| Wood is a natural living product, therefore, wood furniture will "breathe" in response to changes in the atmosphere. Rapid or extreme fluctuation in temperature, humidity or direct sunlight may cause cracking, splitting, and/or warping of the piece. The ideal condition for furniture is a stable atmosphere with fluctuations ranging between: a relative humidity of 40 - 70% ; a temperature of 15 - 25 degree (Centigrade) . Operating a humidifier or placing a glass of water inside or underneath the furniture will help to maintain the right level of humidity. Wood as a plant contains water in its structure.
