I bought one of these about a year and half ago and it is still going strong. I use it daily with my two boys who are in the YMCA basketball program. I have my basketball hoop in the driveway so having this ball returner makes it safer to play outside instead of chasing the balls all over the place including the street. One of the clips in the back came off about 8 months of use. I went ahead and put tight wraps on all sides. I never bring this inside.
