Funny I should notice this thread now. We’ve spent the last two years renovating a 35 year old home. Took a lot of it right down to the studs, and except for the structural beams and kitchen cabinets, did most of the other stuff myself. I molded in a set of four Billy’s in one room to make a built-in library. I thought about just making the whole thing from poplar/pine, but making a decent door is a bit beyond my skill level. The billy doors were cheap and easy to use at least until the kids are grown. I’ll probably remove the doors down the road, when there’s less need to hide clutter - they look really sharp as open shelves.
