions?
Use package dimensions when you are bringing home a new IKEA item. Use assembled dimensions only if the product is already built and cannot be disassembled.
- 04
How accurate are these measurements?
These are ItemFits retail research figures based on IKEA published dimensions and the existing IKEA dimensions catalog. Package sizes can vary by color, article, and market, so measure your actual box and run the live checker.
