I never recommended black shelving, he ask for pictures and they were provided. But I also have a good hvac system and probably have to dust once a year. I also had a white Billy bookshelve prior to moving and I can say it shows dust also, may not be as bad if you had black and had a dusty house, but if you want white or oak to hide dust you’ll eventually see it on white.

Black shelving shows dust like mad, can confirm. But if you don't care, it's fine. I don't care. It works for me. |

Anything black obviously shows dust, mud, dirt etc. I’m just saying if you have a dusty house I guess, i definitely wouldn’t get one. It takes about a year or so for me to notice dust on the ones I have. But white also shows dust |

Never have a black car or a white car, unless you don't mind having a car that looks dirty. Or, if you live here, that spends the better part of spring and fall looking like an entire field of flowers sneezed on it simultaniously. (Don't worry, you will also be sneezing, as will everyone around you. It's community bonding time) |

I have about 35 black shelves..I also run a small amazon purchased air purifier in my toy room. There's dust but its not that bad. I dust about once a year. A lot of it depends on your flooring, pets, HVAC system and how old your house is.

Im in the midst of cleaning and re-organizing so excuse the clutter. The doors help prevent a lot of dust, but some still gets in. I dust and reorganize nrw figs in once a year (now). I also use compressed air for anything not behind doors about once a month. I also made my own risers out of foam board and hot glue to fit each shelf.   |

I took that pic over a year ago I think. I’ve added risers since then. But the Billy Bookshleves are the best looking shelves I’ve found for displaying |

i didn't realise how well the colours can pop off against the black shelving units. Looks great for golden era collections.

Were they painted black ot can u buy black stryofoam? I just bought black foam board, a hot glue gun, and an exacto knife. Did some measuring and went to town. I find black makes the colors pop more and matches the shelves.    |
