I know little of wood, how can I repair this? It happened from moving a couch and doing it incorrectly. It looks mostly cosmetic, I'm hoping I can smooth it over and nothing bad will come of it.
if the wood is still there, just compressed, then steam will make it pop up good as new. you get a wet rag, place it over the damaged area and hit the rag with a very hot iron. works like magic.
if the wood is gone, it has to be replaced by liquid wood, sanded flat, and re-varnished.

smallest can of similar brown stain from the shop
wipe it on with a rag or paper towel let sit wipe off
repeat until marks are blended

not compressed unfortunately, scraped off.
sounds like liquid wood will be my solution

Al ittle bit of sanding, and a coat of Old English

Rub a walnut or peanut on it. It will darken it enough you won't notice/care.
