    Fixing damaged wood door

    Have some damage on the door, frame, and trim of a few doors due to a wheelchair, what is the best way to fix these? I'm fairly competent with sanding, staining, and finishing wood, but have not dealt with wood that is already stained.

    IKEA cart

    For quite a while I used one of their red tables with black legs at the shop I work at. I put my tools on it and use it as a workbench, it held up really well. I could sit right in the middle of it with all of my tools on it and I weigh 135lbs. Only cost me $40.
