Don’t want to pay ridiculous prices for furniture that can be made for FREE from materials that would otherwise be wasted? Mean either! That’s why I thought you’d like this article on how to make your own DIY nightstands out of pallet wood.

Well I don’t use my nightstand for clothes…so I LOVE IT!!!!! Keep ’em coming Alex!!
Thanks Wendy!
Of course a power sander and a couple coats of mat finish polyurethane would resolve Keth’s concerns – but if rustic ain’t his thing it ain’t his thing 🙂
He’s right though, it’s in the craftsmanship – you can make a lovely rustic night table out of a free pallet, but it takes a bit of time knowledge skill and pickiness over which / what pallets you’ll use.
Well maybe I’m just cheap but, I would probably not pay $400 for a nightstand. Someone has some money to burn….. I’ve made pallet things just from seeing them on this website and you can sand the oak pallets down pretty nice and them stain them . Not to bad on the skin or clothes but , I’m sure the $400 feels better , if you have that much money for a nightstand. I’m not part of corporate America I guess. Keep sending cheap options for people like me. Thanks.
How neat! Love this!
I have to agree with Colin. I can’t afford the ” higher ” priced furniture and have made my own from time to time. But I don’t begrudge those who work for it and can afford it. I like the idea for a really rustic cabin, but to use day after day, I would sand, stain and polyurethane them to prevent dust buildup.Don’t forget, the Adirondack chairs were first a lumber camp chair, now refined.
I would also like to see more homes and styles from the North and N East. Since I am from the Adirondacks, I know that trappers and guides lived in very small cabins all winter, so it would be nice to know if anyone else is still living tiny..
