These boards only lasted a few uses for us before the seams separated and they became water logged. Not a long lasting item.

Feels that way although it would depend on how much its used as with anything . I'm sure with normal use it will last

The internal foam is pretty solid but the outer shell started peeling after a couple of uses.

The first 2 or 3 days, the board was kinda stiff but I expected that. After a while it gets nice and flexible. If you want you can adjust the trucks or something to make it easier to turn

Seems to be engineered wood with the usual artificial covering. Very heavy and as long as it doesn't sit in water you should be ok. I have two of these and they are pretty sturdy, for now.

Particle board but Quality is very good for this price and useful for long long time.

I've had mine for about 4 months now, so far there haven't been any cracks or bending. The back is actually made out of particle board, which is very sturdy. You can actually use them as a clipboard if you have a gator clip on hand. I expect mine to last at least 1-2 years.

Not like a fiberglass. This board is best for beginners. If you are advanced enough to duck dive you may want to invest in a better board. I got this board as my first board. VERY buoyant!!!

It's all plastic so it won't hurt it. The only thing that will deteriorate would be the black backboard might fade, the net probably won't last as long, and the decals on the backboard will probably peel off.

The board looks like plywood and the pieces feel heavy like wood to me. I could not see any paint coming off- not even from the same puzzle at the library. I would think with such heavy use those pieces would show significant wear. That after a year or more, the library's pieces are in good condition testifies to the high quality of Melissa & Doug products.

It's fiberboard but it is very well built. I'm extremely impressed with the quality for the price.

It is made of particle board. As long as it is not moved often it should last. It looks nice but it does not have much storage.

It appears to be well made from quality plactic materials that are capable of taking some abuse. My 4yo grandson plays with it a lot and has put it through enough the last 3 months to distoy it if he was going to. Still going strong!

No, It's a veneer. I can't remember what the body wood is (I read it somewhere) but it's dense and fairly heavy. Definitely not basswood etc.

Yes I think that it will last a long time. It seems to be pretty good quality as far as I can tell.

Definitely not. It's noce and thick so you don't have to worry about it breaking easily, the wheels are very smooth to ride on and the trucks make the handling of the board quite easy.

Yes, and they are very good sturdy ones. I've been using my board for over a year now and can see that it will wear well for many more.

Since I had the seat installed for me, I can't answer about the material used. I can only say that after a year of use, I have had no problems whatsoever. I am a very large woman and have found the seat to be extremely comfortable and sturdy.

It's particle board, but it has lasted through one move and will hopefully survive another. The only thing wrong with it after 2.5 years is one peeled side of one board. (The edge trim has peeled off.). It's very sturdy, aside from that.
