We need new bookcases for sefarim. We got rid of our solid ones when we moved. We have some Billy's, but I know that won't cut it. Any bookcases at IKEA, in online stores or in regular furniture chain stores that are up to par for sefarim? I'm not in town but I can get bookcases made here by a guy that makes nice looking ones for sefarim and are very solid (1.25" shelves). Just seeing if more expensive/custom frum options are the only options.

We have a few narrow Billy's because of space constraints and they're shockingly solid because they're narrow

Why won't Billys cut it? We have a bunch of Billy for DH's very large seforim collection.

The wider ones do sag a bit over time with heavy seforim (not nearly as much as cheaper ones but it is noticeable if you're looking) but the narrow ones are rock solid even with the heaviest volumes. We also have the height extenders.
