To fix the problem, the table was painted grey, which made the grooves noticeable even more!

To save this DIY disaster, 3 rectangles were cut out of the top of the table, including a lip wide enough to fit nailheads in.

Nailheads were ordered from Ebay and every fifth nailhead was hammered in to keep it straight.
