Besides overlaying a table with glass there are still other preventive measures for wood furniture.

• Cut felt or leather pads to fit under decorative accessories and lamps. Glue the pieces to the base.
• When dusting, polishing or just using a table, make it a habit to lift up the tabletop items without sliding them in order to prevent scratching the wood.
• Use UV-grade shades or blinds at windows to protect wood furnishings from strong sunlight and heat. You can also close curtains and draperies during the brightest hours of the day to prevent wood from fading and drying out.
• Locate wood furniture away from radiators and heat vents that can dry it and cause cracks.
• Store unused furniture in a location that is dry and slightly cool, away from humidity and heat. Attics and garages are poor storage places that can encourage mildew, mold, cracks, warping and destroy inlays and veneers.
