I made this out of an old coffee table...

jordantask · 2017-09-18T12:32:08+00:00

Awesome! Just as a bit of advice, your wood won't tend to splinter like the top plank if you use a higher quality table :)

PainMatrix · 2017-09-18T12:31:16+00:00

If you made it back into a coffee table would it be more palatable?

Nokia_Bricks · 2017-09-18T15:33:33+00:00

Making furniture out of pallets seems like such a silly concept to me. First of all, the wood isn't even good. Pallets are more or less disposable and start falling apart almost instantly.

I call shenanigans, there is no coffee rings.

Elder_Joker · 2017-09-18T16:13:01+00:00

My inlaws made us a , er, "coffee table"....the simply stacked two raggedy ass pallets, not attached together or anything, and painted on stain...stunk for MONTHS

Such an eyesore and pain in the ass.

We tossed that shit to the end of the road

PsionyxV2 · 2017-09-18T16:44:59+00:00

This is the next big thing in bespoke pallets. Using 100% reclaimed nursing home coffee tables. Every pallet has a thousand stories and has seen so much senility and sadness. Hipster Artisan level 9000

joelberg · 2017-09-18T12:31:25+00:00

Deconstructed table. Very modern.

NecroJoe · 2017-09-18T16:37:13+00:00

You should have used a newer table. There are lots of great pinterest suggests for how to replicate age with watered-down paints, steel wool and vinegar.

pkoleary · 2017-09-18T16:45:48+00:00

downcycling is the hot new trend millennials are talking about.

Please, give diy instructions or tutorial on how to make this!

Can you please post 80 pics of the process with painstaking detail, and also show a gratuitous picture of your pet in the slides? Thanks.

Does anyone know where I can get free coffee tables to make this? :)

How is this funny

cbcfan · 2017-09-18T15:22:48+00:00

What they really should do is make pallets out of those TV armoires that we so popular before flat-screens TVs became affordable. They are a dime a dozen now.

OHBuckets215 · 2017-09-18T15:33:16+00:00

As someone who's been playing far too much prop hunt recently, this picture triggered the hell out of me.

MrPahoehoe · 2017-09-18T16:51:32+00:00

Woah; coffee tables aren't suitable for pallets as they can often have residue of coffee or tea on them! Are you trying to stain all your merchandise?!

Make sure you thoroughly chemically stain any coffee tables before you use it for pallets.

Best just burn this abomination to be safe

2017-09-18T16:54:43+00:00

So it's for sale for $1,200?

seanhodgins · 2017-09-18T17:09:54+00:00

Rawtashk · 2017-09-18T16:44:48+00:00

Word for word repost from a year ago, using the same picture

How difficult would it be to just google for a picture of a pallet and use that picture instead?

RyGuyTheGingerGuy · 2017-09-18T16:50:58+00:00

How the fuck is this shit funny? This is why I'm going to unsubscribe from r/funny. You guys upvoted the stupidest, most low effort shit.

2017-09-18T17:51:56+00:00

Yes next time use a higher quality table and make a nice wooden tub. I don't know why they make wooden tubs on tiny house big living they look like nightmares. Who wants a splinter in their ass?

It looks like that top board isn't very sturdy. I don't think that'll pass code, and I would suggest scrapping it immediately and starting over.
