Pallet Coffee Table
I had some left over pallets that I needed to do something with. My wife had found a picture on pinterest of a pallet table and I figured I could build it in under one hour. I used watered down white paint to white wash the pallets. I added them together using 3 inch wood screws and then added caster wheels to the bottom for easy moving for my daughter's impromptu dance parties. See more.
What you need
- Pallets
- Paint
- 2 in screws
- Caster wheels

- circular saw
- sander
Step by step
Step 1
Cut the pallets into equal sections, or just use two small pallets
Step 2
Paint the pallets.
Step 3
Stack the pallets on top of each other and screw the pallets together. Screws can show and give this a more rustic look.
Step 4
Add caster wheels to the bottom. That's it. Bring it in and you have a great easy to make coffee table.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
