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.

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
