Wait, ikea products would be good or bad in that case? What does adequate ventilation mean for a bookcase with doors?

So long as you move the books around occasionally this isn't likely to be a problem.
No way will IKEA ever tell you what their timber is. There are no tables saying what gets outgassed from different types of timber or composite anyway.

Regarding IKEA, I meant is it good or bad for books if the pine was not seasoned long?

You can't know. It seems like some kinds of pine still cause an issue after 100 years, but if you move the books around every few months you won't get a problem.

What's better, solid wood or engineered wood?
