Quick answer: Keep indoor humidity around 35–55% year-round, keep wood away from heat vents and direct sun, wipe spills right away and re-oil or wax once or twice a year. Small seasonal movement is normal for solid wood and settles as the seasons change.
Why wood moves
Solid wood swells in humid summers and shrinks in dry winters; a round pedestal dining table may change slightly with the seasons.
Daily care
Dust with a dry cloth, use coasters and wipe spills quickly — especially on a floating bathroom vanity.
Seasonal care
Re-oil or wax a live-edge desk once or twice a year to keep the finish rich.
Placement
Keep a sculptural coffee table and other pieces away from heat vents and strong afternoon sun.
