So.... If the particle board is covered with an acrylic layer (Melamine or Formica) why would a spilled water bowl cause any issue when the moisture is on the covered surface of the wood?? Does this make a difference? No part of the actual wood is showing.

I don't know how it works. I just know from keeping melamine racks for several decades they sell..i don't know if just a "spilled" water bowl alone would cause swelling. probably any water bowl sitting in there day and night will suffice to make the wood swell. Combine that with any heat tope and you get high humididty. Especially if you see water doprlets forming obove the inside shelve.
