Environment is the most critical thing. Just the basics of not too dry or too humid, no forced hot air, no direct sunlight, etc.

A coat of paste wax (Johnsons, Miniwax etc.) is helpful to protect the wood and bring a luster and it is reversible... No harm, no foul! It sometimes makes the finish really POP. Apply a thin layer of wax with a soft cloth, allow to set for 10 minutes then buff off with a microfiber towel. the wax can later be removed of needed with Naptha or other similar wax removal products.
