We are in HPP in the lesser-rain area (the "desert" of HPP), but we have a lot of foliage around the house, so the leather definitely gets mold. Even my jalousie windows get mold.
KathyH, we brought an antique bureau that has half-hewn veneer and a tri-mirror. After a month here, the center of the tri-mirror warped so much, it cracked the glass. took me a few years to find someone who was willing to cut a new piece of plywood and get the glass cut for me and now I have it back. That mirror back - like 1/2"-3/4" thick - warped like the shape of a parenthesis. - that's the closest arc I can think of! I may have warped on the way across the sea, who knows. I also had 2 waterfall nightstands that would no longer open they had swollen so much. I had to put them in a room with a dehumidifier for days so that wood would come back down so I could open the doors and drawers and sand. Now no stick.
