Does anyone here have these in their kitchen?
Has anyone ever installed them?

I am about to undertake the installation of Concrete Counter Tops in my kitchen and was just trying to get all the information I can. Please let me know if you have had any experience with these in your home, but I am really looking for information from anyone who has experience making your own.

I don't know much about countertops, Brother but be sure you get the kind that slightly rises at the edge. It will keep spilled liquids from dripping on the floor.

I got the book and video from this guy but have not done one yet.

I am thinking of making a stainless steel form that sits on the counter and then pour the concrete in rather than cast and flip. Not sure how that would work though. I plan on trying a few first before I go for a finished product.

I have seen them in some very pricey homes. Don't know if they are good or just trendy.

I love this idea!

We are thinking of ordering Cheng's products, he sells his own concrete mix and stains and things.
