Every type of counter top has it's pro's and con's. It's all about what you like the look of and what makes your kitchen look great. I personally like the unique look of natural stone that you get with granite. No two are the same. Concrete makes a great counter top, but for me I don't like how it looks. Quartz, Stilestone, Marble and Corian and others have their own look which for you may be perfect. For me, I like and want granite. And it's a great product.

As for standing on any counter, buy a step ladder. Floors are for walking and not to prep food on. Counters are where I do food prep so standing or using them as a step ladder, forget it.

Buy what you think looks good in your kitchen. Use a fabricator to cut it professionally and install it. I have used and like the finished product from Duncan Stone and would use them for Granite, Quartz, Marble or any natural or hard surface product. They are an excellent fabricator who have been doing it for many years.
