The Concrete Dining Table can be made for under $195 dollars in materials cost. This is the cost for the concrete, wood, wood finish, concrete sealer, and other basic supplies. This estimate considers you’re using Quikrete 5000 as a more affordable option. I bought my chairs at World Market, and you can find similar chairs on their website by clicking here - bit.ly/1MXOKt7
Assemble Melamine Form
You should set that large, bottom piece of the melamine form on a flat, level work surface. With melamine forms, you’ll want to be sure to keep it very clean and make sure there are no imperfections or chipping in any of the boards. Whatever faces the inside of the form will translate onto the concrete top after it’s poured.
We’ll assemble the sides with 1 ½ wood screws. Be sure to pre drill all holes before adding the screws and make sure everything is square, level, and flush when you’re screwing it together. Don’t add wood glue to the sides of the melamine form, because we’ll need to easily deconstruct it later.
Pour Concrete into Form
After mixing up the tubs concrete and getting it to a consistency that is peanut-butter-like, then we’ll add it to the form. Wear gloves for this process, spread the concrete evenly in the form and fill it about ⅔ full. Once you’ve reached ⅔ and have spread all of the concrete out evenly, we’ll add the piece of rebar reinforcement to the form. Place it into place and keep adding more concrete to fill it to the top of the form.
Screed, Trowel, and Let Cure
Once you’ve filled the form with your concrete mixture, we’ll want to level and smooth it all out. Using a scrap 2×4 piece of wood will work fine for the level and screeding of the concrete. Scrape the board from one side of the form to the other in a back-and-forth motion, scraping excess concrete out of the form and working it into low spots. Then we can vibrate the concrete either with a mallet, reciprocating saw (without the blade in), or orbital sander. Spend some time vibrating the concrete. Then trowel it all with a clean trowel and cover the whole concrete top with a plastic cover to help it cure evenly. Let the concrete cure and dry for the manufacturers recommended time. Once it has hardened slightly, you can come through and do a hard trowel of the bottom. Refer to the video for more information about this technique.
Build the Base Legs
Once you’ve poured your concrete and it is taking the necessary time it needs to cure, then we’ll move onto building the wood base. The wood base is a modern, simple design and should not take that long to build. Refer to the cut list in the plans for help in deciphering which base pieces go where. Your base basically consists of two 4×4 constructed boxes on each end and three 4×4 support stretchers running between the top of the boxes. When putting the joints together with the torx screws, be sure to pre drill to avoid any splitting of the wood. Also, generously add wood glue to the joint to ensure security and strength...more at www.diypete.com/ConcreteDining...

Honestly have watched your video a million times, I bought a house last year and FINALLY got around to building the table! Still yet to sand and polish but thanks to your tutorial and handy tips it’s come up looking great so far! So thank you from Australia.
Hello! I'm from Australia as well and was looking at making this table soon. Are you happy with the concrete that you used? If so would love to hear what brand / colour etc
Pete, I'm really glad to see your channel's growth. You truly deserve it since you pour so much time, effort and heart into it. It really shows. Also, the fan interaction goes a long way. Best of luck and I'm looking forward to future projects. I can really tell right now you're on a concrete theme kick! Haha, take care.
+David Castillo Hi David! Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate it, you INSPIRE me to put in all the hours on projects. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video tutorials and to say hi. Cheers and have a great weekend! - Pete
Hi Pete. As a creator and UA-camr myself, I'm so satisfied to come across a tutorial like yours that is descriptive, informative, fast paced, clear, and of high value. Seriously. I'm looking into making a concrete table for wedging clay as I am a potter. This video covered everything and did not disappoint. Thank you so much for making the perfect video and thanks for wearing the Nebraska hoodie. After hearing "bayg" I started wondering where you are from ;) Take care and again, thanks for a great video.
I appreciate the videos you upload. I am an aspiring garage wood worker and enjoy these simple yet eye appealing designs. Keep it up!!
+Jared Lung Thanks Jared! I appreciate it!
Thank you Pete for taking the time to show your work, I learned a lot and the table turned out beautiful.
You bet Denise! Thanks so much for taking the time to say hi and for watching the video! Hope all is well!
