WHY? In addition to looking cool, pallets are cheap and with a bit of know-how can be made as almost any furniture substitute.<\/p>\n

You can pick up cheap (or free) pallets from gumtree, ebay or go to a distributor such as Direct Pallets <\/a>. You’ll also need a few power tools, paint or stain and a bit of creativity. If you don’t have the time or it’s not something you enjoy doing, then why not get some handyman help <\/a>from a Airtasker in your neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
