Wood swells in the presence of moisture and contracts when its dry.  Over the course of a year you will witness a gradual fluctuation of environmental humidity, and your solid wood furniture will respond, imperceptibly swelling and contracting from season to season.  This is natural.  

 

Problems arise when wood is suddenly transferred from an overly damp environment to an overly dry one, or if it is allowed to dry out too much too quickly.  This sudden drying will cause solid wood to crack.  Be mindful of this.  Make sure solid wood furniture isn't kept too close to hot radiator or blasting hot air vents.  And if you sense that your home is getting too dry, you might consider protecting your solid wood furniture by introducing a humidifier to the environment.
