I had handpoured , wirereinforced concrete countertops just like this , but mine were a darker gray stained the concrete mix with a liquid pigment . They looked absolutely great at first , but after a year they were pitted and gouged , and in certain spots eg next to the stove , grease had penetrated the layers of sealer and made spotty dark stains . My setup was four smaller pieces of countertop in a galley kitchen much like yours , and after four years each and every concrete piece had a hairline crack . I switched to granite a few months ago and have been really happy with it . tldr They look great but in my experience are not too durable . Beware of staining and gouging . <| sep |> Oro Nero ! <| sep |> Never give up
