This pallet organizer will be very popular with moms. This low lying and perfectly crafted organizer shelf are perfect inside a kid’s playroom to be filled with storybooks or toys. It’s not just your regular shelf because it has a slat in front that prevents anything inside from falling out.
This shelf is perfectly safe for children to be around as they may grab a book from behind and the one in front won’t fall on them. Your wooden pallet would require a lot more work if you’re wanting to sell your woodwork to anyone with kids. To be safe, you should always use wooden pallets that you are sure are not treated with chemicals.
Next, as they are used in another industry they are not as polished as the wood sold for actual furniture making. You should also try to make sure that you have sanded and/or planed every surface and corner of your wood. As the disassembly might cause for rough surfaces and splinters. You might want to finish by priming and painting it, having a smooth and elegant product at the end.
12) Center Table

This DIY center table is obviously a wooden pallet, but its elegance can pass off as a high-end high-fashion center table. This wooden pallet is the same as any regular type of wooden pallet. Although you can use a wooden pallet that has a bottom and just disassemble the bottom planks and slats.
This would require sanding before varnishing or painting. You can also try to add a flat board under to have some storage space. But this will definitely sell, all from a free and used wooden pallet.

This pallet sofa looks very posh and elegant that you might not believe that it is from a used wooden pallet. You will need one or two wooden pallets for this project. Both cut in half or in any size and dimension you would like. Once done, start on the seat by adding a backrest to it.

This corner lounge is perfect for kids and adults alike. This corner lounge project would need at least three to four pallets. Disassemble two and use the stringers and/or slats or planks as the corner fence and use the other wooden pallets as the seats.

16) Sofa Table
This antique looking sofa table is one of the easiest to DIY on our list. This requires just one wooden pallet. You have to disassemble your pallet though, so it would be better if you have or can borrow a reciprocating saw or a Sawzall (a tool that can be used to cut the nails of the wooden pallets and reduces so much time from pulling out planks from wooden pallets.)
Use the planks of the wooden pallets for all the parts of this sofa table. Nail two parallel planks to horizontal one In-between the two of them, this will serve as the stretcher support of the table, and the two parallel planks will serve as the legs.
Nail a horizontal board on top of the two legs either the same length as the distance of the two kinds of wood or longer. Once done, add some more security by adding an X wood at the back either with two more planks or two stringers. Smoothen surfaces by planning or sanding then prime and paint.
