My last pair lasted me about a year and a half and the toe started opening. I just bought another Bluetooth speaker you ware around the neck. The 518 is like 10 years old and I used it for like 6. Only positive is that the silicone is soft to the touch. Harder surface and yet extremely comfortable and correctional. I now own two different sets and the room is extremely organized. This spice organizer fit perfectly in a very small cupboard and allows me to see all my spices by site rather than having to remove the front spices to see the back ones. I have owned this item for over a month now and I am disappointed. The comfort is fantastic. you guessed it .