Great job Pete. I really enjoy the simplicity of your projects and videos.
Thanks!
This is amazing man. Well done! And much thanks and appreciation on the info and instruction on how to do this. I look forward to doing this.
Thanks Carlos!
I'm really inspired by this Pete thanks so much for the how-to. I am also thinking embedded wood would look awesome but not sure how I would polish the concerted and not mar the wood at the same time. Any ideas?
That table looks beautiful Pete!! Great job.
+Tommy G Workshop Thanks Tommy and I appreciate you taking the time to watch the tutorial! Take care!
Good stuff.. Love it! :)
+Make it Extreme Thanks a bunch!
Beautiful table , great job Pete
+mingo hernan Thanks Mingo :)
Wow i love it. I will try yo make my own dining table. Thank you for sharing your idea.
The more I see concrete tabletops, the more I'm convinced i'm going to do my outdoor kitchen top from concrete. Great tips here Pete! Looks nice!
+djAnakin Hey DJ! I think outdoor concrete kitchens are super cool. You could definitely make an amazing outdoor kitchen. I'm going to be doing an outdoor kitchen project in early 2016 involving a grill, which might be helpful. But when you are ready to build let me know and if you have any questions I can help with please holler! Cheers from Montana - Pete
Looks great Pete! Time for a car was after all that concrete sanding.....sure got your workout in on this project.
+Tyler G Hey Tyler! Thanks for checking out the project :) It was the concrete mixing that got me, that's a lot of work! Cheers bud
+DIY PETE Any recommendations to make this process a but easier?, Maybe a concrete mixer attachment to a drill might work, or is that just fine for paint, but concrete is too thick? Great video.
+UnknownHandle UnknownHandle Yep, I've definitely used an attachment! I like the big drywall mixing tool (spiral shaped works better then the paddle). But you'll really want a heavy duty plug in powered drill if you are doing this. When mixing this way, I like to use those big buckets with the rope holds on each side. (typically find at a department store like Target) --- a lot of times people have them in the garage to hold kids toys or footballs, soccer balls, etc. I don't mix more then one bag at a time. Great question!
Excellent build. I will be doing my outdoor table with a marble look next week. I will keep you posted. Thanks for your video!
Sounds great!
That looks awesome!
+Wes Hamstra (Wes Hamstra Woodworking) Thanks Wes!!
Wow that is amazing Mr. PETE. Love your ideas.
Thanks Lisa! Hope all is well!
I've watched and liked too many of your videos to not have subscribed. Just fixed that problem! I'm looking forward to taking my time watching all your videos. Thanks for posting this awesome table!!
Thank so much! I really appreciate it! Cheers and can't wait to hear about what you make!
Hello Pete. Just finished my table, except it is a patio table. I used Con Heart Redwood for the base, and used 5 sacks of 5000 lb strength Quickcrete for the top. I had an extra sack left over. I lengthened the table to 84 inches. Six coats of sealer (after staining), and one coat of wax. I love the look, and can't wait to start entertaining. I bought the concrete adhesive, but did not use it. This table and top is not going anywhere. Actually, the slab curved because I left it on the melamine too long. It is not even touching the horozontal 4x4s - just resting on the ends. Wish I could post the photos- it looks great!
Amazing! I must try this on a countertop.
+Maple Bush Hi Maple! You definitely should, I'd love to see some photos of the countertops you make. Cheers! - Pete
Great Video Pete!
I have followed your directions perfectly and in two days I will be removing the mold sides. I'm anxious to see how it turned out..although I am concerned because my mixture wasn't as thick as yours, I actually had water rising to the top of the cement after a few minutes in which I screeched off.
Anyways, I used Sakrete 5000 and right now the exposed concrete is pretty white. I want a darker gray look. Will the lightness go away after I put sealer on it, or do I need to acid stain it? I want a natural gray concrete look, but not too light.
Thanks!
Another great project pete! Good stuff.
Thanks!
Really like this and you explain things well. We also like that you usenormal tools that we all have in our own shop! My daughter and several of her friends are building pub-style tables for a contest and benefit auction for their FFA chapter at school. We really liked your video so this is the basic design we are going to base it on. Just making the base square and taller 😁. Thanks for the great video! Cheers from Ohio!
