Haha ty

For the record, that first link was for ones that are only 11" deep, there are other Billys for $20 that are 15 3/8" ... much better value and hold a lot more weight!

I have Billy's.  Cheap and functional.  As long as you don't fill up the entire bookshelf (leave the middle empty or put a picture frame in the middle so it won't sag) then they're fine. 
The bottom shelf can be fully loaded of course.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I have had very good experience with this: http://www.wayfair.com/Concepts-in-Wood-Double-Wide-84-Bookcase-MI4884-LSWR1004.html

Sturdier and IMO better looking than the Ikea and a fraction of the cost of a solid hardwood one. My three sets have survived a few moves so far and still look great. I especially like the fact that the shelves are 24 inches wide as opposed to the standard 36. They'll hold your chosson shas/shulchan aruch without difficulty. Also, most of my sets fill up the rows to the book.

Surprised no one mentioned the sauder 5 shelf staples unit I've had them for five yrs no sagging. Prob is that the middle shelf can't be moved, other than that it's a great product usually it's $149 but goes on sale for 119-100 all the time.

I have something similar to that in my office and it's good, but I wouldn't put the heavier seforim on it.
