    Ok we have some flaws but that’s part of life. We can repair them or live with them.
    After a few coats of wax or an acrylic sealer and Im good with it as is.:)

    Guesstimate as to it's weight?
    That table would weight over 600 lbs.

    A square foot of concrete about 1.5 to 2 inc is es thick weighs 17 to 20 lbs, iirc.

    4 ft by 8 foot slab is like 575 lbs plus metal and wood.

    Am I wrong?

    It measures 40”x84” at 1 5/8” thick with a border/frame of 1 3/8” thick.
    cement is 80# per sack x4 and one at 60# plus water at 8# per gallon but the water disapates so when fully dry that is eliminated. Wood varies per board and I’m guessing by per piece I cut on green weight. That too will dry and lesson in weight. It’s rough but I know its heavy. That’s my guesstimate.

    My son is a concrete contractor. Well he is a bit more than that. He is an artist. I am not bragging, I have watched his various build over the last 20 years. He won the first prise in an art competition in Marble Falls for this View attachment 262964
    That's one heck of a flyswatter...

    Concrete weighs 12 lbs for each square foot by 1” thick.
