I did. I have doors that are half glass half covered. They also make doors that are all glass or all covered.

wow amazing! How do you know which ones to buy? do they help in the showroom, or do you have to figure it out yourself? if you bought online, how did you know if it was the right one?
And a sincere thank you for your help!

You'll see in the store. It's in the same section as the Billy bookshelf I think.
Or I'm sure one of the reps can help.

I found it easier to look online beforehand, see what my options are and go to the store with a printed list of which parts I will need.
I have quite a few of the Billy bookcases. Love them.
I have a few of the single ones, with no doors, for books.
I have the double ones with full glass doors and an extension for more height that I use as a seforim shrank.
It can be used as a China Closet but it's not airtight so your silver can get a little tarnished.
I'm still searching for an airtight one. Seems like you can only get that at the Jewish stores and I'm not spending those prices.

Also owner of Billy bookcases for my books, mine are with doors. I can see myself buying another as a china closet if needed  In that case I would buy the deeper bookcase of 40 cm, not the standard 30 cm.
That's what I like about Billy, multi-purpose and functional.

Measure space at home before shopping. I always check *everything* online before buying. The more you plan at home they easier when you shop.

Ikea also had several collections, not Billy, that are solid wood. A bit more pricey yet still ridiculously cheap for what you are getting & will serve you better over the years.
My Billy bookcase lasted nicely- 7 years maybe but then it collapsed in a heap, I didn't even need to disassemble for the trash!
