Making a concrete table should not be complicated. In fact some “handy” homeowners have tried making their own respective concrete tables and have been successful towards it.

Home Depot came out with an instructional on how to make a concrete table. National Ready Mix Concrete Association          

“I’ve seen several great blog posts about DIY concrete countertops. I figured if it’s durable enough for a kitchen counter, it would certainly be a great solution for a durable table top. I liked this solution for several reasons. It’s extremely cost effective, and relatively easy to do from everything I had read. From a design perspective, I loved that it added a new texture to my space and gave the eye relief from all the dark wood in my dining room. The natural grey color just happens to work well with my home. But you can dye the concrete any color to coordinate with your decor– another plus!”
