Some people don’t know how to take care of their furniture.  I think they just grew up with their parents taking care of things, and then bought metal and plastic stuff that doesn’t need the kind of care that wood does.  Take playpens, for example.  You can get an unvarnished, unpainted playpen, and all you have to do is rub some lemon oil onto it once a month or so if your climate is dry.  Alternately, you could rub some all natural furniture wax in, and just polish it occasionally.  The key is to find natural ingredients, and to make sure it’s not linseed oil, which is mildly toxic.
