How can I repair these dents my Ikea couch has been making in my hardwood floor?
-
I found a video where they put small holes in the varnish with a knife, then let it sit wet for a couple of hours, then steam it through a towel, and it worked pretty well on a test dent!

I lol'ed

The differences between dents and craters is that dents merely compress the wood, without damaging the fibers, while craters break and destroy fibers. Dents can be repairing by expanding the wood, but craters aren't fixable.

Depending on the state you live in
Or country...

And give you something to believe

Agreed, if linoleum is in fact what was meant I have no issue with it. But even in my own home as a young lad, salesman used "linoleum" repeatedly and they rolled out a huge stinking sheet of vinyl in my kitchen.
I'll never forget or forgive how horrible it wound up being.

Hahah when I first read this i thought you meant leaving jt alone fixed it.
I was surprised

I’ve found a landlord will either keep all the deposit no matter what. Or give it all back. No point going above and beyond just giving the place a good clean.
If you want to go legal make sure you take pictures of everything before you leave. In court you could argue this floor damage is normal wear and tear.

Fill it with resin /s

I do love how op put a piece of paper under the wheel to prevent further damnge. Class solution! Unfortunately I have zero handy man skills for any good advice.

Real smart idea idk how you're gonna know where the coach goes if you remove the slots.

Not here. Vinyl is an upsell.

Or county, city, municipality of any size really.

Others have mentioned the sanding method, but thats a common builder grade floor. Replacement boards are always a way, but I would leave it to the landlord. Get a price quote so youre armed with that if they try to charge you for refinishing the whole floor.
This is a rental, not a historic restored mansion.

Can we see?

I will post an update once I got around to doing more, I got sick :')
