I love concrete tops, but it has to be maintained because it stains, much more so then granite. Use a razor to clean the counter with a little water as lube for the tough stuff. If you design is to bring the outside element into the house, then granite maybe the choice. I like the calming colors of granite without the crazy swirls. Seal it once and be done with it. Quartz is basically bomb proof with lots of colors to choice from. I like an import call Colorquartz. They are competitive with Silestone and Cesearstone but about 20% cheaper and are just as good. I have submerged all these materials in oil for testing before I put em' in client's homes. they allperform the same.

have you eaten in a restaurant with cheap granite counters and tables? Ever see them stained? You think they seal them yearly? Hell no but they hold up well. Quartz tops are abused the same way and they hold up the same or better and cheaper too. Oh yeah, these are cheap China imported quartz. My two cents. I have no dog in the fight on this but the dummy that has to put em' in people's homes.
