DIY Pallet Sectional Complete -PsIP

It is finally finished! I wrapped the wooden pallets in left over 2X4's (hence the "mosaic" pattern). I was working on a budget of $0 so I had to use what I had on hand, but it is fully functional now. I still plan on wrapping the back of the sectional with plywood to finish it off. We will also talk about staining it soon, but might wait until the fall when we do the deck so we can do it all at once. WDYT?!

Looks great! I'm glad you wrapped it in 2x4's, it looks pulled together and finished now :)

Great job!

I think it looks awesome!  Especially considering that it is a $0 improvement.

Is that from Knock Off Wood?  Where did you pick up free pallets?

Nicely done!  I think stain will really make it complete.

That looks great!  Adding the 2x4s helped a lot.

That looks great!

You might want to rethink the plywood backing though...I've seen a lot of plywood de-laminate once it had been exposed to the elements.
