        "text": "Undermount sinks are mounted beneath the countertop cutout, creating a smooth, continuous surface that allows you to wipe water and debris directly into the basin. They require water-resistant solid surfaces like quartz, granite, or solid surface. Drop-in sinks rest on top of the counter with a visible rim, making them compatible with almost any material and generally easier to swap out later. However, the raised perimeter rim can trap grime and water, requiring more effort to keep clean.",
