For this furniture you will only need 2 narrow wooden strips: the yellow color ones.

You will need a hammer and crowbar to dismantle the pallet safely. Gloves and protective goggles recommended.

Step 2: Put everything together

As you can see, we used only 2 wooden strips in a very simple and clean design.

You will need 4 corners to give the shelf structural strength.

These corners can be built using any spare part from the pallet you have, even though in our model we used the yellow wooden strips for that.

Put everything together like you can see in the picture.

Step 3: finish model and decoration
