    Re: wood

    birch or oak. but plywood rack tend to have issues over time. so melamine would be your best choice

    uh oh, here goes the debate...

    Namely Cedar and hard woods are toxic.
    Aspen and Cyprus are safe, but according to many experienced keepers kiln dried pine is safe. Even still, I don't like the idea of risking it.

    Melamine is your best bet, but any wood is fine as long as it's sealed and finished properly. Your biggest concern is where the open space is against the top of the bin. As long as that is sealed and finished properly it'll be fine.
