Winter months are characterized by dryness. Just like your skin starts to dry up, the wooden furniture too starts drying up. This opens up the surface of the furniture making cracks in them. Once your furniture start cracking, it is quite possible that drops of water seep into the cracks and at night them freeze. This increases the width and depth of the crack. The cracks widen up more in cases where there is high temperature fluctuation happening throughout the day.
