Wood is a natural material and has certain characteristics. It will expand and contract with heat and to a certain degree with humidity. Do not place any piece in direct sunlight or beside a heat source such as a radiator or fire as this will cause shrinkage of the wood usually to the detriment of the piece. In general, protect from extremes of heat and humidity.
