Hello everyone, I have a Billy bookcase from IKEA that has swollen significantly at the bottom edges due to moisture. The surface is warped, and the stability is no longer fully reliable. My question is: Is it worth repairing the swollen parts with appropriate products, or would a complete replacement of the bookcase be more reasonable and possibly even more cost-effective in this situation? I look forward to your assessments, experiences, and tips on the best way to proceed.
Quick update: I removed the lower shelves and replaced them with suitable MDF boards. The side edges were sanded, filled, and primed. The shelf is now located in a drier area, and I applied a silicone sealant to the wall. The stability is significantly better. Thanks to everyone who provided tips. If there is interest, I can share the results again after the drying period is complete.
