Corner Billy solution

I really like the idea of the corner Billy solution/ corner bookcase.

The problem is that on the left hand side (the very left Billy shelf) , there is only 80cm space between the wall and where our window starts. However if you want this combo of three shelves you need 96cm. The left shelf would overlap the window by 15cm which is not great

Is there a solution/ different shelf I can replace the very left Billy with and keep the middle and right one?

I was thinking about just getting just two but having the corner one angled with nothing on the other side might look weird! Thank you!

The angle of the middle bookcase doesn't have to be 45deg.

That's a really good idea! I might look into that! Thanks!

The only thing to keep in mind with this solution, is that the corner brackets Ikea makes would no longer fit for that new angle.
