Fix dents and chipped edges in plywood chair

I bought these gorgeous chairs second-hand, but am noticing three distinct issues:

  1. Long depressions in the seat (photo 2)
  2. Small chips on the edges (photo 3)
  3. Large chips on the edges (photo 4)

How do I fix these? For 1, I saw something about putting a wet cloth on and steaming, but I’m worried that would go poorly because the surface is varnished? I'm also not sure how sanding would go, given it's plywood (see photo 5 for photo of layers).

Also totally okay if the answer is: this is not fixable! Figured I would ask.
