Right down the middle where the runner was there is a dark area surrounded by the lighter color caused by the sun. Take a hike to the home improvement store and look for Howard's Restore A Finish in the wood tone of the table. I had to use the mahogany because it was the closest to the rosewood. Apply and leave it on for several days to let it fully soak into the wood. Then buff off the excess with a soft cloth (hubby's t-shirts work well). I had to do this several times before the color was fully restored. I now have a piece of glass that has UVB/UVA protection sitting on top of the entire 96" long table to protect it and have had the window tinted to protect the side & legs facing that window.<br><b>References : </b><br>30 years experience in interior design and should have known better.

You did not say whether your table had a gloss finish on it. I will assume that it does. I would try some automotive rubbing compound and rub that into the finish of the table in an inconspicuous spot like an edge. and see it that will do something. Or Jewellers roughe(which is even finer). That or sun the whole table to get that full body tan.<br><b>References : </b><br> That is a little fast for sun bleaching.

But if this table was just purchased it should not have done that so soon ,I would call the store and tell them about it perhaps they have some kind of warranty on it.<br><b>References : </b><br>Pledge You can apply some polish with a tint to it they sell Lemon Oil and they also sell the one that I am talking about .
