Anybody ever do your own concrete countertops?

Mine is a little different. It's for our patio table. I formed a stainless steel pan 5'x5' to pour in and it's only 3/4" thick concrete. Going to leave it in the pan which sits down flush inside the table frame. It is well supported. I used a very high strength concrete but no reinforcement because it was so thin. I think it will be okay. It does have to hold my fat a$$ when I get on it to pull the umbrella in and out.

The part I'm unsure about is the staining process. I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos and it looks pretty fool proof but I've never stained concrete before. I guess I can't screw it up too bad. The concrete pouring and finishing went okay. Now I have to wait a week or two to stain it. Good thing is it's in my shop at work so weather isn't an issue. Moving it will be fun though. Over 300 Lbs....
