DIY Pallet Furniture Set

[Shankapotomus]

This is definitely on my "things I want to do" list. Every small business is trying to get rid of pallets around where I live. Probably start a pallet furniture store.

"Designs made from pallets are a staple of TreeHugger; they are cheap and ubiquitous. British designer Sarah Williams shows how she made this lovely table and four chairs from pallets, every step of the way. I like the table design with the space under the glass. I like the view too;..."

1. Kinda cool

but I just don't know if I would want to use pallets. There is the point of you just never know where they have been or what has been on them (in some cases for extended periods). Not sure if I would want a table made with pallets that had drums of chemicals on them.

Still the table is a nifty concept.

6. I think that you could avoid pallets used to ship scary stuff

just by where you get them. I am thinking of the pallets at our Aldi's grocery store as more than likely safe.

3. The view comes with anything

it's photoshopped.

" I like the view too; too bad it's photoshop."

5. If you can make furniture like that,

I think that would be a good thing to get into. That table is really nice.....and I like the chairs too.

8. I'm interested in raw rustic, DIY design

with limited to no finishing. Though I like the material used, I would not design my table the same. I would prefer it port-ably light with a minimalist aspect to it. I'd probably throw some cushions on the chairs, though. Now that I think of it, I don't even know if I'd want table and chairs, actually. I'd prefer to just sit outside on a flat rock.

7. thanks for posting the links. interesting and looks sturdy. I would put some slats up the backs of

the chairs though ... and maybe put two together and make a rectangular table

10. Nice find!

Bookmarking for other ideas.

I would link to a site where someone is chronicling building a tiny pallet house but they haven't updated in a year or two.
