Bookshelf- with door or without?

2 years ago

Hi everyone - have a pretty simple question. I bought a dark blue desk for my home office. Decided I wanted to get dark blue bookshelves as well. Surprisingly, Ikea has one now that is priced well and to be honest, good enough for what I need (the Billy bookshelf). But they have two versions - one w/ a glass front and one that is the traditional open. Curious what people think are the pros and cons. I'm thinking I'll get two of the same one just in case the colors are a little different. The one quesiton i have is if people have had issues with books decaying/ getting ruined faster if they are closed off. The two bookshelves are below.
