Hi Mimi

You ask for an honest Opinion? Here goes... I do like solid 'things'... wood with wood and concrete with concrete. Criteria I apply when I buy something is to go with timeless style... combinations comes and go...therefore I would not buy this table.

No, because of the concrete base. A person could put their back
out trying to move that for vacuuming\cleaning(we do that ourselves here). Better as a Boat anchor. imo.

I appreciated for the answers.

Lonely, this collection has different version, concrete base wooden top, concrete base marble top and its do has the one solid concrete for both top and base as below:









Hi Johny, thanks for the answer, you will soon find these products in West Elm's stores, and the one with concrete top and concrete base will be much cheaper than the price you expected, and for me it looks very cute, concrete style! :)

Hi Pedal, thanks for what you said, but it's not that heavy actually (I means the side table), and in fact for Dining and Coffee one you do not need to move products for cleaner, I guess.

I can;'t see having concrete in my home. So it would be yard furniture. But I think the wood is too nice for yard furniture. It won't last in our winters and it would bake in the summer time.

How much would I pay if I wanted it as yard furniture? Well, concrete stuff should be really cheap. What'd it cost to make? A dollars worth of concrete into a mold? On the other hand, shipping concrete all the way from Vietnam? Yowza! It may be more cost efficient to ship just the wood parts and combine them with concrete upon arrival.

The competition of course is plastic yard furniture which rarely rots and comes in any color. Inside the home I would expect to see either all wood, or wood and an attractively finished metal, even polished aluminum or stainless steel tubing or epoxy coated. Something light and sturdy. But never concrete. Jails get concrete furniture. I have a home, not a prison.

How much would I pay? I look maybe $5 - $10 for the concrete part, and the bulk of the cost dependent on the type and grain of the wood. And there we hit the problem. Pretty wood doesn't last long outside. So I wouldn't be paying for a $70 hunk of wood that gets rained on. The second problem of course is most folks with their own homes are quite capable of mixing and pouring some concrete. We don't do it much because it is a lot of bother, but we all know how much a sack of Quikrete costs and that is the problem when you look at homeowners. Apt dwellers don't know nothing, so they would probably pay more for that.

Sorry if this isn't a good feedback but I am trying to be honest.
