Caesarstone is another quartz-like option I like the look of.

Corian is a neat product I don't see a lot of but it's really durable. Kind of like a faux-marble but it can look a lot like quartz without the pricetag.

Concrete countertops are probably more maintenance than you'd want since it's a porous material. I see stainless steel and butcherblock occasionally in kitchens but I'm not a fan of either personally.

We did 2 bathroom renovations the last couple of years. One with a corian counter from a Lowes store sample flipbook (can't find it on their website), which turned out really cool. The other was a granite from Jadestone, and it was fine but pricier.
