        "text": "Undermount sinks mount beneath the counter for a seamless look, making it easy to wipe debris directly into the basin. However, they require solid surface countertops like granite or quartz and need professional anchoring underneath. Drop-in (top-mount) sinks drop into a cut opening with a visible rim resting on the counter. Drop-in models are easier to install and work with virtually any countertop material, including laminate, but the raised rim can trap grime over time.",
