is poplar a strong enough wood to support a large granite

will you make your decision based on advice here or are you just curious what advice you will get

you should approach this with facts not internet advice

how much weight will they support how much does the granite weigh

granite is not that great a counter top unless you just want it for looks

are you installing it yourself or are you questioning the installers plan for installation

not sure what happens to that if you drop your kitchen aid mixer there

but granite will probably crack

wood will just have character from then on

...for the first week. Maybe.

Granite is the perfect countertop (with "quartz" a notch give or take).

A piece of poplar the size of a trunk can support an entire tree... which weighs a ton more than a tabletop slab of rock.
