Pallet: it’s just disposable packaging made of sub-par wood, As these stunning examples of pallet reuse prove beyond a splinter of a doubt.
Snag the high quality pallets used to ship heavy machinery or stone,
which are often made of strong high quality wood like walnut, and you
could turn them into a new headboard, dining table, bookshelf or even an
entire accent wall with lots of rustic modern charm. Before you want to use it, better seek out solid wood pallets that aren’t shipped from overseas to
avoid chemical treatments, let them sit out in the sun for a week or
two before using, and sand, sand, sand.
these pallets create a simple organization system for wares in a shop
without any other alterations. The idea could be adapted for a drying
rack in an art studio or plates and pans in a kitchen.

stacked pallets attacked to a backing serve as a freestanding display
that could be used for books and magazines, photos or collectibles.

magazines or garden supplies. They could also be used outside for an
easy way to move potted plants around your yard.
