        "text": "The choice depends on maintenance preferences, daily use, and appearance. Quartz is engineered stone that is non-porous, highly stain-resistant, and never requires sealing, making it ideal for busy kitchens. Granite is natural stone that handles direct heat exceptionally well and features unique, one-of-a-kind veining, but it requires periodic sealing to resist liquid absorption and staining. In terms of durability, both resist scratches and chips well under normal kitchen conditions, though sudden heavy impacts on edges can chip either surface.",
