At Goodwill, I purchased for only $20, an Ethan  Allen head and foot board.  Both pieces are in decent shape, but have some minor scratches.  Need suggestions for a product that will cover them.  I'm not that handy, please keep that in mind.  I just want the pieces to look OK.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes to the paint dept and get a small can of Minwax wood stain in the same color of the furniture.  The person working there can show you how to do it, but it's simple.  I use a small cloth and rub it on, let it set for a while, then buff.  It will cost less than $10.

@coffee drinker  That's an easy one!  Old English scratch cover oil available at Walmart for less then $5.  Works like a charm.  I've tried the light one, but had much better luck with the dark wood version.

Forgot to mention that you just rub it on with a rag, with no extra effort.

Most furniture stores have markers (they look just like a highlighter fat marker), they come in sets, and have several colors in each one. I've had a set for years, and they are wonderful for covering scratches and dings. 

I like that you can have a choice of shades, and I've even mixed them, one color on top of another to get just the right look. 

I have a different brand, but they are similar to this. I find this is easy to control and you can mark just where you want

I've used these on furniture, wood cabinets, wood floors, anything wood that needs a touch up.

I am another believer in Old English Scratch Cover in a bottle. 

Wet the cloth with the scratch cover and just rub it in.  I have used it for years and a bottle lasts for years.

This is available at most grocery stores and comes in two colors.  The darker one covers best.

This stuff is amazing and I use the dark one on all of my wood even if it is light. I just apply less and it really does blend and works like a charm.

I've used colored Sharpie markers!
