Not all concrete dining tables are built the same. Understanding the construction helps you choose wisely.

Microcement systems

Microcement is a layered cement-based finish applied over a structured core.

It delivers the concrete look with more manageable weight and flexibility.

Solid concrete slabs

Solid slabs are heavy, monolithic builds.

They require careful handling and suitable access during installation.

Weight and installation

Weight affects stairs, floors and delivery logistics.

Always consider how the table will reach its final position.

Long-term ownership

Ask about maintenance, repair options and refinishing.

A well-built table should be serviceable long after delivery.

A common mistake

Assuming all concrete tables perform the same over time.
