They are made from wood. The tables have all expanded and now can't fit under one another. What can I do?

Since they expanded, I would say you have a high humidity problem. I would let them sit for a couple of weeks to see if they contract back to original size. They may also crack when this happens. Many people buy wood furniture overseas and when they get it to their homeland, this is what they find.

The expansion of wood is largely due to the moisture content of the wood. Perhaps in the shipping they were exposed to higher humidity (likely on a ship.) This would make them temporarily expand. If the humidity in Singapore isn't too high, and it was just the crossing that caused the high humidity, they will shrink back down after a bit. If it is Sinapore's high humidity, you can't practically due anything to fix it. You could buy a dehumidifier for your house, but that seems a bit extreme.
