How to a deep scratch out of the top of a black coffee table

Question

The coffee table is from Wayfair and its a plain black lift top style, unfortunately now with a rather large curling deep scratch

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Do you know what material the table consists of?

Z · Answer

It would be best to see the actual picture of the scratch, with angles showing its depth, as the style has nothing to do with the repair of a deep scratch. 
 The two ways I use fill scratches and nails holes are tinted wood putty, or wood fill sticks. Without seeing your problem, I'm not sure either will work, so they just possibilities.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Ok I found this website perhaps will help you. www.how.com/how to repair laminate furniture.

Z · Answer

The furniture repair sticks would still work on laminate, but if it's solid black and not wood grained it will be harder to completely hide the repair.

Carol Day · Answer

fill it with wood putty, and cover it with a black marker

If all else fails, use a white wax pencil and draw a design on the top that incorporates the scratch, then etch the design into the top. Turn a lemon into lemonade. Probably won't be the last scratch to appear on the table.

I know this is all about DIY, but sometimes a professional is the way to go.

My friend spilled fingernail polish remover onto her mother's brand new table. She called a furniture repair person who came out to the house and fixed it in ten minutes. I have no idea what he used, but I wish I'd known this years ago. If they can fix fingernail polish remover, I'm sure they can take care of scratches.

(I did this same thing as a child on my mother's brand new - antique - dressing table/vanity. I'm still scarred 50 years later!)
