One question about the wallpaper, though--were the bookshelves narrow enough for one roll width of paper, or did you need to add a little extra paper on the sides? Thanks!

But what a pain to do it now that they're finished and in place and filled. Agh. I have a question about those cardboard backs. On my old Billy the back was in two solid sheets, one for the bottom half and one for the top. For the new ones we bought, the backings were the full length but were tri-folded. Now that they're in place you can still see where the folds were, and it makes them look way cheaper (argh). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I have tried to fill the shelves efficiently enough to cover the backing but there are some shelves where I just can't.
