I think concrete is the best, in the right hands! I have used texture molds and concrete dust to simulate slate. After inspecting the work, a year or two later, discovered it looked better and more like real slate! So, just tell the contractor what you want. And in this slow market, it should give you time to have it all done!!!
I agree with the previous comments.
As a concrete finisher for 12 years, I think I might know. The only concrete that cracks, has been improperly installed. Just look to massive concrete structures like dams, buildings, bridges, and roads. A concrete gains strength with age up to about 100 years!
Barbra needs to stick with what she knows and hold comment about what she does not.
There is no such thing as an expert in any field. An authority maybe but, never an expert. When someone claims to be an expert in anything, run away quickly. Berne Madoff was considered an investment expert. Ironic isn't it?
Also, the black counters are very dark and depressing in a kitchen. Add the horrid black appliances and your kitchen becomes a dungeon. Stainless steel appliances are also falling out of favor since people are finding out they leave finger marks and scratch. Better left to the sink.

Imao lol?
Did I use the word expert when referring to myself? NO! I did not even claim to be an authority. I just claimed to have a bit more knowledge about the subject than the author to debunk a myth.
I can honestly say that 100% of the slabs that I have poured have not cracked where they were not supposed to.
I have replaced slabs that I have poured only because of wear and tear in commercial applications. Constant fork lift traffic and semi traffic.
