Pallets are an accessible, low-cost material for building furniture—often free from street corners, commercial dumpsters, construction sites, or online marketplaces. However, safety first: inspect them carefully before use. Some pallets are treated with methyl bromide, a highly toxic gas. Avoid any marked with the MB (Methyl Bromide) stamp.
Opt for pallets stamped HT (heat treated), which have been heated to 56°C for 30 minutes to kill pathogens via an EU-approved phytosanitary process. These are chemical-free and safe for home projects.
