The link works fine for me. If the shed is _dry_ I wouldn't expect
any problems. Stored in the shed it likely sees less moisture change
than stored in a heated house, but if it's getting wet all bets are
off.

John thanks. the roof does not leak, but the concrete floor gets wet.
obviously i would stand the table on bricks off the wet floor, but i guess
the humidity is going sky high. does that count as wet, in this instance?

Sort of. How does the water get on the floor--does it seep up from
undereath or is it coming in from somewhere else? If it's seeping
throught the floor it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's coming in
from somewhere else you need to find and fix the leak.

I would be concerned about storing any kind of furniture in a building
that damp. If the floor is wet enough to notice, then the water could
easily wick up through whatever you use to raise your furniture up. You
might get by with plastic spacers, but I'd still worry about the
humidity in the air.
That looks like a nice drop-leaf table. It probably has some veneer on
it, and I've seen a lot of veneer delaminate in moist environments.
