Nobody usually opts for concrete when it comes to making furniture. The reasons are quite obvious; it is hard to work with, it is heavy and not very comfortable and unless you’re trained to work with it, chances are you’ll end up messing the project and ruining your clothes. However, check out Redditor snickers0129’s project of making a coffee table out of concrete. See the project below and let us know what you think of it.
