My cabinet does not move when you push on the side. Try contacting a cabinet maker and see if he would be interested in taking a look at it and doing some repairs. There is a ton of cedar in these cabinets so I think it would be worth it to have it reconditioned.

It might be a bit more helpful to try to put a few nails/tacks through any joints that have give. IT would help if you clamped it strait first.

IMO Cedar would be very expensive, and I personally think the caulk/glue would be a bit inefficient structurally. It would probably help with the seal, but I think thats directly related to too much give in the cabinet.

Agreed again...

Structurally, glue won't do a darn thing. Bracing coupled with glue, on the other hand, would likely work wonders.

Again, though, I'd try the active humidification before taking anything aprt.
