Protect against scratches : Always use coasters, placemats, or tablecloths when placing sharp or rough objects on wooden surfaces.
Avoid heat exposure : Keep furniture away from fireplaces, heaters, or vents. Repeated expansion and contraction due to temperature changes can cause cracks and surface warping.
Control humidity : Moisture can damage solid wood. Place furniture in spaces with regulated humidity and avoid outdoor use.
Prevent stains : Keep liquids such as ink, thinner, nail polish, and paint away from wood surfaces, as they can seep into pores and be nearly impossible to remove.
