Wood tables naturally expand and contract with changes in humidity, which can lead to gaps, warping, or cracking. To prevent these issues, Jake’s Amish Furniture recommends maintaining a consistent indoor humidity level between 50% and 60%. Sudden fluctuations in humidity can cause stress on the wood, leading to long-term damage.
Use a cool air moisturizer during dry months and a dehumidifier or air conditioner during humid seasons to balance moisture levels. Avoid placing wood tables near heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents, as well as direct sunlight, which can cause the wood to dry out unevenly. Table mats and coasters should be used to protect surfaces from heat and moisture.
Promptly wipe up spills and avoid leaving damp or hot items directly on the wood. With proper environmental control and care, your Amish Crafted wood table will maintain its strength and beauty for many years.
