I need help with this one. Over the weekend I was helping my Father in Law carry in some boxes. I asked him where he wanted me to put it. He told me to put it on the dining room table, so I did. I was very careful to set it and not slide it. Later the Mother in Law came in and asked who put the box on the table. I told her that I had, and thankfully my F.I.L. spoke up and told her that he had told me to. She read him the riot act and told him to move it. He went over and yep you guessed it, slid to box off of the $6000.00 Henkel Harris table. As it turned out there were some staples in the bottom of the box and it scratched the finish on the table. Well now I feel like cr@p, even though I did what I was told. There are seven or eight scratches in the finish only, they are not down into the wood. I am not sure what the finish is, it is a matte finish. I am not sure if it is shellac, or some other finish. If you look at the finish in the ligh, you can see very fine scratches in the finishh with the grain, I am guessing that the finish was wet sanded after it was applied. Does anyone happen to know what Henkel Harris used for finishing, and have any suggestions on how to fix this. I was thinking maybe wet sand and then wax/buff, but I am afraid that this would mess up the matte finish. I know that they could send it back to Henkel Harris for repair, but that would be very costly. Any suggestions would be appreciated
