Can cold garage harm a kitchen being stored before fitting?

Question

I have been given a second hand kitchen but really nice and in mint condition. I am looking around for someone to fit it in the Stockport/ Manchester area if anyone can recommend a fitter? The main thing though is I've been told the cold concrete floor of the garage it is stored in could damage it? I would not think it could get damp for just a few weeks, but ask on here just in case there is some substance to this advice? It is in a waterproof locked garages but simply a cold place? I guess it will be OK for now?

Views appreciated. Cheers Colin

It should be OK provided the floor is not damp, although I can't imagine it's going to be any damper than a kitchen floor

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Clot" saying something like:

Eternal-september had a brain fart just there. Occasionally a post seems to not go, but it has, and the sender sends it again.

Allow air to circulate under it. Get it off the floor.
