Do these things always tear after a few months or is that an exception? Also does it become permanently squashed over time?

We have had ours for a couple of months now and are very happy with it. I don't know what you mean by tearing. As for squashed over time, we will just have to wait and see.

Mine gets heavy use (a couple of loads of laundry every 2-3 days) and it has not fallen apart for me. I have had it for about 3-4 months as well and it has not lost shape or deteriorated in any way. I am careful, however, when I collapse it to push in all of the corners equally until the rods move smoothly. I don't try to force it.

Looking for more answers of people who have owned this chair for more than a couple years or less? I have heard it tears on lower roller after one year?

Ours gets worn daily and we have had no problems with seams tearing or anything falling off.

FWIW, I had a similar experience. It did not tear, but was quite difficult to separate from the backing.

I put a outside rubber floor mat in the bottom and have never had a problem with the bottom the sides after 3 years are fine but the top if you allow things to run can at the joints become frayed sort of or are the first to wear out, but patching with thread and needle works fine like you would repair any tear ... My next wagon I am going to reinforce. The edges at the joints with cloth patches. Not a big issue though even after 3 years and I use it a couple of times a week! Lots of use ... For heavier loads I made a cardboard bottom ... And for the edges a cardboard bumper for sharpe items .

I've had mine since April 2013 and even though I don't use it daily, it's held up fine after over a year of use. Just don't try to stuff it too full and you should be fine.

I've had mine for about 18 mos. I've nit had any problems and it still seems very strong. The ones I was buying from an auto parts place didn't seem to make it a year.

Hi,I've had mine for quite a few months, and it hasn't drooped in the middle like other's I've had. SO far it's holding up great.

My son (4th grade) used his EasyLunchbox bag all of the last school year, over the summer and is still using it at the start of this year! I just noticed this week that one seam has a half inch rip in it, but other than that no other tears or shredding (which I think is amazing for a full year of use!).

We have not had any problem with ours. We bought it for our daughter and she is messy. We have had it for months and wash it once a week...it stays nice. Does not rip or ball up.

I haven't had that problem as reported. For me it comes apart when it needs too, stays together (for the most part) when it needs to. Yes, super glue would permanently keep it closed but I wouldn't recommend it as ALL cases will need removal at some point (for occasional cleaning if nothing else).

Has not seemed fragile to me, I have only had them about a month, a friend though had them for 2 years and no problem there. Now unlike others I do not drop mine as I do not want dents on my floor, but that is just for me.

It's a heavy fabric. You should be able to repair it. I doubt it will tear though.

Mine last for a few months already. My cat loves it and she sleeps on that every day. She also scratches on that a lot. The material is tough enough to allow my cat to scratch on it for a few months. I don't see that it has to be replaced every other months. I am considering to buy more to glue them together to make a bigger bed for my cat. This product is a good piece to own with such a reasonable price. Love it.

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.
