We discuss wooden pallets and the EPAL pallet standards in this thesis. The procedure of making wooden pallets is also presented. According to the circular economy, which aims at reusing, sharing, repairing, remanufacturing and recycling to create a closed-loop system, an inspection of wood pallet furniture manufacture was carried out. We conducted a survey to find out how familiar customers are with the wood pallet furniture. We designed, constructed and manufactured a coffee table. The finished table was tested by the SIST EN 12521:2016 standard Furniture – Strength, durability and safety – Requirements for domestic tables. The table meets all the necessary requirements and it can be put on the market. Since there are no similar products available on the Slovenian market we believe this coffee table would be of great interest for further sale.
