1. Classic Rustic Pallet Coffee Table with Hairpin Legs
This table made me love wood years ago. Use wood planks in a stack. Sand them to keep that old, great look. Then, add black, thin metal legs. This gives a cool, old-time feel. The low shelf is good for soft rugs or books. I like how the wood makes a plain couch feel warm. Pro tip: Use clear coat to seal it. This stops spills from hurting the wood!
2. Whitewashed Pallet Table with Coastal Grandma Vibes
This soft, white paint finish feels like a house by the sea. This is true even if you live far from the sea. They kept the wood gaps for a rough feel. They put on big wheels. This is smart to move the table on a movie night. They used cups and trays to style it. Now your room feels like salt air and cloth. I did this look myself. Use two coats of thin white paint. A quick rub with sand paper is all you need.
3. Herringbone Pallet Wood Masterpiece (Yes, It’s Pallets!)
Stop now—this line-art top made me so happy. Someone cut small wood pieces with great care. They cut them at an angle. They made true art. Dark wood paint makes the lines pop. It looks great with white legs. It seems like it came from a great store. But it costs less than $80 to make. If you try this, write on each piece as you cut. Trust me, it helps.
4. Low Boho Pallet Table on the Floor (Perfect for Floor Cushions)
Do you like sitting on the floor? This low wood table is stained a warm gold color. It is the best. Add soft rugs, floor seats, and many plants. It means: chill nights with friends. They just put two wood stacks on top. They fixed them tight. They put soft pads on the base. No legs, no stress, just cool times.
5. Industrial Chic Pallet Table with Metal Pipe Base
Black wood plus black iron pipes means cool style fast. The rough wood and smooth metal look great next to each other. It is great for new, big rooms. It is also good for those who want a strong, old feel. Plus: The pipes make it very strong. I have built three of these. They hold up to a lot of use.
6. Outdoor Pallet Coffee Table That Withstood a Whole Summer
This shows wood can live outside! They put a strong seal on this table. It sat on a deck all year. It saw rain, sun, and many fun nights. The wood is now gray from the sun. It looks even better. They put a glass top on it. This makes it easy to wipe clean. This is smart when you eat outside each week.
7. Two-Tone Pallet Table with Painted Drawer Fronts
The bright green small doors next to the raw wood? I was wowed. Someone smart put old small drawers into the wood holes. This gives hidden space for small items. It feels like a small, nice house. I will use this paint trick right away.
8. Minimal Scandi Pallet Table with Rounded Edges
Clean lines, light wood paint, and soft, round sides. This is calm, light style. They sanded this wood until it felt like silk. It takes a lot of time, but it is worth it. They used thin, low legs. Now your room feels twice as big and calm. This is best if you think “less is more.”
9. Farmhouse Pallet Table with X Details (Fixer Upper Who?)
The thick X shapes on the sides look like the show Home Remake. But this one is all done by you. Light white paint lets the wood lines show. I have made these tables. The key is to rub on the white paint fast. It gives that old look in one day.
10. Pallet Wood + Epoxy River Coffee Table (Mind = Blown)
Yes, someone poured blue color into a crack in the wood. They made a river table for less money. The bright glow under the light is amazing. This is a job for skilled hands. But if you want that cool river look, this is your sign.
11. Stacked Pallet Cubes for Modular Coffee Table Magic
Four separate pallet cubes on wheels that you can push together or pull apart depending on the vibe. Genius for small spaces or when you host game nights. Stain them all the same or go wild with different colors—either way, it’s endlessly flexible.
12. Pallet Table with Built-In Planters (Greenery Goals)
Cutouts in the center hold galvanized buckets full of trailing pothos—living art, basically. The wood is left raw and oiled so it ages beautifully. Every time I see this I want to add more plants to every surface in my house.
13. Glam Pallet Table with Gold Legs & Marble Contact Paper
Proof pallets can go luxe. Gold spray-painted hairpin legs + faux marble contact paper on top = total boujee energy for under $100. It’s the ultimate “nobody will believe it’s pallets” flex. I’ve used that exact marble paper trick on rental kitchen counters—holds up like a champ.
14. Kid-Friendly Rounded Pallet Table (No Sharp Corners!)
Sanded buttery smooth with fully rounded edges—perfect for homes with little ones running around. The light natural finish hides fingerprints better than dark stains (learned that after kid #2). Still looks chic, but zero worry about bumped heads.
15. Pallet Wood Lift-Top Coffee Table (Storage + Function!)
They added lift-top hardware so it becomes a makeshift desk or dining surface—game-changer for small apartments. Inside? Blankets, board games, my secret chocolate stash. The dark espresso stain feels rich and expensive.
16. Chevron Pallet Table That Looks Like Expensive Parquet
Another angle-cut masterpiece, but chevron this time. The precision is insane. Stained in contrasting light and dark tones to really make the pattern sing. I tried this once and swore a lot, but the result was worth every curse word.
17. Pallet Table Turned Bench-Style with Cushion Top
Long and low with a tufted linen cushion—basically a coffee table that moonlights as extra seating. Perfect for big families or when you’re that friend who hosts everything. The wood base keeps it grounded and casual-cool.
18. Weathered Gray Pallet Table for Modern Organic Style
Left outside intentionally for that perfect silver-gray patina, then brought in and sealed. Paired with creamy boucle chairs, it’s the ultimate modern organic moment we’re seeing everywhere in 2025. Nature did half the work here.
19. Pallet Coffee Table with Sliding Barn Door Storage
Tiny barn doors on the front hide all your clutter in the cutest way possible. The mix of stained wood and black metal tracks is rustic-industrial heaven. I’m obsessed with functional furniture that’s also adorable.
20. Rainbow Stained Pallet Table (Because Why Not?)
Each pallet slat stained a different soft pastel—pink, mint, lavender, butter yellow. It’s bold but somehow still feels serene. Perfect for anyone who believes their home should make them smile every single time they walk in the door. Joy > matching.
