    We've got plenty of those Billys, in our apartment. They're cheap. But, there's a good reason as to why they are. If you put heavy things in them, the shelves tend to sag, because their made from pressed-together woodchips and adhesive. You also have to take care not to perforate the coated layer. Otherwise, any water that seeps through will cause the shelf to bloat
