A heavy (and sharp) object fell on our parquet floor, leaving a fairly large dent. What is the best way to fill this and generally make it invisible?
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.

Google for "damp paper and iron" - seem to recall damp heat can help with wood dents. What's the finish?
A mat or an umbrella stand.

Wet paper, iron.

Cover it with carpet.
The wood tends to char when your pour the iron.

Dent will be gone...
I think that steaming works best on shallow, rounded dents while the OP mentioned a sharp object.

yes. plastic wood is not the worst thing - Ive used a darkish one. Or get a bit of near match oak and fettle it in.
Cut the bit out with a multi tool and replace it.
