Recycled Pallet Tables with Drawers.
Well the fashion of pallet wood furniture is getting more and more supporters, so I was commissioned to build a few. Some have a rustic look, others less – some with drawers, some with pockets, some with both – some with legs, other with casters. It’s all up to the customer’s needs, dimensions and preferences.
The color/finish and final look is always a subject of discussion with the customer, sometimes I even do a sample color/finish for them.
They were all build using EURO pallets 120 X 80 cm.
Here are a few examples of the ones I have build.
Thank you

That additional leggs set looks fantastic, as well as drawers. In our country is also popular at outdoor furniture.

Thanks Ivan !!!The legs were something I came up with as I did not like anything I see on the net.
Pallet furniture here are becoming popular also as indoor furniture, especially for young people.

They are all nice Stelliart, but I really like the ones where you filled in the gaps in the top with the darker wood. Those have a great look to them.

2 to 3 Pallets
I forgot to mention that according to the design you need 2 or 3 pallets to make one of the long ones

I really like the one with 2 drawers. You have taken it from PALLET wood to a furniture level. VERY NICE. The others are okay to…...my preference is the first one.
This is a very good example of what I try to say in my community…...It is WOOD. regardless of what is was used for after it come from the TREE !
Once again….VERY NICE WORK !

Nice pallet projects. Do you have a pallet buster to take the pallets apart?

Ohhhh Thank you tyvekboy
I will save that photo for sure :D !!!!!!!!
Actually I dont have one because I think those do not fit very well on EURO pallets which are the only ones I can get my hands on here or brake them… but I am not sure… if I am wrong I stand corrected.
Because I like to get the wood unspoiled I cut between the nails with my big jigsaw fit with a long metal cutting blade…

The first one looks good but overall not my style but the younger generation is all crazy about this style .
You did a fine job with the design by adding legs and drawers .
My only concern is that they are used pallets and I often wonder what has been transported on them and are they contaminated .

Thank you kiefer !!!
As you said is the style of the younger.
About contamination issues … I always treat the pallets first by washing them good, after they dry I tread them with wood protective anti-fungous, anti-woodworm etc. liquid and then ofcourse is the finish over it. So I don’t know if after this contamination will still be an issue.
If I am wrong then please enlighten me, I’m always open to listen and learn !!!

Nice display of your work Stelios! Y
ou better not tell or show those pallet makers what you are doing with their wood or they may start charging you for it. I see that Klaus had some concerns about contamination and I to was wondering about that issue. But I would think you have done a good job putting that issue to rest hopefully.
Nice design’s by the way!

Thank you Tony !!!
Many times we can get them for free but not always there’s a price up to 4 Euro per pallet if you need to buy them.
