Fuck the chinee garbage
There used to be a Vietnamese chain furniture store that was hit or miss. it was weird. some of the solid decent stuff they made was cheaper and heavy (knowing it had a good frame) and 100% pushback on push cushion testing
and others was more expensive and looked to have been made with old pallet boards. when I came to pick up the ones I bought which were decent but not as nice as the family owned business I spoke off earlier, they too were in the warehouse with exactly what I thought the frames were being made from. Old Pallets they were tearing apart. or they were fixing furniture returned or damaged in store (out of box)
anything to save a few bucks. but other than that they were decent folks. -

in all seriousness, ive torn apart pallets and used the wood for various things and projects...and some of that wood is high-strength super-wood.
ive driven over pallets with a 6,000 skid-steer and the wood crackled but didnt break.
theres a video somewhere online of some guy who used disassembled pallets on the walls of his basement after he sanded and varnished them and it looked quality.
and the homeless people apparently love pallets for construction projects -

this is true. it is treated with nasty chemicals (like they use on floorboards of rail cars and the same kind of cars on flatbedd or shipping containers to keep rodents from chewing on them.
so the concern is the toxic chemicals in them that could cause cancer. but yes, they're very strong. I hope your friend use a respirator or PPE type specialty suit and mask when sanding them down. but its the thought of them breaking down faster for not being treated from molding and then rotting sets in that makes it shit tier. it's nice when you first get it but it breaks down in just 3 years or so. -

it was some random guy on youtube...i didnt know him. they also use 'scrap' wood that may or may not have the old-style arsenic treatments. the new shit is copper based so not nearly as toxic. or effective.
i do know some guy i used to work with who would tear them apart and make bonfires out of them AND cook food on the flames. i told him about the assorted toxins and he shrugged his shoulders and said he didnt care.
the local homeless population uses pallets in all kinds of construction projects. they have full-on gilligans island compounds made from pallets in various degrees of assembly and disassembly. they use them like ghetto legos. -

this is why so many of them have camp fires going on and then out of control camp fires under freeways. it's a common thing here in the bay area as Im sure elsewhere. you drive by and these dudes have roaring fires in their tarp tents and makeshift cabins.
again.. toxic smoke for all. yet they still exist because a judge banned San Francisco from removing them as well as Oakland etc -
2023-11-07 at 11:02 PM UTCfire in a tent is pretty fucking stupid they only do that because it's illegal to have fires in the open in most places otherwise they can just shut it down because too many calls to emergency
You will never see a burning barrel in an alley with homeless crack heads using it for warmth anymore not like you used to
I set a barrel on fire in an alley once and the entire city block got locked down and there was a police and news helicopter from all the chaos -

pallets are great and i use them to make shelves as long as you dont use them where food and hands dont come into contact when you eat.
theyre sprayed with super pesticide that last decades. thermites just dont eat shipping pallets,
