We had someone go to Ikea for us!<BR/><BR/>Our big tip (if you are using Billy shelves) is try to come up with an engineering solution for either a) tilting each whole bookcase slightly during installation, or b) inclining the shelves slightly after installation. But try to do this *before* you fit.<BR/><BR/>The alternative is to do what we did and have the bookcases and shelves completely flush to the walls ('cos we hadn't thought it through). This means that occasionally our face-outs hurl themselves off the shelves and onto the floors because they are not inclined (we now use plastic stands to solve this, but it did cause slight wailing and gnashing of teeth after we opened).Mark Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099767231368474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159946864890651879.post-22223030834392272632008-02-24T16:50:00.000+00:002008-02-24T16:50:00.000+00:00Crikey, trust me to be away and off-line the week ...Crikey, trust me to be away and off-line the week it all happens!
