Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
At first, the idea of using concrete for kitchen countertops has the same appeal as using cardboard boxes for cabinetry or dining on the floor. Naysayers are in for a surprise as architect Cheng elevates this pedestrian building material to a new level, using it to create beautiful and functional countertops. They are a far cry from rough sidewalks, having polished surfaces that can be colored or have interesting objects cast into them. Cheng shows the entire process: design considerations, mold-making, concrete selection, installation, and maintenance, all using straightforward instructions supplemented by excellent illustrations. Showing an innovative use of a common and inexpensive material, this title should be part of comprehensive public library home improvement collections. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
It's hard to get excited about counter tops, and even harder to view such everyday items as works of art, but this book offers the key to doing both. With plenty of color photographs, it illustrates the possibilities of concrete as a material and countertops as an aesthetic site. What's more, it provides a beginning-to-end guide to designing, planning, constructing, and finishing concrete countertops. The book is equally as beautiful as useful. Cheng is a designer.

    A Work of Art!

    I was highly impressed with the layout and detailed information this book provides. Typically 'how to' books lack critical information because either the author is not knowledgable enough on the subject matter or insecure in sharing what might someday threaten his or her own business. The book is easy to read, easy to understand and very interesting. Excellent photos and illustrations of the entire step-by-step process. Anyone reading this book should have the knowledge to create beautiful concrete countertops. It should be noted that I am a highly critical person and a perfectionist...the 5 star rating I give this book didn't come easy.
