How do bookcases perform in high-humidity environments?

Standard laminate bookcases with particle-board substrates can swell and delaminate if exposed to sustained relative humidity above 70%. For high-humidity environments (basements, areas near water features), specify moisture-resistant MDF substrate, sealed bottom panels, and PVC laminate wrapping. Steel shelving is preferable in extreme humidity conditions. OfficeFurniture2go.com can recommend humidity-resistant storage options — call 1-800-460-0858.
