Book Reviews of Making Concrete Countertops (Schiffer Book)
Book Review: The "Other" top referenc for concrete countertops
Summary: 5 Stars
It's nearly impossible to research good DIY concrete countertop books without comparing this author with Fu tung Cheng. Cheng's are a little more polished, but both are good references for different styles. This book and method help you produce a totally different appearance in the end product but they are very acceptable trade-offs and in some cases, may be preferable to Cheng's style. I think this author's approach maintains good fundamental instruction, but inspires a little more creativity. It is a different approach while still providing good fundamentals and enough information to create your own beautiful and unique concrete countertops. A good book to have.
