I have had one for about ten years. Some years it has gotten a lot of use, including some possibly mild abuse from children
and other years not used very much.
It’s still in good shape. I haven’t tried a bungee, I don’t think. I had something cheap before this one, but don’t remember the brand. I don’t notice anything lacking, but then again I don’t deal with joints that bother me or anything like that. I just enjoy rebounding as an alternative way to get some extra indoor “steps” or cardio.
