ReStor-It Furniture Touch-Up Kit works very well to cover minor scratches from most wooden furniture. We have a lot of wood, bookshelves, tables, and chairs that have taken cosmetic damage over time from just being in the same house as four fairly active people.

This kit include 3 "filler sticks" (Light, Medium, and Dark) to fill in deep gouges, and 5 "markers" (Light Oak, Dark Oak, Natural, Cherry, and Walnut) to color over smaller or filled scratches. This works much better than it should and once we started, we went looking for things to fix up.

Works very well and is easy to use! Highly Recommended!

Good product to touch-up hard wood. You can play with different markers to mix and create a flawless covering. I don't recommend to repairs veneers, covering looks fake. Kit comes with 5 markers, colors are enough to virtually match any wood color. Key is mix colors and press lightly marker over wood. You must to practice to do right job.

The previous reviewers were exactly right, you just need to get the hang of the wax and markers first. What I found to work best was really digging the wax (there are three different shades depending on the finish of your furniture) into the gouge to fill it completely. Then, before using the marker, I would wipe the excess wax around the gouge away with a cloth. The reason being because the marker really soaks into the wax so if you have excess that isn't in the gouge, the color of the wood were the wax is will change slightly. If you're careful to wipe away the excess wax first, and dab into the gouge with the marker (wiping as needed per the instructions) the results are fantastic. I had a couple of spots on the nightstand that I now have to consciously look for.

I am convinced that these markers got us our security deposit back on our all-wood apartment of 4 years. These things are amazing. It takes a little while to get into the groove with them and get them to work properly, but once you have the technique down, they are almost like magic. Wow.

I had cat claw scratches on my dark wood dresser. This product doesn't make them invisible, but the pens worked very well to make the scratch as dark as the original wood finish, so when you walk into the room everything looks great. The wax helped when a scratch was very deep.

This kit has everything you need for most repairs. A great full range of colors and solutions at a super low price each marker is $5 at Home Depot.

After experimenting i found the best way is to use different colors and follow the grain of the wood with the darker colors. Work in small sections and smudge with your finger as you work. I am going to see if going over the area with Minwax stain helps make it match better

If you use the wax filler, heat it so the wax becomes pliable.

Markers work reasonably well, but the filler sticks just didn't provide a satisfactory repair. Used this product on a Walnut floor.

I was hoping that this would help with some furniture and wood floor scratches. Shoe polish did a better job and was cheaper.
