    Guys, before you fill in all those inner holes - IKEA sells little cover caps that you just stick in there and can remove anytime later if needed.
    You can find them in their VARIERA or KOMPLEMENT series. 😊

    DIY … but majority of it is IKEA particle board ready for assembly lol.
    These types of “DIY” vids are more for suburban inner city types that want to be thrifty but usually have the luxury where they don’t have to bother thinking about a budget/cost of things in the long run (y’know … the intent of DIYing being that you’re looking to do it yourself while spending as little as possible for better quality over mass manufactured products), so the videos are often a bit tone deaf lol.
    Just build a bookshelf yourself with actual wood - cheaper than buying three IKEA shelves made of particle board and all that extra wood and trim. As another comment suggested, can get plywood much cheaper and it will last much longer no matter what IKEA lovers claim. If one doesn’t like the look of plywood, there’s all kinds of wood styles to choose from varying in thickness and type for a fraction of the cost. You’ll get to customize it in detail to your liking and know you’ll get many years of use out of it on the cheap.
