There are man-made granite and there are solid surface top. The two of them are not the same.

Now, I'm not an expert here, but I would venture to say that man-made granite is not as durable as granite.
I've never seen a broken granite top before, but I've seen broken man-made granite before.
But then again, I think it is more than enough to withstand a normal kitchen use.

Well if it matters to you, the one I saw broken was when it was being taken apart for renovation. It can withstand normal usage just fine.
