Looking for the cheapest option just to get a lot of seforim organized I ordered one but it is really not sturdy with my children around any ideas? Something up to $150?

We have the taller version of this Sauder Camden County 3-Shelf Bookcase, Planked Cherry finish https://a.co/d/bUtbyya for over 15 years and they've held up really well. I can't seem to find this exact one in 5 shelves though. There's a similar one from the same brand Sauder Miscellaneous Storage 5 Bookcase/Book Shelf, L: 35.28" x W: 13.23" x H: 69.76", Select Cherry finish https://a.co/d/gqg9yid.

Any bookcase must get drilled in to the wall.

This. I've had my billy bookcases for sefarim for over 10 years without a problem. You can add the hight extender if you need a tall one.

Billy bookcases from Ikea anchored to the wall. We have them with the height extensions and doors on the bottom and they look beautiful and give a built in look.

Billy bookcases were recently redesigned using different material. It seems they are cheaper and less strong now.

Same with sauder bookshelves that I bought 15 years ago. I got new ones to replace my older ones and they’re shorter and not as strong

Anyone know someone in Brooklyn who can build in a billy bookcase? I.e. put moldings on top and side
