The shorter Billy shelves we have for our DVDs are grossly insufficient for the growing collection, so we went over to IKEA today and bought 2 tall Billy shelves with 4 extra planks, all for $198.00.
This was the condition before:

And this is the new:

The whole family helped out (except for Grace, who is at work the whole of today).

1. Joseph cleared the toys from the area.
2. YowCH had to transfer the light switch about 4 inches to the right to be outside the shelf.
3. Esther helped move the shelf into place, note the good fit of the cut-outs for the wall power point and the switch cable.
4. David helped loading up the planks.
As a matter of fact, the assembly was mostly done by the children, YowCH provided guidance and strength. All detailed works are by Esther and David, and Joseph helped bring the tools, parts and gave support.

A final picture to show the cut-outs for the power point and light switch.
