My Honda VFR800X Crossrunner motorcycle. Going on 5 years used everyday. Hopefully will last decades. A Staub pan A Aldi leather belt I bought 10+ years ago
Dining room furniture. It lasted well, but the design is so dated now!
I have a pair of Keen hiking boots (you know the ones...you've seen them I promise) that I've had for literally ten years. I'm sure they'd have more wear on them if I did serious hiking more often, but they are glued to my feet every rainy season and are still going strong to the point that I see no signs of failure anywhere. I oil and condition the leather once per year before the wet season.
Also, raw denim jeans. They take longer to break in but I've had a pair that's been with me six or seven years now through 30 lb swings. I've had them tailored twice, and they are still one of my nicest looking most comfortable pairs of jeans.
A KitchenAid mixer.
An old one.
Technically, we bought two - from goodwill. We cannibalized them for parts, cleaned and lubed all the machinery and reassembled one functioning Frankenmixer. It's been running with no problems for over fifteen years now - and the parts were from the seventies to begin with!
Got one and a bunch of attachments from Goodwill for $90. One of the gears was completely ground to dust. $13 part. Good as new.
I bought a box of bamboo toilet paper almost a year ago and I still haven’t run out. It was only a 24 pack.
