We have friends who brought a bunch of furniture that belonged to parents and then they inherited. In other words, this stuff was kind of 1930's-1940's antiques..or better yet..vintage. It all had sentimental value for them. However, after arriving here...everything started absorbing the moisture in the air. None of the drawers or doors are closing...and have not closed for the last 2 years. Yes, they do live near the ocean...but I believe this may happen anywhere. They came from a much drier climate...and now they cannot close their underwear drawers....think about it!!
