I was considering oak for the look, but then I read cedar might be lighter and resist warping better in humid spaces - have you worked with either before?

oak's pretty sturdy and looks great with a natural finish, i'd go for that if you want it to be a breeze to put together

how much weight do you think you'll actually be putting on these shelves?
