Is this an Ikea bookshelf?

Hello. I saw this bookshelf in an online ad: FREE IMAGE HOSTING - ImageCabin Free Image Hosting

I wanted to know if this was an Ikea bookshelf? I looked through their catalog, but I did not see it. I'd like to have something similar.

Thanks,
- Eli

Re: Is this an Ikea bookshelf?

Welcome to IKEAFANS, Eli.

It is an IKEA bookcase (or looks suspiciously like one they used to sell), the name of which escapes me right now. I can tell you it's no longer in the IKEA range, but I'll look up the name later to see if you can do some alternate sourcing.

Re: Is this an Ikea bookshelf?

It does look a lot like the Expedit in terms of the square openings, but of course the Expedit is enclosed rather than open at the ends.


For open shelving they have the Enteri

and of course there is always Billy, which comes in various pieces and parts to customize as you like

Thank you for the welcome, Chuck.

Darn, I wish they still make that bookshelf, it looks very open. The Expedit is pretty expensive, maybe I'll have to go with the Enteri and a cheaper okay looking bookshelf. I'm on a poor medical student budget nowadays.

You, my friend, need the AS-IS room! Home of all sorts of bargains...that is until you give them a new home! Shop early, shop often. It's near the checkouts usually - go in the out door, then backwards through the registers, then take a look around. Good luck!
