        "text": "Common pitfalls when planning outdoor countertops include underestimating the impact of weather exposure, choosing materials not rated for outdoor use, and neglecting proper structural support.

It's crucial to select materials that can withstand UV, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, and to ensure professional installation. AKN Design Group addresses these concerns through our managed process, ensuring robust material selection and expert construction to prevent future problems.",
