Before I started blogging, I remember drooling over all the rustic, funky, and beautiful pallet sofas and coffee tables people made, and feeling this burning desire to make them one day!
Now as we get closer to our big move, I can almost see some sort of pallet furniture in our future home!
Today I want to share with you some of the easiest pallet sofas and coffee tables that one can make in just an afternoon! Not to mention they are so stylish and gorgeous!
If you are new to building with pallets, here’s a helpful guide on where to find and how to select pallets, plus lots of tips on how to work with them!
And THIS tool above: a Duckbill deck wrecker, is our favorite for taking apart pallets!
If you want to stain pallet wood, these home-made wood stains are super easy to make, long lasting, and low cost!
Let’s start with the easiest pallet sofas.
1 . The five pallet sofa.
Take four of five pallets. Cut the side panels. Sand the wood. Use nails and / or wood screws to attach the side and back panels to the stacked seats.
Add a few colorful pillows. Now you have a sofa! ( Source: 1001 Pallets)
2 & 3 . Two-pallet coffee tables.
Each of the coffee tables take two pallets to make.
The first pallet coffee table uses four 4″ casters like these ones.
The second table uses four 2x4s on each corner, and a lovely coat of teal blue paint. (Sources: 2 | 3 )
4 & 5 . Pallet sofas on wheels.
Both sofas use two pallets as base. I just LOVE that old door in the one above!
The one below uses galvanized pipes and flange on both sides to hold the pillows in.

6 & 7 . Pallet coffee tables with different heights.
Before you run out to buy wood stains, try these recipes for home-made wood stains which are all natural and very effective!
The pallet coffee table above is lovely, using only one pallet and four really cute red casters.
The other also has casters, with the added height from a cut pallet. ( Sources: 6 | 7 )
8. Nine-Pallet sofa.
Feeling ambitious? This sofa found on 1001 Pallets has a beautiful finished look.
OK, this is the only one in the group that may take a very long afternoon to build!
9. Pallet coffee table with drawers.
Don’t you love the natural variations and those stamps on the pallet wood? (Source: 9)
10. Three-Pallet Sofa.
Pallets from Europe are built differently than those from United States. Remember to modify your designs accordingly!
The back and seats are joined together with L-shaped Bracket Fasteners. ( The tutorial is in German, use Google translate. )
Talking about those pallet stamps, if you are totally in love with them, you would love this easy way to transfer stamps and images to wood with only wax paper and water!
11 & 12. Pallet sofa variations.
My friend Donna at Funky Junk Interiors never fails to amaze me with her creativity and style: just look at her pallet sofa!
This nicely designed white sofa is from 1001 Pallets , a pallet DIY community featuring so many great ideas you can browse for days!
I will end today’s post with one of our favorite pallet projects: how we “remodeled” a generic rental patio into a much-loved outdoor room, with pallets!
Happy pallet-ing ( yes that is a word among pallet lovers )!
