Desiring something super unique, this 2 full pallet chair was whipped up in a couple of hours, and is PERFECT for the non builder types!

I just desired something you couldn’t find in a big box store. So I gathered up two like minded pallets, some reclaimed wood, and got to work.

So here’s a little pallet wood and burlap coffee bean sack pillow eye candy!

Burlap coffee bean sacks are the perfect no sew upholstery. They act as giant pillow cases that allow for large pillows to just slip inside. For the sitting area, I just loosely tucked them in place.

The reason for the cheater upholstery is in PART 2 HERE.

See how the large pillows were done HERE.

You can find coffee bean sacks at local coffee roasters in your area, or check places like ebay.

Taking advantage of all the natural crate markings on the wood, I allowed them to become the artwork. Pretty funky, huh? I vote to celebrate that it IS pallet wood.

Old sign for chair arm / A cool pallet wood chair anyone can make in a couple of hours - part 1 via FunkyJunkInteriors.net — Both arms are different which I love. I used a sign I had created on a board and just cut to size.

This leg got a little extra detail with an antique wooden level. It’s the tiniest little details that you fall for.

And yeah, the board cracked because I didn’t predrill. More on that in Part 2.

Pallet back for chair / A cool pallet wood chair anyone can make in a couple of hours - part 1 via FunkyJunkInteriors.net

Not wishing to obstruct the outdoor mountain view behind the chair, a pallet the same height as the railing was chosen as the backer.

If one didn’t love the look of a pallet backing, you could always build a little gate look which I nearly did, but decided no. This round, it was about grouping up 2 pallets intact. The oversized pillows cover it anyway!
