Durability seems to be a serous issue. Has anyone had the Spiderpodium for 6 months or longer without any parts breaking?

Yes, I've had mine since July 2013, I use it on my desk at work to hold my cell phone. When I'm bored or thinking, I take my cell phone off it and twist in whatever shape I come up with, so I believe it is very durable.

I've had mine for a year. But I don't have kids or play with it. I only move it around in my car. It's not a toy!

I've owned this product for over a year. I live in hot and humid Texas and keep it in my car all day. Works like a champ, very durable.

I've had mine just over three years now and have never had a problem. Not daily use, certainly, but for projects as needed. Kitchen cabinets, louve doors, moulding, the odd piece of furniture. I do make sure to clean the pieces properly (relatively easy, since there are so few parts), but I've had no durability issues so far.

I've had mine for almost a year, and I use it a lot and take it back and forth to practices and shows. Nothing's broken and everything's still working. Though obviously I wouldn't recommending throwing it on the ground or anything. I always transport it using the box and Styrofoam supports that it came in, just to be safe.

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!

I haven't had that problem either. If the string frequently gets caught up in plants or rubs concrete it won't last long. But you probably already know that.

I really enjoy this monopod. I have had no problems and I use it regularly. Hopefully the company can resolve your issue.

I have been removing it from my home & office desks twice a day, it has been durable sofar, but it has only been a week since I began using it. I'm also interested in knowing the long term durability.

It is not very durable. Most of mine has scrapped of with the last year and half.

I have never had that problem. I find it is very strong and durable. My two year old is constantly climbing on that area and often sits in that area, and there is no damage.

No bad issues here on durability. Only problem I have is that mine is on carpet in my workout room and slowly moves as I use it. It is not a problem with the BOB, but where I use it.

It's not as durable as I would've liked but as long as you treat it gently it should last a while. If you play frequently then I would not recommend it, but our family plays a couple of times a year and it has held up so far. The legs and the beanbags could be better made and I do see problems arising from both in the near future. Overall I would give it a B-.

We have not had any durability issues with this product. We do recommend using the proper toy cleaner, lube, and fanta-flesh powder or cornstarch to maintain it properly. It is covered under the manufacturers warranty, however, so if you have an issue, they will replace it for you.

I've had both of mine for 6 months and I've not had a problem, and I am pretty sure I read somewhere that it does not have that problem. It seems to hold it's shape really well also.

Speaking for myself, I've had two garden kneelers and to date have had no problems with the pad. I've asked my wife and her response is the same, no problems. Thanks, I will keep an eye on them and if I do have problems in the future will let you know.

I bought mine second hand from someone. I have had it for 2 summers now and it has not broken. They said they had it for 1-2 summers before me.

The limbs have held up pretty good for me so far! I do recommend different bolts though. The glue holding the threaded piece in does NOT hold up to cold weather. I lost a broad head the other day because of it.
