Quick answer: Dust with a dry cloth, wipe spills right away, keep the piece away from heat vents and strong sun, and refresh an oil finish once or twice a year. Solid wood expands and contracts with humidity, so small seasonal changes are normal; keep indoor humidity around 35–55%.
Tables

Consoles

Shelves
Spread heavy books evenly along a wood shelf.
Seasons
Winter heating dries wood; a humidifier helps in northern climates.
