CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Inspirational -
I enjoyed this book a lot. It has great information and ideas for anyone starting out with using concrete creatively. Good old Sunset books...always lots of solid information for beginners!
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
not bad, not great - 
This book is not bad, but as another reviewer says, it lacks detail. It badly needs an expanded contents page. However, for the price the book is worth it.
It has a lot of really nice pictures that give good inspiration, such as stains, test blocks and sinks. It has several good step by step examples, such as building a cast in place counter top, an upside down counter and a farm sink.
The 'section' on floors is three inches of half page text and four pages of pictures, plus a two page project of covering a concrete floor with a commercial topping product.
The center of my copy has sixteen pages duplicated upside down. Not a big deal, but the printer needs a bit better quality control.
Great General Resource -
This is a surprisingly comprehensive overview of the potentials and techniques of creating concrete projects for the average homeowner. It shows both process and end product for a number of highly creative results, from polished concrete counters, to tinted floors and sidewalks, to one-of-a-kind sinks. As with most Sunset books, the illustrations are clear, the photos are gorgeous and unique, and the content an inspiration. While, for example, you'd probably not be able to create one the sinks pictured just from the instructions in the book, you'd still be inspired to create.
Nice pictures, lacking detail -
I bought this book in conjunction with another book so I wasn't really expecting it to be very detailed. What this book does for me is offer a lot of ideas with great pictures and some steps to achieving the end result. If you've ever read a more detailed step-by-step book and then you read this book you'll see that this book leaves out a lot of detail but it does serve as a good book for concrete project ideas and works great in conjunction with other more detail material on working with concrete.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Excellent Book for Concrete Creators -
This book was great! It has all the necessary information needed for making stepping stones and other neat projects, including types of cement and sand and stuff needed for those projects. A must have!!
