I’m thinking of doing similar but with two kitchen cabinet bases instead of the Billy bookcases but I’m scared of the whole thing falling over if someone (or two) lean on the bar top.

I just wondered how the shelves hold up under the weight of bottles. Did you permanently fix them to the shell, or just use the fixings that come with it?

In your case, because of the narrowness, it would probably need to be bolted down to the floor or possibly to another fixed unit to the side or possibly a wall. Every project has it's challenges but there are always solutions if you start thinking laterally.
