DIY Pallet Coffee Table

Recently I found myself in a bit of a bind. I had sold off our coffee and end tables a few weeks ago and didn’t realize how much of a staple in our living room they had become until they were gone! So one night after the kids were in bed & Eric had gone out fishing, I found myself in the garage breaking down pallets to make a coffee table.
I cut my pieces at a 45 degree angle to and secured them to my base using wood glue and a brad nailer. Once they were all in place I framed the table out to clean it up and give it a border and then stained it all using both Classic Grey and Provencial by Minwax. 4x4 posts were cut and secured to the bottom for legs.
I'm over the moon thrilled with the way it turned out! It's the perfect addition to our living room.
