The Legion pallet tables are made from used shipping pallets; the pallets are sandblasted and then waxed to give them a luxurious golden brown color. The wheels at the bottom, which raise the table to acceptable height, look pretty substantial – two of them have brakes.

You might argue that $242 is a lot to pay for something when the wood that it is built out of is essentially free, but sandblasting and waxing are somewhat labor-intensive and it is a good-looking table. You could do worse – and if you don’t want to part with your money this is a very doable DIY project.

Price: about $242 (ships assembled) [The Awesomer]
