I like it. The only thing that bothers me about the Billy is that you can see the fold creases in the back panel.


I agree.

Anyways, awesome collection and nicely organized!

Looking good Rhino.

The Billy makes for a nice set up. Does it comes with lights at the top or were these something you installed?

i installed dioders from ikea. not real bright, but low heat. would have been nice if i put another set in (you can screw them in or use the sticky back), but i figured i'd rather put the money in more toys

How do you run the cord for the light out to your socket? I don't have any holes on my Billy cabinets. Do you find that the light won't travel to the middle shelves blocked from all the toys above?

I don't know how rhino did it, but there is a small opening at the top of the back panel. It is supposed to be used for the wall brace, but I imagine electrical cords could go through it as well.

i just purchase 4 billy bookcases (various sizes) I had to anchor them into the studs in the walls using long screws especially with CA earthquakes. Anyway they are awesome.

Great setup by the way.
