will you make your decision based on advice here or are you just
curious what advice you will get
you should approach this with facts not internet advice
how much weight will they support
how much does the granite weigh
granite is not that great a counter top unless you just want it for
looks
are you installing it yourself or are you questioning the installers
plan for installation

A piece of poplar the size of a trunk can support an entire tree... which
weighs a ton more than a tabletop slab of rock.

...for the first week. Maybe.
Granite is the perfect countertop (with "quartz" a notch give or
take).

not sure what happens to that if you drop your kitchen aid mixer there
but granite will probably crack
wood will just have character from then on
