melamine rack question

I built a couple already, i know how they work and all. I was wondering how long they last till they start warping and what not... and whats the average lifespan for racks made out of this material? Mine have no lids and their tight fitted.

i think if you treat it good and dont really bang it to hard than it should last longer than your snakes..... goodluck i prefer using plywood but it just dont look as nice:D

if their taken care of, built correctly for the use, 50-100 years? lol really no reason for them to ever go bad unless the wood just naturally decays after a long time and I've never herd of that.

problems i've herd with them are sagging, which would mean they were not properly supported/built and moisture problems, which their eigher not sealed, or mistreated.
