Just because a solid wood dining table has cracked doesn't automatically mean it's defective. Hearing that might feel a bit unfair. But I paid a lot for it, and it's already cracked! However, since solid wood is a natural material, it cracks the most during the 'first year' as it adapts to the indoor temperature and humidity. Surprisingly, after that, it adapts perfectly to your home and rarely cracks anymore. Furthermore, did you know that small cracks can even heal on their own once the weather warms up? Even if they don't heal, they can be repaired with a simple touch-up, so don't worry too much! Solid wood is like a sensitive yet charming person. It gets upset if you don't take care of it, but it lasts a long time if you take good care of it.
