Ever since my DIY concrete nesting table video went viral commenters have been leaving comments about how the tables will crumble under the slightest amount of weight. I purposely did not put in reinforcement du to the thinness of the tables. Metal reinforcement that is near the surface of concrete can rust and stain the concrete from the inside. Also it can be quite difficult to cast metal directly in the center of concrete that is that thin. Now it should be noted that the Quikrete countertop mix that I used is about twice as strong as typical concrete mix. This mix is about 6000 psi and does not contain large pieces of aggregate. Now if you hit these tables hard with a hammer they probably would break which makes them not unlike a glass coffee table or side table. Follow us on Instagram to see what we re working on next!
