This item can withstand time lasting five years and still durable.  It can be used half to a full hour daily about 4-5 times in frequency a week.  Wearing gloves or simply bare knuckles, boxing workouts as well as a great deal of knees, kicks and elbows are best enjoyed with it not having any sign of wear and tear.  It has a solid plastic ring with a padding of about 4” thickness that can be height adjustable.  Unlike a regular punching bag such as a 40-lb Everlast hanging bag, it does not tear easily even after working out rigorously with punches and kicks.  It gets to be a little sticky if the tears were fixed with duct tapes.  It is pretty stable even without filling the round base full and it stays sturdy.  A funnel can be utilized if no hose is available or even a makeshift funnel from cutting a 2-liter Coke bottle bottom.  The best option for those who do not want to drill holes in the ceiling when hanging a regular punching bag.
