Friend, I don’t know about you but I’m tired of all those cookie-cutter tables…

So the other day I decided to make a change and switch mine with a rustic one,

And this is how it turned out:

Amazing, right!?

The sweet part is that it only takes a couple of hours to craft…

(if you’re slow 😁)

So if you think something like this would look great in your home, here’s exactly how to DIY:

First of all, let’s get the materials.

Materials Needed

• Pallets: Two should do the trick, preferably untreated and in good condition.

• Sanding Paper or Sander: To smooth out rough edges and surfaces.

• Saw: A basic hand saw or electric saw for any cutting.

• Screws and Drill: For assembling the pieces.

• Varnish or Wood Sealer: To protect and enhance the wood's natural beauty.

• Casters or Legs: To give your table height and mobility.

• Safety Gear: Gloves and goggles for protection.

Now that we’ve got everything we need, it’s time to put our cozy-looking coffee table together!

Step-by-Step Guide

Step #1 — Choose Your Pallets: Look for pallets that are in good shape and free from chemical treatments.

Step #2 — Clean and Sand: Give them a good scrub and sand down to remove splinters and rough patches.

Step #3 — Design Your Table: Plan out your design. Do you want a lower table or a higher one? Maybe add a shelf underneath for magazines?

Step #4 — Cut and Assemble: Cut the pallets to size if necessary and start assembling. Screw them together securely.

Step #5 — Add Legs or Casters: Fix legs or casters at the bottom for desired height and easy movement.

Oh, and don’t forget:

Once you’re done make sure to apply a thin layer of wood sealant to it, this way it will look like new for years!
