Yes, you can build them yourself, but don't forget to include the cost of lumber to build the mold(s) depending on how many you want to make at a time. Plus consider the amount of time it will take you to make 16.
I wanted a couple for my house and bought two from the St. Louis Benchrest club. They are the best size/shape concrete benches we shoot on anywhere. Cost is $100/top. Things like rounded corners make a big difference for comfort. You only want to do it once, so do it right if you can.
If you have a trailer and could go get them yourself, it may be something to consider.
