    This outdoor kitchen has a 1.25" thick, precast hand troweled concrete countertop. The color is Taupe from the Trueform Concrete Classic Color Collection. A hand troweled concrete surface is a one-of-a-kind piece and will have lots of unique variation and texture. Concrete countertops will typically run higher in cost than most other countertop surfaces. Because the creation of concrete products is based on many chemical reactions, It is extremely difficult to fabricate a quality and consistent concrete countertop. Although many TV shows depict concrete counters as being simple and cheap for a homeowner to make, it should be left in the hands of professionals if you want a quality, high strength, and good looking product. Price /sqft will vary nationally and some companies will price based on the scope of the project. One should expect to pay, at the low end, $100 / sqft and it can go up to and exceed 180 / sqft.
