How to get rid of these little crawlies?

We suddenly found these little crawlies around a wooden cabinet we got from Nitori. This is the first time we have seen them. I was wondering if anybody knows how to get rid of them permanently. Thank you so much!

    They look a little like wood mites...they're typically as a result of damp wood (maybe a post-summer humidity issue?) Apparently boric acid is a natural way of trying to deal with them, which I've also used for ants with some success. I don't think I can attach an image to my answer, but the brand we used was in a red and white box.

    Ooh, they look pesky. Sorry, I am not familiar with these particular creepy crawlies. I hope you got rid of them.
