Hello everyone, I have an issue with my IKEA Billy shelves: they are located in a room with relatively high humidity, and I’m concerned that the shelves might sustain damage from moisture over time. I’m particularly interested in whether there is a simple way to effectively protect the Billy shelves from moisture without having to completely rebuild or treat them. Ideally, I’m looking for a practical solution that requires relatively little effort and cost but still provides long-term protection. Are there any experiences or proven tips in this forum for protecting Billy shelves from moisture damage?

I will also pay attention to the room air quality and use a small dehumidifier if necessary. Thank you very much for the constructive, practical suggestions! They really helped me a lot.
