DIY PALLET CLASSIC COFFEE TABLE

Along with the bookshelves, my fiance (now wife) and I made a coffee table for her apartment.  We were working with some not so clean pallets at the time, and so we were kind of picky about which pallet to use.  The pallet we ended up using was nice and clean,  lighter in color and had a lot of fuzzy wood on the surface.  We chopped the ends off to make it the perfect width.  We used one of the boards that we cut off to fill in the two gaps left on the top.  For the legs we cut the supporting pieces that had been already cut off into shorter pieces to give us the height we wanted.  We did end up using supporting brackets for the legs, and in the future I think I will find a better way to do the legs with just the pallet itself.  However, the final look with the legs is pretty nice.  I did have to sand it down for a long long time to get it smooth.  It was worth it though, and our coffee table is still in our living room looking good!
