A primary downside of granite countertops is their porosity, requiring regular sealing to prevent staining and bacterial growth, which can be a concern in humid Dallas environments. Granite is also prone to chipping if heavy objects are dropped on its edges. Butcher block, while requiring its own maintenance, offers a warmer feel and can be repaired more easily than a chipped granite slab.
