Wood tables are naturally susceptible to movement caused by humidity changes. To prevent gaps or warping, maintain a consistent indoor humidity level between 40% and 45%. Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier or air conditioning in summer to stabilize the environment.
Avoid placing tables in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as these conditions can exacerbate movement. Regular cleaning and using coasters or placemats can protect the wood from additional damage. Proper humidity control and careful placement ensure your table maintains its shape and stability for years.