Great to hear Michael, and really neat your daughter is doing the pub tables for the FFA benefit! Take care!
I have learned so much from your channel. thank you so much and may God bless you and your family always .
+Kai Luang Thank you Kai. God bless.
It worked, 90x40 1.5in thick, with your easy to build base. Thanks Pete!
Great to hear!
Awesome vid man!
Love your work Pete - I'm about to have ago - in Melbourne Aust. getting ready for summer out of lock down :-)
That looks fairly simple!!
Looks good. I have found that using a float after placing the initial Concrete in the form greatly reduces air pockets in the top. The more time spent in the very beginning reduces time spent touching up.
Thanks Jeff!
Thank You! You have inspired me to do a few concrete projects
Very cool Gary, keep up the great work!
I love this project. Another great job Pete. This one had you sweating. Seems like your getting into the concrete projects lately.
+Vinnie C Hey Vinnie! Thanks for the comment. Mixing concrete is hard work and will definitely get the heart working! Yeah, I really enjoy working with concrete and showing others that it can be used for more than driveways and sidewalks. By the way, I hope you are starting to feel better and getting well. -- Have a great weekend Vinnie - Pete
Love this table, beautiful job! Great build! Did you make the chairs? Thanks for sharing your talent and time with us all!
Thanks Derek! I actually got the chairs at World Market.
hi from Australia :) I love all your concrete projects they look amazing
Thanks, I hope all is well down under!
Great job ! Labor of love.
you're an inspiration Pete. Thank you for sharing.
+Jon Harmil Thanks for watching Jon!
Hi pete i am from Singapore. i really like all the furniture that you made from concrete. hope i can do it too.
What a well done efficient video!
Thank you!
I like the fact that it was extended in the mold with the hands. I love the durability of the cement , but I'm not too crazy about the color of the cement . These countertops are very practical.
Thanks Maya! Good news is, concrete can be colored integrally or stained to best fit your taste :) Cheers!
Wish I would have seen this video before I made my table. My table ended up being 66"X 42" by 2 1/2" thick. So it ended up wieghing over 600lb we had a hell of a time flipping it over. That table will stay home outside. I'm going to make another table just like yours for our cabin. Great video.
I am about to start doing it! Great idea! Thank you for share.
Have fun!
very good Pete!
+Nouser Unrecognizable Thanks!
Very nice Project. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Ricardo!
Looks like someone got a new miter saw. Great video Pete
+Jake W Hey Jake! Been rocking the sliding miter saw from Ryobi for a while and love it. Cheers man!
Good job! I also made a dinning table for my family and I think it's a great concept to have dinner and good times on something that you built... if you were to sell this table how much would you price it at?... I live in Canada and I was thinking about building concrete furniture and countertops to sell, just as a hobbie!
great job!
Can you make a video of how you made the wood frame? I'm thinking of making a granite table. Should weight about the same.
I have used a hammer drill (not too big) fitted with a smooth bolt to vibrate the mold. Still got a few tiny air pockets. Love your table.
Thanks Terry! Great idea!
another great concrete video!
+Frank M Hey Frank, thanks for saying hi and I appreciate you taking the time to check out the video! Have a great day! - Pete
Great video guys. Very useful.
Thanks Kenneth!
Great job, thank you for sharing
+Mansoor Al Qubaisi Thanks!
Great stuff! Before you sealed, was there still a fine powder when you ran your finger across? Is this normal for me or I need to keep sanding? I have the impression that it will always be there until I seal
very good job.i like it
+Asmaa Hanine Thanks :)
Nicely done.
StephenNu9 thanks!
Nice job buddy I just got done watching your Farmhouse table build I really like that one I might have to give a try this spring I think it will be the first project in my new shop I am building a two story 16x24 cannot wait just like a little kid take care my friend
+Charlie Wood Hey Charlie! Thanks for taking the time to comment and say hi. Your farmhouse build will be great. Congrats on the 16x24 shop, that's awesome!!
Great job - I will be giving this a go.
+Kate Kearney Best of luck!
