Can chip board chemicals damage our statues and figure's?

[Hidden Jitsu]

I heard somewhere that the bonding and chemical solutions that
bind the chip board on the Besta and Deltof and pretty much everything in IKEA can eventually damage out prized statues and figures.
As apparently the wood gives of chemicals.

Now is this just a load of BS or is it fact?
Has anybody actually had this in real life?

Thanks for your time

Generally once something has cured it will not outgas again unless subjected to heat and or water. Of course if the product was made incorrectly or cheaply(search for articles on Chinese drywall) it could outgas at any time. Depending on the gas released it could affect the statue but is more likely to affect you.

So basically, detolfs should be safe?

Any IKEA cabinet will be safe. IKEA has been in business a long time and they're serious about product safety. Their particle board ("chip board" is something else entirely and not used for IKEA furniture) is completely safe and in many cases is now manufactured locally - in other words in the country of sale or one right next to it. This is done to save on what's turned out in recent years to be one of the biggest expenses, shipping. All IKEA kitchen cabinets are made of the very same particle board - if any off-gassing or other chemical separation were to occur and damage collectibles, it would much sooner get into your food and onto your utensils and plates and into your body.

I've been using IKEA furniture of one sort or another to store all manner of things my entire life. As far as particle board products go, IKEA are usually the best engineered and some of the longest lasting.

What was heard by the OP is total and complete hogwash (to put it mildly).

Here's just one source of proof in case that kind of thing is more important to you than anecdotal evidence (it is to me ): https://www.thenaturalstep.org/en/usa/ikea
