Repuposing Bookshelves for Kids Closet

Hello there! I am wanting to repurpose some bookshelves we've had for a few years by stacking them on top of each other for my kids closet. One of them is wider and taller than the other. My plan was to attach fence pickets to the back via glue and a nail gun. Would this sufficient in strengthening them or would it be best to use pressure treated lumber? I'm also planning on going around the backside of it with the same baseboard that we have going around the rooms, for more stability and to prevent spiders/rodents from potentially getting behind there. Any feedback would be appreciated! submitted by /u/haxelhimura [link] [comments]