It looks really good! I think I could even do this haha.
May sound weird but there is a device you hook to your tv sound system through the subwoofer and it's attached to your couch so it'll shake your couch when the sub goes off. Maybe get one of those to vibrate your table. And play music with bass or just make a audio file with a a lot of bass notes. Cheap way to shake the table without lifting it 😂
+kevin condon haha! love that idea Kevin :) get those tunes bumping! cheers man - Pete
came out nice
Thanks!
Hey Pete. Great video. I'm really looking forward to starting this project. I was wondering if I wanted to make the table 84" in length instead of 72", would I have to make an adjustment to the base?
Hi! Yes, you'd want to increase the length -- and to add additional support to the base. Cheers!
Wow This was amazing 😍
Thanks for watching!
Now I know what I'm going to do for my next project!
Have fun!
Great job
THanks!
Great table, love it. Is there a vid for the table base?
Thanks for watching Lewis! I unfortunately didn't video the base.
Hey Pete, thanks for another great video! Wondered if you would talk about the painting (?) on the wall where you put this table. Is that a painting or photo and where is it of? thanks!
lol, you did great job man, I learned lots of thing about concrete from your video, thxs for share.
It also gave me good inspiration about that I can make a concrete ping-pong tables lol。
+W Pete That's awesome! Good luck with that ping pong table!
Hey Pete - been watching your videos and loving them - keep up the awesome work. A concrete table like this is in my near future! I was curious what your take on concrete counter tops were and if you have ever built them? Contemplating now but unsure of best way to go about it.
+Tyler Allen Hi Tyler! That's awesome you are going to do the table, thanks a ton for saying hi and taking the time to watch the videos! I have done concrete counters. I'd highly recommend doing a few small scale projects first (tables etc). Here is some basic info on finish options www.diypete.com/concrete-tables-101/, as well some books by Buddy Rhodes and Cheng - www.diypete.com/recommended-books/
+DIY PETE thanks for the info Pete. Will definitely be researching!
Hey Pete, awesome tutorial. I was looking at your coffee table tutorial as well. Im creating a concrete coffee table 67x43 and 2 3/4 thick. Do I need to add rebar or will the mesh work well by itself?
Hi! Mesh will work. But what I'd do since it is pretty thick --- is use 3/8" rebar along the perimeter. Cut 4 pieces, then zip tie them to the mesh. Add a couple in the center as well. May be a bit overkill, but will help in the long run.
Well, as some one who did residential concrete for 30 years, not bad. Since I am a very experienced concrete finisher, and did a lot of poured in place table tops, I prefer a hand troweled top, but that is beyond most DIY people. It does solve the need to fill air pockets. Stripping and facing the sides and the under rim can be tricky. Only worry I had about your project was seeing the grid from the mesh wire after you put it in and were vibrating the top of the slab. There are also lots of variations of stains for the concrete that are fairly simple to apply.
This was fantastic. Have you ever tried concrete table tops with wood inlay?
I love this!!!🤩
thanks!
Love the Nebraska hoodie
GO BIG RED! Thanks for watching Steve. Cheers
thanks, its a nice tutorial, could you please list of the paint you apply on the concrete?
+Yip Wai Hi, the concrete has not been painted. It is naturally a grey color. It is sealed, and the sealer used can be found in the post. www.diypete.com/diy-concrete-dining-table/
beautiful end job
Thanks!
Hi there, Pete. Great video and great tutorials. The only part of this that I still need to sort out is the actual work table underneath the concrete! Looks like you have a pretty good setup, any suggestions on a temporary solution, or perhaps one that can be stored after? My humble workshop is also our garage, and my workbench is a built-in countertop. So large structures like this are hard to keep around 100% of the time. Would love any input here. Thanks again!
Hi Lindsey! Thanks so much for subscribing and for the kind words. --- Some people use heavy duty sawhorses with notches and connect them with 2x4's. Then they'll put a piece of plywood over them to create a sturdy table. Followed by the mold for the concrete. Otherwise, a lot of folks will build something similar to my table with 4x4's, 2x4's, and 3 inch wood screws. - Basically a skeleton of mine - that will be sturdy for the concrete.
hi from Sudan...great table
Hi Shawgi, thank you!
