        "text": "The lifespan of kitchen cabinets and countertops largely depends on the quality of materials, installation, and ongoing maintenance. High-quality solid wood cabinets can last 30-50 years or more with proper care. Plywood or MDF cabinets typically have a shorter lifespan but can still last 15-25 years. Granite and quartz countertops are extremely durable and can easily last 30-50 years, often outliving the home itself. Laminate countertops are generally expected to last 10-20 years. Regular cleaning and avoiding misuse will maximize their longevity.",
