A pallet constructed from paperboard has longitudinally extending runners formed from paperboard cylindrical cores and connected to a deck formed from a number of elongated arcuate segments of cylindrical paperboard cores. The deck members have arcuate slots extending transverse to the direction of elongation, the slots being of a configuration conforming to the cylindrical configuration of the exterior of the runners. Each deck member is positioned on each of the runners with the runners received within the slots and is secured thereto by a fastener. The uppermost portion of the deck members lie in a common plane. The runners remote from the deck members have a pair of transversely extending grooves and have slats secured adjacent the grooves extending across all of the cores to form a base.
