I love that this sofa looks like it’s floating in the air. Plastic pipes are not expensive, so they work for smaller budgets, but if you really want to make it look industrial, I’d try metal ones.

Outdoor coffee tables
Making a coffee table out of pallets is pretty easy, and putting one together can be done in one day. The examples are endless. You can build a coffee table from one pallet or more. You can use casters, big or small. You can put a glass top on top and add drawers. You can make it stained or distressed. Really, whatever comes to mind.
Although most of the examples below feature a pallet coffee table indoors, they can easily be used in any outdoor setting. You just have to remember to use weatherproof/water-resistant paint/sealer.
