Quick answer: Keep indoor humidity around 35–55% with a humidifier during heating season, keep wood away from radiators, wood stoves and direct sun, wipe spills right away and wax or oil once or twice a year. Small seasonal movement is normal for solid wood.
Why wood moves
Solid wood shrinks in dry winter air and swells in humid summers; a live-edge coffee table may change slightly with the seasons.
Bathroom pieces
Wipe splashes quickly and run the fan to protect a floating bathroom vanity.
Seasonal care
Wax a console table once or twice a year to keep the finish rich.
Placement
Keep a desk with drawers and other pieces away from radiators and wood stoves.
