We have the Ikea bookcases. The shelves are adjustable so you can make the bottom shelf as high as you need. And they're holding up pretty nicely.

We did the skinny billy bookcases from Ikea so there's less weight on each shelf. You may need more than 1 bookcase for a set of art scroll though

What size shas? We have the medium size I think. They sit just fine in the 9 cube shelves we got for $50 when we got married. I think just about all fit on one unit.

Tx! Dh has the big English Hebrew (Aramaic) shas. So the billy bookcase holds them? And I should rather get the skinnier version but maybe 2 so it doesn’t have as much weight per shelf?

To clarify further, an entire set of Artscroll shas takes up 4 shelves on the regular size Billy bookcase. The narrower ones are about half the width so you would need 8 shelves. Being that they are heavy, I would probably split the set between at least 2 bookcases if you can/ wouldn't put them all on one bookcase. Also, because they are heavy, please bolt if to your wall (it comes with an attachment) so they don't tip.
