I have a bedroom set I still like but over the years the top surfaces have become really scratched. Any advice on sprucing up? I really dont want to redo whole pieces. They are honey oak. Thanks!

Here is what I would do first. Wash well with Murphy's Oil Soap. Then if you want to fill in color on the scratches you can use nut meat or furniture and floor crayons / pens. Then polish with Old English products. I bet you will be surprised on how nice it looks again.
Since you don't wan to sand and redo the oak, try purchasing a bottle of lemon oil and apply it to a moist cloth, then rub all over the oak. You'll be surprised how much better it will look. Don't leave too much on the surface, but you can let some of the lemon oil soak in and then lightly rub the piece with a soft dry cloth. Do this once in a while to renew the look.
Check out old English scratch cover in the light formula. Test it first but it does an amazing job hiding scratches.
you can buy Old English scratch cover in either light or dark colors it works great
Thank you!
