Still haven't figured out how to edit previous posts, so sorry for double-posting.

Also, Wes, the redwood thing is new to me. Clear me up on this?

These are a couple of people who said that thoroughly sealing the wood would probably keep it safe. I know I sound stubborn, and I must sound like I just want confirmation of what I already want to do, but I've put a lot of planning and money into making this closet work, so that I'm looking for ways to really make it work. I have nothing against PVC/melamine enclosures, though, and if it's too risky I'll defer to your advice and get one.