Hey DIY Pete,
Great video!
What should you do if the underside of the table starts to chip and crumble on the sides?
Hey Joe! I would seal the underside to prevent this.
Good job, I'd probably use a densifier to fill microscopic and small voids before a final polish. It is not the same a s a sealer.
Hi DIY Pete, this looks great I would love to try this. I was planning on making our dining table for our new house out of a piece of an old wooden ten pin bowling lane. I thought of welding together a steel frame and dropping the piece of lane in the frame and then covering it with a piece of toughened glass so as to keep the used bowling lane look (plus it is a piece of the lane I rolled my highest score on - 297). Any other suggestions that you might have to make my project work? Otherwise I might give this concrete option a go.
+Ashley Chettleburgh Hi Ashley! This bowling alley idea sounds really neat. Congrats on a 297! I couldn't even come close to that using the bumper lanes :) The glass would do a great job protecting the wood and creating a smooth surface. You could go without the glass and add some additional sealers - but it sounds like you'd rather not, so glass would work well in my opinion. I love the combination of steel and wood --- welding together a base (maybe angle iron to hold around the perimeter and stretchers across/underneath the alley to make sure there is plenty of support. I think the look of cold rolled steel would look neat, but you could always patina the steel to give it other colors. -- Your bowling alley idea sounds cool, let me know what you end up going with! - Cheers, - Pete
hi Pete thank you for the videos they are amazing let me ask you a question I can't afford the melamine can I use plywood for the bottom part of the table and make it smooth on top
Hi Elia! Plywood won't be perfectly smooth and will absorb moisture from the concrete. If you did use plywood you'd first want to seal it. Even sealed, it will replicate the surface of the plywood -- so it will mimic the grain and any knotholes etc. You could pour the table right side up, but I don't recommend that to beginners because it takes some practice to be able to get a nice smooth finish with a trowel.
Do you know if I could use stucco on the table
By the way I love all your videos
Hey Pete, I am about to build another outdoor table. I really appreciated your help while I was building the first one. I see in your video that you used quikrete countertop mix. I used quickrete 5000 with my first table. My question for you is the countertop mix OK for outdoors and is their much of a difference that is is worth paying the cost difference? I appreciate you help and once again thanks for your videos ad ideas. I suspect I viewed this video at least 15 times.
Me gusto mucho gracias por compartirlo saludos de 🇲🇽
gracias!
fabulous
+James Cox Thanks James!
the project is great pete... i like your table saw .... if its possible can u make the dinning seats too thank you...
+Tito Wambuch Tito!!! great to hear from you bud, I hope all is well in Kenya. I'm always inspired by all the projects you are creating bud :) I did buy the chairs for this table as I'm sure you know, but I am thinking about making a similar chair for a DIY project to help DIY'ers who want to make their own chairs. -- I don't know how soon I'll be able to get to it, but it is definitely something I want to cover. Thanks TITO!! - Pete
Two words...BAD ASS!!!
Thanks Craig! Cheers man!
Thanks for a great video. Built a 40x80x2 slab and a 15x72x2 bench. Tried to get 5 friends to help move it but couldn’t! Had to build a trolley to roll it, a 16ft ramp and pulley system to get it onto my deck, built a crane over deck with chain hoist to lift the 650+ pound slab and 4 hydraulic jacks to lower onto my base. Did this without anyone’s help! Be sure to calculate the weight before you start! Love our table and saved about $3k over what my wife wanted to buy!
Wow, great job Bob! Sounds amazing. And way to innovate all the stuff to help move it!
Awesome!!!
Thanks Rafael! Great to hear from you!
Nice work! If you oil the mold with regular motor oil it will release very easy.
+Mike Anderson Thanks!
+DIY PETE Yep, I've use oil before on the forms for footings for houses etc. For tables/counters using melamine it's not necessary to use a release, but I have used cooking oil (Pam) - or a release agent around sink molds etc - cheers!
Not sure if it was mentioned. But a palm sander w/o the sand paper is a great way to remove air pockets. Just run it along the wood framing.
