As a temporary fix you can diminish the scratches with a refinishing stick or a magic marker close to the color of the table´s finish. Rub the marker on the scratched areas, blend with a damp cloth and wax. To further cancel those tell-tale sighns of use and age, try a simple cover-up. Wonderful trays of metal or wicker are available in a variety of sizes at shopper-friendly prices. They not only serve a a cover-up, but are per feet for transporting beverages and snacks. Who knows, you might keep your used table after all-my sister did.
