Choice has a simple assessment here including polished concrete.
And concrete is “on trend” for kitchen bench tops.
A key consideration for your coffee table is whether it is reasonable for a customer to expect a ready to take home polished concrete topped coffee table will have been professionally sealed. After all to be fit for purpose I’d expect there to be regular spills in such use. With the on trend use of polished concrete as a kitchen bench top, heat, cutting, splashes, food products, tin cans, pots etc, you might think the product must be the best ever.
Apparently polished concrete needs to be professionally sealed!
Whether the sales rep pointed out the Nick Scalee product was not spill or stain resistant unlike other polished concrete products, some might wonder if it should have had a clear marketing advice or label to that effect.
If the coffee table is sealed there should be some advice with the product as to what system was applied or used. If it is not sealed is it fit for purpose? Practical coffee table vs a ‘work of art’? What were NS really selling?
P.S.
On trend kitchens appear to have two kitchens. One that is always picture perfect and used mainly to place that bowl of fruit or gravity defying wine bottle holder. All the real cooking gets done in the so called ‘butlers pantry’. We just have a kitchen with a large bench top. Chaos rules, and the composite stone bench top copes with a busy life.
