My bedroom furniture has damaged tops,from putting water glasses on them
thru the years.
It looks like the tops are Flakeboard with a Photo finsh paper.( wood
design )
What can i do to make the tops look good ?

Nothing. If the moisture wrinkled the paper and swelled the flakeboard,
you're out of luck. Go find a table cloth whose design you like. Have a
tailor cut it to size and hem it. Spray with Scotch Guard to repel water, if
you can't stop yourself from getting it wet.

I was going to suggest kitchen cabinet "trim 'n stick" would probably
look as good as the original did...but decided I'd refrain. :)

I did use the "trim and stick" stuff on some shelves in a computer
desk that had gotten messed up with digs from screws from some
equipment. Sanded things smooth, and put the stuff on. Only trick was
getting the bubbles out... used a credit card. Razor knife for the
edges after it was in place. Probably better than what was on there in
the first place...

I was being only half-facetious... :)

The other alternative if the substrate isn't _too_ bad is laminate (as
in Formica-type, but wouldn't seem the pieces would be worth the
expense/trouble...
