Is this likely to damage my motherboard?

As I was building my motherboard, I handled it with as much care as I could, but I ran into a problem and put the motherboard on a wooden table (I had done all previous work on the box it came in). I had to pull it back out of the case unexpectedly and had moved the box out of my reach. I was, very frustratingly, trying to adjust the fan on my D15 and, in the process, the motherboard was moving around on the wood table. It is a very smooth bamboo table, but I'm worried the movement (light sliding) could scratch it or damage it. What are the odds this would cause damage to the mobo?

Motherboards can handle pretty much actually! I dont think you damaged it as i accidentally did the same when i was building my pc. BUT i cant promisa anything as it is different for every motherboard.

Definitely not looking for a crystal ball answer, so no worries. You've definitely eased my mind a bit, which I appreciate. We will see when I turn it on (or don't lol).

I'm very new to PC's and also have legitimate OCD, so I can never be sure if what I am obsessively worrying about is rational haha. Thank you for the reassurance!
