I keep my acoustics on stands for much the same reasons as Stefan. I don't live in an extreme climate of any sorts. Asked a luthier friend many years ago whether to keep them in their cases with a humidifier... "No reason to, woods fare good being able to breathe ...". Of course I don't open the window wide open in the winter time and keep them away from the outer walls.
No problems due to humidity (or lack of it) or temperature the last 40 years ...
