I've been binge-watching home reno shows lately (yeah, guilty pleasure), and saw someone use concrete instead of granite or quartz for their kitchen. Got me thinking... what if you spill something acidic like lemon juice or vinegar? Or drop a heavy pan—wouldn't it chip or stain easily? I dunno, seems cool but maybe risky. Curious if anyone here has experience with this kinda thing and how you'd handle those situations.
Concrete countertops look amazing in photos, but honestly, I've seen mixed results in real life. A friend went that route, and yep—acidic stuff like lemon juice or wine left noticeable marks even though it was sealed. Heavy pots didn't chip it easily, but dropping a sharp object did leave a small nick. Makes me wonder if the aesthetics outweigh the hassle of maintenance... Has anyone found a sealer or treatment that actually holds up long-term?