+MryanM You got it!
looks good, I guess lol. From a guy who has spent over 30 years making concrete items for buildings all over the UK it kind of amazes me why people would want a concrete slab in their dining room lol. If I did have one myself it would not be a wet mix like done in this video.. The mould used would be fine but I would have used a sand cement dry mix for the sides and ends, then sand cement aggregate in the mould with steel, then banged down hard then scratched. Sand cement then on top and screeved. Rubbed up with a wood float , polished if you want to, then take if the sides and ends and do the same. You could even do any design you want on top and sides. The advantage of doing it this way is ZERO air bubbles, perfect round edges without using sand paper, and it would only take 30 mins from start to finish lol.
I would love to try this. What about using rapid set morter rather than concrete?
Great to hear Angela! I've used the Rapidset mortar and concrete mixes on various projects. While I love the instant gratification, the long term results have made it so that I do not use it on projects like these. If you are going with a normal mix, I'd stick with something like Quikrete 5000.
good job
+Abdulh Mohamed Thanks Abdul!
That's super!
+stephen dickinson Thanks Stephen!
Table looks great, any suggestion to make it lighter yet still have the same strength and integrity.
Thanks! I don't build tables of this size thinner than 1 1/2 inches. For thicker tops I'll sometimes use foam to lessen the weight. If you wanted to go thinner you'd want to look into a special GFRC mix ( glass fiber reinforced concrete) cheers!
awesome!
+Veronica Hernandez Hey Veronica! Thanks so much for watching the tutorial and for the kind words! Take care - Pete
Great project Pete can you add a color to the concrete, and would the same process be used to make a kitchen counter top?
+John Smith Hi John! You can certainly add color to the concrete. You can mix it integrally with the concrete, or you can stain the concrete once it is finished. Check out my Concrete Playlist to see the acid staining technique. And google concrete counters to check out some color options. I've done a number of "burgundy -wine colored tops" and green tops -- that turned out great. Kitchen countertops are done in a similar fashion.
Great job, Pete. I am going to tackle this project next week. Are there any flooring requirements for the weight. I have porcelin tile coming in, so our floor is weighted. Would you discourage this table? Can you recommend any treatment for an outdoor table to prevent cracking in the midwest region? BTW, where in Montana are you? We are in Big Sky.
Hi Sam! Hope all is well over in Big Sky. I'm up in the Bozeman area. To prevent cracking, I'd recommend using a quikrete mix, keeping it hydrated during curing, temps between 45 and 65, and re-enforcement. I have a large table that's been indoors and out both at my folks in the midwest and at the cabin in Montana. They are both outdoors year round and have held up extremely well. A good base to evenly distribute the weight is important. As for the floor of a dining room --- I have 12 inch travertine tile - no issues -- if weight is distributed well and pads are used I'd think you'd be okay, but always recommend having a professional in your area check out your exact situation. Cheers!
I like the finish
What is that blue sealer you used ?
Thnx
⚒👍
Thanks for watching! I used Cheng concrete sealer for this project
Hey Pete, very useful video, I have one question... What kind of sealer do you use? Any recommendations?
Hey Max! Thanks, I used to use Cheng Sealer, but have been using Tuff Duck lately because it is more affordable and does a great job. amzn.to/2FzsLOk
I love those concrete Furnitures exactly my style im gonna make me some of them when i move out look so much better than everything you can buy without spending 2000 bucks on a dining table.
Awesome! Have fun Leon!
I should would love to see a DIY concrete sink or bathtub!
Love the idea! It's definitely something I'd like to document sometime soon :) Cheers!
Nice build! I was thinking about making one, maybe this summer as an outdoortable. What material would you use I you were to insert a small barbecue in the middle of it? Wouldn't go for low and slow cooking here but would be fun for the family and friends.
+FloppyJedi Hi! Are you wanting to create a hole / knockout in the concrete that a grill would site in? If so, foam would be a great way to create the knockout. Let me know what you are looking to do with the grill. Cheers!
Yeah, thinking I'd just make some walls out of some wood and just pour around it to get the hole. Then comes the task of finding some rebar or something to hold the bbq, for example.
