Go to the baby dept. in a big box or dept. store. Look for corner pads. You might want to shop online first since they are several widths and sizes. Best wishes ☺️
You might not like this suggestion but if the corners are very square and pointed, I'd sand them down until they are rounded, then use a little matching stain and poly to seal. Secondly, depending upon how much you value your table, you can make something decorative, but it would involve using tacks and/or hot glue. If you can sew (or have a good friend who does) you could accent the table edges with a "tube" filled with batting. You'll need: Cotton or poly/cotton fabric, THICK** batting, a very large safety pin, a wooden chopstick or a small piece of stiff poly tubing, sewing machine, thread, a small hammer and upholstery tacks of your choice. Select your fabric in a print or solid that you like, then cut a piece that's 12 inches longer than the measurement around your tabletop and twice the thickness of the top plus 1inch. You'll probably have to piece it for length, but that's not hard to do. Fold it in half lengthwise, right sides together and sew a 1/4 inch seam allowance down the entire length. Press it along the seam to flatten any wrinkling but avoid pressing it on the folded edge. Cut a long strip of the batting, 1/4" less wide than your table edge. For example, if your table edge is two inches thick, cut the batting 1 3/4" wide so it will slide into the tube. **If you can't get thick batting, use the thinner stuff-just cut it double the width and fold in half (DON'T press it). If you have any friends who make quilts, you might be able to get some nice long strips for free. To turn the tube, tie off one end with thread or string and using your chopstick or tubing, start pushing it inside itself. Patience is key; start off slowly and it will get easier as you go. Once turned, untie the end and press it again, seam down. Now securely attach the safey pin to your batting and CAREFULLY feed it through the pressed tube without stretching it. Remove the pin and fold at least 1/2" of the tube end inside itself so you have a nice neat edge. You will have to cut the batting back a little so it won't show. Starting at the middle of one edge of your table, begin using the upholstery tacks to attach it around the edge. I wouldn't put them too close together, it would look tacky (ha-ha). Just space them as you like. When you get to a corner, don't wrap the tube around tightly and use the glue gun so the batting isn't compressed. You could glue the whole thing instead of using tacks of course, that's up to you. When you get back to the beginning, cut the fabric to fit, leaving enough to fold into itself as before and lap over the other end. Hot glue or tack to hold it in place. The idea here is to accent your table with something pretty that YOU like and will "soften the blow" when you bump your hip on the corner. (Been there, done that, OUCH!) And if you are a sewer, or good friends with somebody who is, buy enough fabric to make matching placemats or napkins!
