I bought this for my son when he went into kindergarten in 2005. He's going into 4th grade this year and I'm not planning on replacing it. The first year after he had it, the handle ripped on one side. LL Bean would have replaced it, however, they didn't make the same color/style to match his backpack any longer so I chose to keep it and sew it. It's held up like that for over 2 years now. It's a good size and cleans very easily. It still looks great after 4 years. I highly recommend this product!
