A pallet constructed from thick walled hollow paperboard cylindrical cores has longitudinally extending runners to which deck forming members are connected, the runners having notches within which the deck forming members are tightly received. Each deck forming member is a longitudinal segment of a thick walled hollow paperboard cylindrical core. The pallet has feet attached to the runners to raise the runners and thus the deck members above the floor so that the pallet has four-way entry for forklifts and also permits use of standard pallet jacks for lifting the pallet. In one embodiment, each foot is a short length of hollow thick walled paperboard core connected to the bottom of the respective runners by a tab and slot connection, the tabs being longitudinal extensions of the feet while the slots being formed in the peripheral surface of the runners transverse to the longitudinal axis. In a second embodiment each foot is a short length of hollow thick walled paperboard core which slidably is connected to a respective end of a runner by cooperating slots.
