They look the same, but the actual construction grade on the new Billys is awful. I bought a bookcase two years ago and the wood veneer has already chipped off, revealing the cardboard inside. Even the more expensive stuff isn't immune - I purchased a Malm at the same time and the drawers already have the bottoms gone and the metal frame parts have already bent.
